Gin Miller Guest Teaches at Froggy's
Best known as the creator of step training and star
of over 40 fitness videos, including the best selling Step Reebok
series, Gin Miller recently surprised members at Froggy's,
teaching Mary's step and strength classes.
Gin, who was in town on business, is a regular contributor
to Cooking Light magazine, and internationally known as
a premiere fitness presenter and innovator.
Photos were taken for an upcoming interview article
for IDEA magazine (International Dance and Exercise Association)
for their anniversary issue in the spring, recognizing top
fitness professionals. As one of their "instructors of the year"
and an inductee into the National Fitness Hall of Fame,
Gin is widely recognized as one of the all time legends in fitness.

In addition to the development of step training,
Gin, as a Reebok Master Trainer, was also a pioneer in what
is now referred to as "functional strength". Before the term
became the buzz word in fitness, Gin worked with Reebok to
develop the "Final Cuts" program and RNT - reactive neuromuscular
training. Sometimes referred to as "four limb" training, this
integrated approach in strength combines
movements of the upper and lower body performed over a strong
and stable core. |

None were as
thrilled with the experience as former instructor Luvie (pictured

workshops with hundreds of other instructors at past conventions.

Step Classes - included with membership
You won't find any better step classes anywhere in the Keys. These
classes are taught by the industry's standard - 32 count combinations,
expertly built, broken down and cued and appropriated specifically
to the participants' level. No two classes are exactly the same,
so if repetitive cardio bores you, delight in the quick passing of
your workout as you move with the music.
Interval - included with membership
Short on time or stuck on a plateau? Try the interval cardio class
to jump start your metabolism, increase your level of fitness, and
burn tons of fat... it's a shorter amount of class time, but
your body will continue to burn fat post workout.

of yoga and Pilates on Thursdays.
The evening schedule offers a yoga/pilates class
with Rhonda. On Mondays, Jeff teaches a power-type yoga class.

Taught by professional
bellydancer and seasoned pro instructor, "Diana", Bellydancing
is a great class to learn a new activity, develop your core, increase

Our Group Fitness Instructors
Mary Griffin
|
Mary started teaching classes at Froggy's
when we first opened, thanks in large part to our floating wood
floor. Now a veteran instructor, Mary has years of teaching experience
and specializes in step, stability ball and functional strength.
Mary, who grew up here in the Keys, returned home
several years ago after living in the
Atlanta area and Georgia since 1974. She became ACE certified and
started teaching in 1988, right as the step revolution was taking
place, and in 1993 started working for Gin Miller, the creator of
step training.
While in the northwest Atlanta area, Mary taught classes at Sportslife/Crunch
and several other clubs, both large and small. Her skills as an
instructor allow her to apply just about any format - from true
interval training, circuit, complex choreography, high/low impact
and even hip hop/funk - all depending on the desires of the class
attendees.
Mary's signature step class, Zig Zag Step (double step),
has been written up in Fitness
magazine as one of the best new uses of the step - and it's still
being taught in Atlanta at Bally's (formerly Crunch).
Mary continues to work for Gin
Miller Fitness as Gin's webmaster, and also serves as webmaster
for other fitness related sites and several local sites.
