Wow, Gina! This would be a wonderful opportunity for you to use your life to further encourage others and to also allow others to motivate you to stay fit! Wowee! It's a win-win situation! Go for it!

How cool is this!?!
You have been such a help and inspiration on the board, you know how to teach and like it, you are a self-aknowledged gym rat ("Hi, my name is Gina and I'm a gym rat."). It's a perfect fit! I would feel encouraged to attend a class if I thought the instructor had once walked in my shoes. Heck, I'd love it!
Go for it! Yaaaaay Gina!

I think it would be great for you! And I'm sure it would be re-assurance so that you would never want to get that out of shape again!
And DAMN, 80 bucks a month!!!?

Unlike you, I'm not surprised in the least. As much as you LOVE working out, running and the gym, it would be in their BEST interest to have you doing that. It makes good business sense. Who else to motivate intersted people than someone who is super-gung ho themselves. Plus, look at what you have achieved....!!!
It was a very smart move on their part. Congrats darlin'...only because I know your going to do it...your personality ooozzzeeessss happiness!! They really got lucky with you my dear!!
