Instructor of the Month

Haley Bechet – Certified Personal Trainer, and group fitness instructor, specializing in Pilates and the Silver Sneaker program. She teaches Pilates on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, Stroller Sweat & Strength on Thursday at 10am, and Aqua Fitness on Friday at 9am. Families can train with Haley for as little as $40 a session.

Haley has been teaching since 2005 and remembers forgetting her moves during a class in her “early days”. Fortunately, her class was forgiving and prompted her through to the finish. Now Haley can teach in her sleep and feels like she does so at times – being a new mom. The thing she loves most about teaching are the people. Haley loves to socialize and considers teaching an added bonus because she gets paid to keep herself in shape.

Outside of the club, Haley is a certified colorist for Redkin, and has traveled the U.S. as a national trainer for them. She also loves music, plays the guitar, and writes music for fun.

Health & Fitness Tip of the Month

According to Jeffrey Woods, a U of I professor of kinesiology, “….the benefits of exercise were apparent, even without a change in diet” You can read the study at ScienceDaily.com
