Jan 2017 * Happy 9 years Walk Strong Roanoke! 🥰 Its been 15 years since I started walking to Leslie Sansone workouts which helped me lose 90 pounds in 2 years after my youngest son was born. (Zachery pictured) Teaching group fitness classes is my purpose and passion- I love it!
I started WSR 9 years ago with teaching local Walk15 classes then started an online worldwide facebook group. Lots of things in my life have changed in the past 9 years but Im grateful for my fitness family and my love for fitness and movement. Keep Walking Strong! 💪❤️
