🌟 Instructor Spotlight: Angela 🌟
Almost 20 years. Let that sink in.
For two decades, Angela has shown up with passion, consistency, and a heart for helping others grow stronger — inside and out — through Les Mills. Her impact goes far beyond the workout floor. She builds confidence, community, and connection in every single class.
We are incredibly thankful for her dedication and the light she brings to Yakima Athletic Club. Angela, your loyalty, leadership, and love for what you do do not go unnoticed - thank you! Hear from Angela on how she got started with group fitness, and what it means to her to be an instructor:
"In July of this year I will have taught for 20 years--yikes! I started with Bodystep, after an instructor saw what I never did-she said I should teach and so I did! A little over a year after that, I got my certification in Bodyflow (now Bodybalance), and 10 years ago I took the leap to get certified in Bodypump. A couple of years before I started teaching I had reached my highest weight, I felt awful and I knew something needed to change, so I joined the YAC. Group Fitness was what I connected with and it kept me coming back. I love how I feel, love the music, love the energy and camaraderie of the members around me, and I love sharing that with new members and our "regulars"!"
