Hi! I am Arena, and I want to be your Inspiration.

​

I am a 2003 high school graduate of Clarksdale High School. I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications at Mississippi Valley State University in 2008, a Master of Arts degree in Business Management at Liberty University in 2012, and a fitness Certification (emphasis in kickboxing/step aerobics) from American Sports and Fitness Association in 2017.     

​

Growing up with asthma, I was not one who enjoyed exercise. I replaced PE in grade school, middle school, and high school. When I arrived to college, PE was a requirement for graduation; so, I decided to wait until my senior year to take the class. My first semester of PE was amazingly exciting. I actually had no idea that I’d enjoy it as much as I did. This was the beginning of something great. After graduating with a Bachelor’s, I immediately began working in an accounting field, and shortly after that I decided to return to school.  Work and school were time consuming; therefore, exercise was not a priority nor was it on my “to do” list. 

 

Four years after graduating from my Master’s Program, I was reintroduced to exercise and fitness (2016).  This was no “ordinary” exercise.  This experience was the one that changed my life, forever.  Let me introduce you to STEP AEROBICS.  This class rejuvenated my mind, body, and soul. I found my passion, and I am indeed a new person because of it. Step Aerobics had become my focus, and my body goals were being fulfilled.  Struggling with purpose, I finally figured it out (in part). I knew I had to level up, so I became a Certified Step Aerobics Instructor in 2017. Now, I am excited to share an experience of a lifetime with you.  The question is “ARE YOU READY?” Let’s make this workout WORK OUT!
