Sandy Smith-Let's Stay Fit!
I joined Spark people after hearing about it from others. I love to be involved in anything to do with health and fitness. I work at my local YMCA as a Personal Trainer, Fitness instructor, and front desk staff. I teach Females in Training, Kick Boxing, and Running 101/201 classes. Fitness and helping people are my passion. (Staying fit myself is a must as well!) I lost 50 lbs over 20 years ago and have kept it off, so I know the battles people face, and love to help them reach their goals. ...
