Spotlight On Rhonda Durbin: Motivated, Versatile and Enthusiastic About Fitness

Finding a good fitness instructor, personal trainer, or especially a gym can be tough. Young ladies like Rhonda Durbin have made all three easier.

I first met Rhonda almost four years ago at a ZUMBAthon at my former gym, Your Best Body Fitness Center and Day Spa.
She had a lot of skill, different moves that I hadn't seen, and a love for fitness and others. Everyone present was impressed.

This enthusiastic, sweet, bright smiling woman is a trainer and instructor extraordinare and co-owns Tryon Health and Fitness Club with her mother in Tryon, NC.

She has literally made fitness a lifelong passion and now a career. She began teaching classes at the age of 13 when her aforementioned mother couldn't teach a class one day and Rhonda filled in. It was a mini trampoline class and she viewed the videos on it and all and taught that class well. The rest is history.

Ms. Durbin has many different certifications and accreditations in fitness through the AFAA  (Aerobic and Fitness Association Of America). She just had to recently get recertified as one must renew every two years. Not only is she a certified personal trainer and ZUMBA instructor, she also does yoga, kickboxing,  body sculpting, yogalates, and many other classes. There's not too many classes or styles that Rhonda doesn't or can't teach.

She trains and teaches folks of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds.  This includes young adults and the elderly. Her style is not a get in your face and yell ala Jillian Michaels. She motivates through examples and positive encouragement. Rhonda will push her students and clients as needed, but keeps a balance and adjusts to each person and class.

She has helped numerous people achieve results, which is something that she takes joy in. Rhonda loves to see others succeed, and loves to succeed personally as well. She strives to be as fit as possible and can be harder on herself than she may be on others.

No YouTube vids of her workouts are available as of current. However stay tuned, as Rhonda's brother is really into doing YouTube stuff, and has his own channel.  For those that aren't near the Tryon area, this would be an added treat.

Find Rhonda Durbin on Facebook, as well as her gym, Tryon Health and Fitness Club. Her and her mother are also very professional and have a good facility going with lots to offer.  Class schedules are available, as well as updates on the facility and Rhonda's life.

Rhonda is definitely one in a million in the fitness world. Do not be surprised if she is later mentioned in the same company as Jeanette Jenkins, Billy Blanks, and Jillian Michaels (less the drill sergeant style) . You heard it here first readers. Those who have taken her classes and sessions know this fitness diva is for real!
