Trainer Spotlight – Theresa

Hi! I’m Theresa, and I absolutely LOVE teaching PiYo and HIIT at the ADAC. Before becoming an instructor at the Arena District Athletic Club, I was a member for four years and always found the club to be the best exercise facility in Columbus!

I never played sports growing up, and I was always the last to finish the mile in grade school and high school gym class. Yet, somewhere along the way in grad school, I decided I wanted to start running…. and I never looked back! My biggest accomplishments thus far in the running world are 2014 Columbus (Half) Marathon, I finished 1:43, which was a top 3% finish time for all women, 2014 and 2016 Cap City Half Marathon, I finished 1:45 putting me in the top 5% of female runners. Finally, 2015, Columbus Full Marathon, I finished 4:04.

I’ve been certified through Team Beachbody since June 2014. My specialities are PiYo and P90X (HIIT), and I’m looking forward to the Barre Intensity certification later this month. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2008 with an MBA in Marketing. By day, I am a Professional Pharmaceutical Sales Representative for Eli Lilly.

I live with my fiancé, Mike and our bulldog, Riley, in the Arena District, and we absolutely love being in the heart of the city all the time.

I am thrilled to teach at the ADAC, and I am passionate about showing my attendees it’s never too late to start exercising! I enjoy making my classes as fun as possible, and seeing new faces in my classes is always a pleasure!
