I am Kathy (Little-but-fierce!) McMillion. I was a tread-mill, stair-climber type of person, before a friend of mine pulled me into a Body Combat class. After that very first class, I was hooked and it wasn’t long before an instructor saw potential in me, and inspired me to become an instructor. In 2012 I took the leap, and set off to Les Mills Body Combat training.
Then, shortly after receiving my Body Combat certification, I realized that I wanted to add to my instructor abilities and in that same year, I became additionally certified in Body Flow. I have since advanced my Body Combat Instructor status, becoming AIM 1 certified in early 2015, and have also taken my Body Combat Advanced “2” training at the end of 2015. I now have set my sights set to move through the Advanced Level training for Body Flow, too. Both formats have become my passion. The sun rises and sets by the Body Combat and Body Flow classes that I teach. I came to teach at Striving to Be Better Studios in 2014 and fell in love with the members. At STBB, it’s like visiting family every time I walk through the door. There’s a close-knit feeling throughout the studio, and it’s always a happy place to be. I look forward to teaching at each week. It brings me great joy to see the progress that the members make, while taking my classes, and I feel honored to help them reach their fitness goals. Just show up, and I’ll take you the rest of the way! My teaching schedule is below. MON: 6:05pm BODYCOMBAT TUES:7:15pm BODYFLOW SAT: 8:30am (BODYCOMBAT) & 9:30am (BODYFLOW) (1st/3rd/5th) |
