Tracy Wood
I joined the FitClub Instructor family in April 2017. I am also a Speech-Language Pathologist at Mt. Pleasant Public Schools and a clinical supervisor at CMU. I'm blessed to have two amazing, daughters, Taylor a Senior at MPHS and Kelsey a Junior at CMU. I also am married to this awesome guy, Brian for over 23 years. I started by fitness journey 5 years ago as a new year's resolution. I remember the feeling of walking into that Zumba class for the first time. I know the struggles of yo-yo diets, negative body image, emotional eating and making time to put health first in a busy lifestyle. I have to remind myself daily that my physical health is vital for my emotional and mental health. My favorite workout is heavy weights, turbokick and boxing as it reminds me of how strong my body is and how blessed I am to have this functioning body. I LOVE the FitClub family! I'm often overwhelmed by the love and support I find every time I walk through those gym doors. Come work out with me! I promise walking through the doors is the hardest part...but you won't regret it! |
