Fitness Instructors

I moved here from England in 2001 and now live in Sequim with my wife and two sons.  Originally a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, I am now a full time fitness professional.

Hi, my name is Keoki also known as stretchguy.  I'm married to a wonderful woman by the name of Heidi.  We have been living in Sequim since January 06, having moved from the Big Island of Hawaii, where we spent the last 30 years.

I began teaching a stretch class back in 1986 for seniors of my hometown of Waimea, on the Big Island.  In 1992, I made a video of my stretch rountine and called it Easy Stretch - Body/Mind Relaxation, which is the rountine I teach at SARC since the summer of 2006.

My hobbies include: camping, hiking, shopping, snowboarding, and spending time with my family and friends.  I'm currently attending school at Peninsula College, working towards my nursing degree and hope to someday work in labor and delivery.  I am a certified doula, professional labor assistant, and had all three of my kids at home with a midwife.  You'll see me coaching youth cheerleading and shuttling my kids to numerous activities; soccer, 4H, cheer, brownies, Girl Scouts, drama, chess club, 5 acres, and the list goes on.  Look forward to meeting you at SARC!

My husband, (see Bill) was having way too much fun at work so I began to worry.  Why would anyone voluntarily go to work at four thirty in the morning if they didn't have to?  Something must be going on and I decided to find out what it was.  Having a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education, an Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA) certification and some experience teaching Water Aerobics gave me the perfect cover.  Well now I know, SARC is just a great place to meet and get to know practically everyone in Sequim.  I really look forward to seeing all my new friends each w

Hi, my name is Sue.  I was hired on at SARC in 2007.  My job classification is water aerobics, land aerobics, circuit room instructor and weight room instructor.  I have 24 years of experience in being involved in health clubs and also at one time owning my own personal training business.  My hobbies are exercising, camping and hiking with my family, volunteering, and just enjoying the wonderful area we live in. 

I've been teaching Tai Chi Chaun at SARC since December 1999 and have loved every moment.  Currently, I also teach Body Basics and Step/Circuit classes which combine cardio workouts with strength training and stretching to great music.  I love exercising, obviously, but also, music, knitting, crocheting, cooking, sailing, kayaking and trips to China to study Qi Gong and Chinese culture.
