Kathy Moore fell in love with group fitness in 1988. She felt empowered, strong and loved making her participants feel empowered and strong, both mentally and physically. Kathy started as a personal trainer in 1986, but then felt her true inner rockstar emerge as a group fitness instructor. Flash forward a few decades later and she still feel the same way! In between corporate jobs, having children, etc. Kathy never stopped teaching. It is her passion and will be for as long as she can move. POUND was love at first strike in 2013. It combined her love of music and exercise. A match made in heaven!
When Kathy is not teaching, she loves hiking, paddle boarding, boating, snorkeling, travel and spending time with her family.

What are your 3 earliest memories in life?
-Riding my tricycle on the porch and getting my big toe stuck in the spokes of the wheel. (I still have the scar)
-The day I got off the school bus and my mother was sitting in the living room on a chair with a beautiful house dress on and our new dog at her feet. A beautiful, white, long haired Samoyed named Puddles.
-My mother cooking frog legs in a skillet and they were still jumping. Needless to say, I did not and have never eaten frog legs. Scarred for life.
