GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
AIMEE WINKLER

TEACHES AT:

Eldersburg

TEACHING STYLE:

My goal is to meet members where they are in their fitness journey so that everyone feels successful when they leave the studio. I love being form-focused and offering options for everyone to achieve their best results and prevention of injury. At the same time, I keep it light hearted by being a little silly so members can de-stress! Oh…and I tend to sing during class – frequently!

FAVORITE SONG:

Honestly, I have no favorite! All music moves me (literally) and my motto is “music makes the world go round”.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AIMEE

I have been an advocate for health and fitness since I was very young. I wanted to lift but didn’t have a job to pay for a membership. Hence, my first job was in the kids’ center of a local gym. I progressed from the kids’ center to the front desk and then in 1993 I got my first group fitness certification, and a few years later, my personal trainer certification. I am happily married for 23 years and have three very active children who keep us running non-stop.
