MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
Autumn
Outside of Group Exercise, Autumn enjoys spending time with her 4 kids and husband, weightlifting, fishing, playing games (board, card, video), and doing puzzles or trivia.
"Group exercise makes the tough workouts easier, the laughs make it addicting; then one day you realize you are part of a community and exercise is no longer something you have to do, it's something you get to do."
Hannah
Outside of her "obsession with the YMCA," Hannah loves hanging out with her kids and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
"My favorite thing about teaching group fitness would have to be that I get a front-row seat to watching the physical and mental transformation of the members! It truly is remarkable!"
WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING:
"I look forward to coming to combat knowing I will get an excellent workout. The instructors are very involved, keep the group on track and provide options for the variety of moves in the class."
"I love BODYCOMBAT. Autumn and Hannah are awesome instructors. Their positive energy and willingness to suggest modifications for the various moves make it a great workout!"
"BODYCOMBAT is like the first cup of coffee in the morning. I crave that first sip and its good to the last drop....of sweat!"
