Congratulations to our February Fitness Instructor of the Month, Jackie Rusich!

Check out her story here:

My life changed as I knew it when my husband's job transferredus to North Carolina.  When I was in my thirties, my husband and I drove from Northern California to our new homein North Carolina with our two sons. I left all my family, my friends, and my job all at once. After a short time as a stay-at-home parent, I had the opportunity to go to work at a new local gym.  I started as the Membership Manager and slowly got into working out & lifting weights. (I mean, I was already thereanyways).  To change my workout and try something new, I tried Water Aerobics.  I enjoyed this so much, I soon after got my trainers license & certification to become a water aerobicsinstructor.  I made lifelong friends with my participants.  I realized how much I loved teaching & the socialization and connections that come with instructing classes.  After 22 years in North Carolina, our grown sons had moved to Colorado.  We decided it was also time to move to Colorado. It was truly a blessing to begin teaching classes at our local neighborhood gym.  I began teaching Strength Tabata which led me to teachingAqua Tabata and now instructing Aqua Fitness classes at CVPRD. I have new friends and more relationships here in Colorado.  Thanks to all the consistent Aqua Fitness attendees that make my job fun & easy, and I look forward to seeing them in every class!
