Welcome to Made to Move Fitness! This business was launched in response to my sincere desire to stay active and keep moving! Why "Made to Move"? Because I believe we are all created to MOVE throughout our lives. Movement and activity is essential to our overall well-being as we progress through this crazy life.
In January 2016, I lost my only sister to breast cancer. It was then that I realized I was not taking my health seriously. I was overweight, eating in excess, and not exercising. Losing her just before her 45th Birthday made it clear that life is too short to just go through the motions. I started attending a local Zumba® class, which helped reduce stress and became my own personal therapy. My love for Zumba® grew as those one-hour classes flew by.
After a few years, STRONG Nation™ classes were also introduced. I initially feared I would not make it through the class. Before long, I saw my stamina increasing and my body transforming. I was hooked! A friend and I have a mantra for STRONG Nation™..."You can do anything for 12 minutes"...even Quad 3.
Fast-forward to 2019, and I was approaching my own 45th Birthday. I wanted to commit to making a permanent change in my life and fully live the years my sister missed. In October, Instructor Training opportunities came to Springfield, for both Zumba® and STRONG Nation™. With encouragement and support from my Instructor, I signed up for both. I completed both trainings successfully and became licensed to instruct. That same instructor, gave me the opportunity to help lead classes, building my confidence and increasing my abilities. I will forever be grateful for her leadership and mentoring.
As we all know, 2020 was a challenging year. COVID-19, has taken its toll on us, both physically and mentally. Gyms and fitness classes were closed and have had a difficult time returning to the former "normal." Understandably, many businesses were not able to continue, including my former Zumba® and STRONG Nation™ classes. However, with the support of my former instructor and fellow teachers, I decided to keep going, and Made to Move Fitness was created.
I know I was Made to Move! Moving is essential to my mental, physical and spiritual health. I believe my life with Zumba® and STRONG Nation™ are just beginning, and I want to continue to offer classes outside of a typical gym setting. These classes have done so much for me personally, and I cannot imagine stopping now. We are all Made to Move, and I hope you will join me on this exciting new journey!
Blessings!
