Leila Schaub

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.
