Congratulations to our January Fitness Instructor of the Month, Tana Greene!

Check out her story here:

 

It was a sunny late-summer morning in 2004 when a sign in bold letters caught my eye: “Fitness Instructors Needed.” In that moment, a little voice in my head shouted- “Do It! Do It! Do It!”. There are times in our lives when our intuition speaks so loudly it cannot be denied. This was one of those times.

Movement has always been a cornerstone of my life. From competing on the swim team and soccer field to dancing, hiking, and biking, physical activity became both my outlet and my grounding force. Movement energized me, centered me, and shaped who I am.

Soon after seeing the sign, I earned my Group Fitness Instructor certification and began leading a wide range of classes. Yet I felt drawn to create deeper impact. As a teen, I envisioned myself motivating others to believe wildly in their own potential. To build more meaningful, one-on-one connections, I became a Certified Personal Trainer. I loved the intellectual puzzle of designing personalized programs, building relationships, and coaching clients up!

As my career evolved, so did my purpose. I wanted to help people do more than look and feel better—I wanted to help them restore function and confidence after injury, surgery, or illness. I pursued advanced education and certifications in Corrective Exercise, Injury Prevention, Mid-life Fitness for Women and related specialties.

Recognizing the vital connection between mind and body, I further expanded my expertise with education in Clinical Counseling Hypnotherapy, Holistic Health, and Human Nutrition. This integrative approach helps to identify self-sabotaging behaviors and to rewire them while honoring the whole person.

My 20+ year career in the fitness industry has been deeply rewarding as it is my way of being part of the solution to the health crisis our society faces. I look forward to many more years of being a force for good health, strength and positivity in the world! Never stop moving!
