Taking my leggings off for this official announcement ,
I am proudly representing the Fitness Business Podcast  (#fbpfanatic) which is basically my alma mater 🏻‍-let me explain...

With over 700,000 downloads this podcast is THE resource for fitness managers, owners, and club operators. 

Years ago I went from a GroupX manager at a small club making 🥜, to a bigger chain due to a buyout, and then, rather fortuitously, to my soulmate Athletic Club @dac_eugene - a family owned, historic building, 100,000 sq feet spanning two city blocks, with 8 group fitness studios in the heart of downtown Eugene . I wanted to be a better leader and as my responsibilities grew from GroupX to Small Group, to Personal Training to #allthingsfitness, I quickly realized that I needed to have a fuller understanding of overall club operations. I needed to know how the whole engine worked (from facilities maintenance to food and beverage, to locker rooms and towel service, to the welcome desks etc). Enter FPB! I started binge consuming episodes and my confidence in my role grew. 

So today, it’s with with excitement and gratitude that I take on this temporary role with 6 international leaders that I’m super honored to be listed among 🤩:
@sfable 
@rebecca.garitypinto 
@thefunctionroompt 
@marisahoff 
@salesdad44 
@audrey.cairn 
Thank you FBP:

​WARRIOR classes have covered every aspect of fitness for me. My flexibility, strength and aerobic capacity have all been enhanced by these beautifully designed programs, greatly improving my day to day quality of life. -Michael C.
Ellen is innovative, inspiring and always forward thinking. 
WARRIOR is part of my everyday routine. I love my WARRIOR community! - Anita M.
