Hello 212 community! My name is McKenna Prahl and I am a new group fitness instructor! I am very excited to be teaching a cardio dance fitness class!

I discovered my appreciation for cardio dance while attending college at UW-Stevens Point. I attended weekly Zumba classes and soon enough was anxious to become an instructor myself. I looked into training classes but did not fulfill my certification until recently when I revisited this dream of mine! I am thrilled to start teaching classes!

Cardio dance is a fun, high-energy exercise to enhance your fitness routine. For members wanting to join, this class includes a warm up, an escalation of energetic songs, a cool down, and stretch time. There are a variety of international song influences from all over the world including latin rhythm dance such as Reggaeton, Merengue, and Salsa.

I also work full-time as a second grade teacher at Rosholt School District. I grew up in Iola, WI but I now live in Stevens Point. I have been in the central Wisconsin area my whole life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, being outside, listening to music, playing sports, working out at the 212 gym, hiking, hammocking, and visiting local coffee shops!

Are you ready to come try an exhilarating Cardio Dance class? I am eager to have you join me in one of my offered sessions. I guarantee you will have a blast while feeling energized and strong! I truly enjoy exercising and I have an enthusiastic personality that will bring out the fun in this kind of workout! Motivating and encouraging members to do their best, reach their goals, and LIVE BETTER is what I am passionate about! I really look forward to meeting everyone!
