Sam Hacker
(PiYo, HIIT, Fit Fusion Friday)

Who would have thought I would be teaching exercise classes in Bennett, Colorado? Not me! I am just as surprised as you all! I love my job and I love the folks who come to the Rec more! We have fun in SilverSneakers Classic, Yoga and Tai Chi. I have loved power lifting and weight training all my life. I absolutely adore the water. I love being of service to such a great community of people. Between teaching classes, swimming lessons, silent auctions, Small Business Saturday, casino trips and Friday morning coffee; you all keep me busy!! I have no other place that I would rather be. This is my home, my love and I appreciate each and every one of you that chooses to share some of your time here, at BPRD.

Nickie Burke
(Turbo Kick, Women's Strength Training 101, Advanced Weight Training, Fit Fusion Friday)

I grew up in the Bennett community and graduated from Bennett High School. I attended Metropolitan State University gaining a bachelors of Arts in History with minors in Political Science, English and Secondary Education while also earning a secondary teaching license. My husband and I returned to Bennett and are raising our four children here. We love being a part of the community I grew up in. I was raised in a fitness driven, athletic family so health and fitness has always played a large role in my life. After experiencing many complications, injuries and health concerns during my high-risk pregnancies, I fell further in love with the importance of good nutrition and fitness in our lives. It's my passion to share this love of fitness and health with others while helping them reach their personal goals.

Elizabeth Carlson
(HydroFit Training)

Greetings! I am Elizabeth. I have lived in Bennett for the last 10 years. I am raising my boys here and I love teaching water aerobics. I am an accountant in the day, full time mom, and part time water fitness instructor. We have a great community and we have fun in the night time water aerobics class. Come join us Monday and Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 PM for a guaranteed fun time!

Anna Gibson
(Gentle Sunrise Yoga)

Anna Gibson, a yoga practitioner of nearly 15 years, has a zest for life and all things physical. She went to her first yoga class to help gain strength and flexibility to improve her performance in martial arts, but found so much more through yoga. She firmly believes that the benefits of yoga extend way beyond the mat and that a strong, purposeful practice lends mental clarity, composure, and presence throughout all aspects of life.
Anna's mission is to pass on these great benefits to her students and help guide them through their personal practice to find the best version of themselves.
When she's not practicing yoga, she can be found lifting weights, rock climbing, backpacking, painting, riding her American Quarter Horse, or playing with her two German Shepherds.

Graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration/Management Information Systems with a Minor in Economics and currently employed at Front Range Airport and Bennett Park and Recreation District. Fitness has always been a part of life, but over two years ago it had become my new passion and helped pull me out of a “rough patch.” I want to motivate, inspire, and educate others about being healthy and fit; adjusting your habits will help you achieve any goal that you may desire and as an added bonus build self-esteem, self-confidence, and you will look and feel amazing!

Suzi Rubio
(Aquacise)

Hi my name is Suzi and I have been living in Bennett for the last 5 years. I have taught water aerobics for 17 years at different facilities and I LOVE the members here at BPRD. I love working in the water because you can challenge yourself just as much as you can challenge yourself in the weight room, yet you are not as sore and you have happier bones after a water workout. You will hear me say "suck in your gut" and "tighten those cheeks" more often that I would like to admit. We have a good strong cardio class in the water, please join me Mondays and Thursday from 10-11am. The class is advanced but you are encouraged to work at your own speed.

Vikki Katchen
(Nifty 50's Aqua)

Hi! I am Vikki and I have been doing water aerobics for the last 20 years. I am also certified to teach SilverSneakers Yoga Stretch and MSROM. I am retired so I like filling in to help out other instructors and I love working out in the water because it is so good for your body. Come join me Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8-9am to work out in the water, feel good, and improve your quality of life.
