Background My name is Regina Rojewski and I am a member of Mountain Park Community Church. My journey to lasting fitness began 2 years ago with a prayer and culminated in my recent certification as a group fitness instructor. I received my training through Revelation Wellness, a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the concept that we live well, love God, be healthy, and love others. RevWell instructors receive intensive training using the ACE group fitness instructors manual and the ACE essentials of exercise science (anatomy, applied kinesiology, exercise physiology, physiology of training, and nutrition). Instructors are vigorously grounded in the Word of God and trained to proclaim and direct our students toward Jesus as the center of their lives. I am CPR/AED certified, per ACE standards and I can teach a wide variety of types of classes from chair classes for the obese to high intensity interval and cardio circuit training for advanced students. I have a certain amount of equipment that I can use for this ministry. You don’t really need a lot of equipment, just creativity ! Demonstrating that transformational change is possible though Jesus is my life’s work. That I could accomplish this though a ministry would be a blessing and a way for me to give back all that God has given me. I hope you will consider helping me to help others in this way.
