Ann Granato

Ann walked in our doors looking for a more challenging workout as she was entering her 50’s.  The kids were grown and it was time to do something for herself.  It was a perfect fit.  A couple years later she became certified as an instructor. 
“If you haven’t walked in the door because you think you’re too old, wrong!  If you haven’t walked in the door because you aren’t fit enough, wrong again!  You walk in the door because you want to get fit.”
Join Ann on Thursday evenings for a good workout and some fun music.  She also works full time and highly recommends cardio kickboxing as a great way to work out the frustrations of the day.  Start at your own pace and watch the progress begin.
