ReFit Dance Instructor
Carolyn is a wife, mother, worker-bee, and queen multitasker. In the chaos of life, she found it easier, and easier, to forget her own health and well-being; so, she went on a fitness journey. This journey took her from elliptical machines to weight machines, from fearing fitness classes to teaching fitness classes, and it all lead me to REFIT®. And…REFIT® WAS DIFFERENT!! It was dancing and laughter, friendships and community, happiness and sunshine, all rolled into one sweaty-hour! Her heart leads her on this REVOLUTIONARY journey and she has never looked back!
Recently moved to Florida from Colorado and also enjoys working for iHeart Radio.
