Diane Wilson
I experienced my first BodyPump class 7 years ago. I learned about the various classes offered at Body
Images through the UCS community education bulletin and I came to Body Images
expecting to take a Pilates class. However, I had gotten the dates mixed up and
they were conducting a Body Pump class instead. I can still remember Scott
encouraging me to join in and how intimidated I felt when they handed me that
bar with weights! But the music was great, the instructor encouraging (thank
you Laryssa) and I found that after one class I was hooked.
The last seven years have been full of personal challenges. I went through a divorce, entered the world
of single parenting (I am the mother of three wonderful teenagers!) and
continued to dedicate myself to my career as a high school counselor.
Talk about stress!
Through it all I continued taking Body Pump classes. These classes not only help me by
relieving the stress but made me feel empowered to tackle whatever challenges I
encountered. Body pump has made me stronger not only physically but mentally as well.
Two years ago I decided to take my addiction of Body Pump to a higher level by completing
the instructor’s training. I have the opportunity to teach BP for a year and I
love it. Now as a Body Pump instructor I look forward to sharing the fun and empowerment
that Body Pump brings to all who participate!
