About me…
Tell us a little about yourself:
I am a self employed 60yr old “Tahoe Girl”. I was lucky to have grown up in Tahoe – So Tahoe High class of 75’! I own Aloha Ice Cream (Not the reason I am a work out addict) and also am Co-Owner of a local Construction Co. and drive a snow plow during the winter. Yes, I work ALOT! I am proud mom to my wonderful daughter Casey. Crazy Bernese Mountain Dog mom, love hiking with my Berner “Blue” music, cooking and reading. When I can grab some quiet down time I thoroughly relish it. Working out facilitates me “keeping my head screwed on straight” – taking care of my body is a top priority, and I do my best problem solving while sweating.
What made you choose Tahoe Club 100?
I am typically not a gym goer, but I felt that I needed extra motivation and support in my fitness goals. I believe that people come into our lives for a reason, and became friends Rosie and her family through Aloha Ice Cream. Rosie told me about Club 100, took a few classes and was hooked – I like a workout that hands my !!! to me, and knew that Rosie was just the person to do it.
