Fitness & Wellness Staff

A monthly spotlight on instructors and programs

While longstanding relationships have been built over the years, there have been personnel changes and new offerings added over the past few months. Learn more about the diversity of programs offered, connect with new faces, and reconnect with familiar ones.

Stacy Johnson (pictured above) is a veteran group fitness instructor, current Warrior Strength Master Trainer, and previous Beachbody Live Master Trainer. She holds her American Council on Exercise (ACE) certification in group exercise and specialty certifications in indoor cycling, step, cardio, strength, TRX, cardio kickboxing, and Mind/Body formats. She has a master’s degree in social work and Bachelor of Arts in psychology that she puts to use in her job as a health coach with Noom. Prior to entering the fitness industry, she spent 15 years overseeing and providing training and assistance on implementation of federal program evaluations. She spends her time off with her husband, two kids, and two dogs — skiing in the winter, camping, and tending her garden in the summer. She loves a day (or night) filled with good food and good friends.

Gina Frabotta

Gina Frabotta has been teaching in the fitness industry for 25 years. Her love of movement began as a young gymnast and blossomed from there to studying modern dance at Ohio University, where she received her bachelor’s degree.
