A Bit About Paula
Paula has been involved with group fitness since 1982 and has taught fitness classes at Nautilus for over 30 years.
Paula found her passion for fitness as a young girl during her daily jogs with her dad in the Ozarks of Arkansas. This led her to receiving a cross country and track scholarship to Lyon College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business and Marketing. While attending school, she was on the Cross-Country & Track Team for 4 years and was inducted into the Cross-Country & Track Hall of Fame in 2015.
Since then, her passion led Paula to successfully pass numerous fitness-format certifications throughout her years of teaching.
Outside of the gym, Paula loves spending time with her family and friends. While she enjoys activities that keep her physically fit, her inspiration to teach is driven by the opportunity it gives her to share that passion with others.
Over the many years of teaching Group Fitness Classes at Nautilus, Paula has had the pleasure of watching hundreds of people achieve their fitness goals – which has truly impacted her life.
