Hi there! I have been on staff at Body Language since 1997 and I hear I am famous for teaching classes where a workout and entertainment are all rolled into one class! With over 28 years of teaching experience in group fitness I hold certifications from A.C.E. and A.F.A.A. for Group Exercise Instruction, ZUMBA® Basic, ZUMBA® Basic 2, ZUMBA® GOLD and ZumbAtomic (Zumba for kids). I am a Master Trainer and the Master Trainer Director for the hottest new workout formula “ R.I.P.P.E.D.™ The One Stop Body Shock”.  As a Master Trainer I travel throughout the Midwest region and train instructors to teach the R.I.P.P.E.D. format.  As the Director I train all new incoming Master Trainers and prepare them for their teaching positions.  I also work as the liaison between the R.I.P.P.E.D. Corporate office and the 20 Master Trainers nationwide.   I am a certified nutritionist through Venice Nutrition and love to share my passion for eating healthy.  My enthusiasm and passion for fitness shows no boundaries. I guarantee a high energy workout in any class I teach.  I would love to have you join me!

My passion for fitness began at an early age watching my parents lead an active lifestyle. I was a soccer player throughout my life and then began taking classes at body language. This is where I was inspired to become an instructor. While finishing my Bachelors in business, I became a certified fitness instructor as well as a certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist through NASM. I am blessed to be able to help so many clients achieve their goals. I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children, running half marathons and being outdoors.

Hi! I am a graduate of Wayne State University where I was an Academic
All-American swimmer and earned a B.A. in French and have been teaching middle
and high school French, Spanish and English for over 18 years. In addition, I
teach tennis and coach bowling. More importantly, I have been a certified
personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 1995 and have taught at
Wayne State University as well as several fitness studios around the Metro
Detroit area. I recently began teaching fitness classes again after a 3 year
break. I’m so happy and fortunate to be teaching again. My interests include
helping others, traveling, and learning. See you in class!

Several Years of experience teaching fitness classes, personal training and wellness advising. Bachelor of Exercise Science, Wellness & Health Promotion from Oakland University. On a more serious note I expect my students to sweat, workout like it’s their last and NOT drop their quarter!

Hi! I'm Deb Behnke.  I started teaching at the orignal Body Language in 1979. I am blessed with 3 beautiful grandchildren. Any extra time I have, other than working at the Detroit Gun Club, I like to spend it with my family. I love teaching aerobics-I love the people and the time it allows us to spend on ourselves making us better people. Working out to me isn't a job - It's a passion!

Hi friends! I’ve been teaching group fitness classes for over 25 years. I hold certifications in TurboKick, Piyo, Ripped, Schwinn indoor cycling, Z-Box, Zumba and yoga. I also teach Tabata and strength training. I love to workout and I look forward to having you in class. When I’m not here teaching a class you can find me teaching at Waterford Kettering high school. My other passions are gardening, traveling and of course hanging out with my beloved dogs (Hucky and Toby). Rock on peeps!

I began teaching group fitness classes during my college years. It was a perfect transition from school-related sports to an active adult lifestyle. I remain passionate about group classes because a healthy lifestyle requires consistent exercise and motivation can be tough to maintain. In a group, we find community, connection, encouragement, support, shared energy, variety, and FUN. We build friendships that fuel our motivation to return. It’s a formula that WORKS and I strive to honor it always by providing quality, challenging classes that bring results.

In addition to group fitness, I hold a Martial Arts Black Belt, RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, and enjoyed teaching line dancing & art classes for many years.

 

I love the fact that life has led me down this road of wellness and enabled me to touch so many students' lives. I am truly passionate about offering a fitness, yoga and nutrition program that allows every student to look and feel his/her best. I am SO grateful to be surrounded by an awesome staff who share my passion and a wonderful family who have supported me every step along the way. The training that I received in order to be able to effectively share my passions include my degree from MSU as a Registered Dietitian, A.C.E Fitness, and Yoga Alliance Certification as well as over 20 years of teaching experience. I look forward to having YOU in class!!
