Meet Instructor: Jacqui Slebodnick

Q: Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Michigan.  I've lived in Canton my entire life and am an alumni of Plymouth Salem High School.


Q:What inspired you to become an instructor?
I've enjoyed playing sports and training my entire life.  I've always wanted to share that passion and knowledge with others. My focus is on informing my clients of the facts and best practices, which will not only get them to the level of fitness they seek, but also provide them the tools to maintain that level of fitness for the rest of their lives.


Certifications:

• National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Personal Trainer Certification
• Associates Degree in Small Business Management 

Q: How long have you been instructing?
I've been training as my professional occupation for nearly a year and a half, but I've been training on a part-time basis for about 5 years.

Q: What types of classes do you teach at Core Sport?

I teach Boot Camp, Full-Body Bands, Butt and Core, Bosu and TRX.

My favorite class to teach is Boot Camp.  Its intense nature, provides each participant with the opportunity to push themselves physically (anaerobically and aerobically) and mentally during each session. This class pushes and challenges your will and athletic prowess!

Previous place of employment:

• Life Time Fitness in Novi, Michigan

Hobbies/Interests:

I love training and playing nearly all sports.  My favorites are tennis, softball, volleyball and basketball. I also love spending time with my fiance and family.

Groupon Deal (Click Here)!

Without fitness instructors, ambitious sit-ups become reluctant crunches and eventually degenerate into gym-floor naps. Stay alert with today's Groupon: for $49, new clients get a personal training session (an $80 value), a Pilates equipment class (a $38 value), and two group classes (a $40 value) at Core Sport Pilates Fitness Studio (a $158 total value), with two locations in Plymouth. Group classes and personal training sessions are held at the Penniman Avenue location; Pilates equipment classes are held at the Main Street location.

The United States Pilates Association–qualified posture-improvers at Core Sport mold bodies with routines that bolster core strength and extend flexibility. Personal trainers meld heart-pumping cardio and strength training with balancing poses and flexibility maneuvers that are custom-formulated to each individual client. Pilates equipment classes center around devices such as the tower, which harnesses the power of spring resistance to give muscles the beauty and resilience of a fully-compressed pogo stick. A potent arsenal of Gratz apparatuses, free weights, resistance bands, and medicine balls facilitate a stretchy, bouncy fitness regimen. Seasoned Pilates instructors lead gaggles of Pilates practitioners in one-hour group classes scheduled daily, such as the floor-based Pilates mat class and a boot camp class that aims to fortify cardiovascular endurance. Core-strength Pilates training develops the body as a whole rather than a collection of parts and zones, so clients don't run the risk of an odd number of abs.

Mirrors inside Core Sport's studio reflect a playground of workout gear arranged on pale wood floors. Windows cast calming natural light onto the leg-lifts, back-bends, and face-squeezes of practicing students.

Core Sport's new client offers, such as one free week of group classes, a $35 personal training session, or one free Pilates equipment class are available even after this Groupon has been redeemed.
