MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
Education/ Credentials: E.D.White in 2010. Bachelor’s degree in Human Performance Education from NSU. While attending college, America College of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer. I am pursuing more certifications in areas such as Strength and Conditioning and Sports Nutrition.
About Me: When I am not training clients, I am teaching physical education and health at the local high school. I have 6+ years’ experience coaching basketball. I have also coached middle school volleyball and track. My passion lies in helping athletes train to become the best that they can be.
Coming soon
Education & Credentials: Bachelor of Science in Marketing from LSU, Zumba & Zumba Gold
About Me: I am married to Mike Duplantis, and a mother of two daughters, Madalynn and Morgan. I enjoy spending time with my family watching movies, hanging out by the pool, and having friends over. I have taught at NSU for 3 years and also teach at the Thibodaux Hospital Wellness Center.
Fitness Philosophy: What’s so great about group fitness is that you spend time and make friends with people from all walks of life but you all have something very significant in common: you all are working towards a healthier you.
How do you motivate your participants? I attended my first Zumba class about 6 years ago and was hooked immediately. I love to dance and Zumba gave me that opportunity. In fact, Zumba feels more like a dance party than an “exercise class”. Come join our party; Zumba is truly the “funnest” class on campus.
Education & Credentials: Allied Health Major at NSU, Les Mills BodyJam, Les Mills BodyPump.
About me: I’m a 20 year old mother and college student that loves every minute spent making memories with my three-year-old son. Fitness plays a huge role in my life, and I love to help people enjoy that aspect of their lives as well. I have multiple jobs, so whenever I do have time off I like to spend it with my little boy. Being active gives people an outlet of escape from their everyday lives, and I love to play a role in that “escape”.
Fitness Philosophy: Fitness overall allows people to make themselves better, not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. The members of a gym that walk through those doors have already completed a huge step towards making their day/lives better. Just from walking through those doors, they have come to make a difference, and that is huge. Setting goals (even if they’re to add a little weight on the bar or to run an extra mile) is another big step closer to a fitter life; achieving those goals can bring no better feeling of reassurance that you CAN do anything that you set your mind to. So keep setting those goals and make new ones, because fitness is never a destination—it’s a journey!
How do you motivate your participants? I would say to have a successful class, there has to be some kind of comfort. I like to make people feel comfortable because who wants to feel awkward or uneasy while trying to do new things? Yes, it’s something that we should all overcome, but if I can help ease that discomfort— I’m on it!
I also like to make things fun because I personally believe that working out shouldn’t always be serious and boring. Will I challenge you? Yes, most definitely— because what’s a great training without a little test. Les Mills is known world-wide for their amazing taste in music, so members should have NO worries when it comes to that.
