I have always been athletic... played all of the sports in high school and played basketball in college.  It wasn't until after the birth of my 3rd child though, that I, like many other moms, looked in the mirror and decided to make a change.  I have to admit, that first decision was purely based on the physical change I wanted to see.  What I didn't know at that time was that fitness was going to bring the MENTAL change that I also desperately needed.  Two weeks after my first ever dance fitness class (taught by the "K" in CKB) my mother passed away unexpectedly.  Up until that point I had flirted with fitness... after that it became a NECESSITY.  My long term health for my family became a number 1 goal and the freedom in my MIND that those group fitness classes brought me was irreplaceable and undeniable.  Both "C" and "K" of CKB helped me through those times without even knowing the struggles I was carrying to the gym everyday.  I have taken their classes in every format they have taught!  I would have followed them anywhere, and now I am honored to be on a team WITH them as well.  I waited a long time to become a fitness instructor.  This website launch marks 1 year exactly from the first class I ever taught.  Fitness has changed my life in every way imaginable.  I will never stop encouraging people to TRY SOMETHING NEW and BE A LITTLE EXTRA no matter how long you have waited!
