I have participated in group fitness for the last seven years, and have thought about becoming a group fitness instructor for about six of those years. Although I have attended classes with dozens of instructors at multiple gyms, I never once discussed this with the instructor. Lenise always ends with her classes by encouraging her participants to ask her about any questions or concerns they may have, even if it is not related to that specific class. After six years of thinking about teaching, I decided that she was the right person to talk to. Lenise answered all of my questions and very genuinely encouraged me to take the necessary steps so that I could begin teaching. She has guided and supported me during the process, and she continues to guide and support me! Lenise has such a range or experiences and knowledge that there is always a circle of people surrounding her after class asking questions about weight lifting, weight loss, exercise during pregnancy, and more. She takes the time to address each person's specific needs. In addition to her wealth of knowledge, Lenise knows how to work you so that you see results! After years of weight lifting, Lenise has taken me to the next level and I can finally do push-ups on my toes (well, I can do one set on my toes). Regardless of your fitness level, Lenise can help you to reach your goals. Thanks for everything Lenise. Dana Pospishil Orlando, Florida
