Meet The Team
Step Instructor
Diana
I started exercising 30 years ago. I was divorced and needed something to be just for me. Started doing classes when the gym made a separate room for aerobics (too embarrassed to do in the main gym). I did at least one step class a day and sometimes 2!
​
I love helping others and my wish is that when you take a class you carry a feeling of accomplishment and joy out with you. Step challenges your body and your mind.
But no matter what form of exercise you choose, be consistent. Be present (put the phone down). Listen to your body. Move move move!
My favorite exercise is step but I’d love to have a Zumba class again. I enjoy reading, gardening, my dogs and my family and of course teaching step at Gymies!
Yoga Instructor
Vikki
My fitness journey really began when I joined Gymies. I had always exercised but not consistently. Now it has become a part of my everyday routine. I always feel so much better, both physically and mentally. As a certified yoga instructor, I have to say it is my favorite activity. I also enjoy walking, golf, and weight training.
Yoga Instructor
Tonya
I enjoy doing yoga and going to the gym outside of my regular job. I have been active in extracurricular activities since a teenager.
I began yoga at 30 and loved the physical, mental and emotional benefits of it. I have been teaching yoga for 6 years this year.
Muscle Pump & Cardio Sculpt Instructor
Shannon
I started doing aerobics in high school and fell in love with how good it made me feel and how fun it was. That passion led me to become a certified instructor by the time I was 18. I have over 30 years of experience teaching all platforms of fitness classes along with cheer and dance choreography through the years. I was a Purdue Golduster for 3 years, joined the Air Force for 4 years, came back to Indy and cheered for the Colts for 3 years. Now I am raising 2 teenage daughters as a single mom. I have been doing hair for 19 years, currently @ Cloud 9 Spa & Hair Design. Life is good!
