Leah B. is a Group X class fitness instructor who has been getting people's heart rates up since 2019 at the Rec Center. She teaches Barre Fitness at 5:45 p.m. on Mondays, plus Cycle at 5:30 a.m. and Boot Camp at 6 a.m. on Thursdays.

Here are six things you probably don't know about her.

1. I love cooking for family and entertaining guests when I am not at the Rec. I like to make healthy recipes, but I also have a sweet tooth and enjoy baking treats.


2. I love fitness and I enjoy sharing something I love with my class participants. I enjoy helping people live a healthy lifestyle through exercise. 


3. My favorite treats are homemade cookies and chips and dip.


4. My favorite movie is “Dirty Dancing” — no one puts Baby in a corner!


5. When I am not teaching, I am spending time with my kids and husband. I also work part-time at my church and recently started substitute teaching. Before I taught fitness, I was a high school French teacher.


6. I love to travel and have visited 18 countries. The furthest I have been is Thailand, where I spent two months doing missionary work.
