Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Yepes Castro.
Hi Andrea, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started getting into Fitness about 15 years ago. Always training but I never thought of being a personal trainer or group fitness instructor and that is how Everything started back in New York a friend of mine invited me to try Kangoo Jumps and as soon as I put the boots on I fell in love with it. I started attending classes on a regular basis and eventually became an instructor and personal trainer. Once I move to South Carolina, I opened my own fitness studio and it has been a blast. I have also been able to meet amazing people. I’m thrilled that I can do what I love to do.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was not easy to start from scratch in a new place but little by little, people started to know me and were willing to try Kangoo Jumps. It hasn’t been easy, but I feel blessed.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I specialize in Kangoo Jumps. Kangoo Jumps is a safe and effective cardio workout system consisting of specially designed boots that combine dance moves, running, and jumping I’m the only certified instructor in South Carolina. I’m proud of my that I was able to come out of my comfort zone and fight my fears and always keep learning and growing not only as an instructor but as a person. What sets me apart from others is that Kangoo Jumps is a new cardiovascular workout that is growing in the United States and is new to South Carolina.
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I do, that we can’t live in fear, that we have to trust the process that everything is going to be fine, and enjoy life more and the ones around us.
