| Lynda Brletic, a former interior designer, left her design business to follow her passion to be a fitness instructor. While taking group classes as a member, she felt the instructors weren’t “connecting” with the participants or motivating them to reach their personal best, so she decided to start teaching her own classes! Lynda prides herself on encouraging students to reach their fitness goals, feel better about themselves (both physically and mentally) and she enjoys seeing students accomplish what they never dreamed they could do. At bFit, Lynda teaches Cardio Kickboxing, BOSU Power, Balance and Toning and Cardio Blast. She loves bFit for the high quality instructors that help members to reach their fitness goals.
