Tammie joined Tehama Family Fitness Center as a member in 2001. Like a lot of us, she wanted to drop a few pounds. She went to step class every day and loved it. Within a year she had earned her aerobic certification and was teaching her own classes. In 2001, she also had a stroke from a defective heart valve. After a year of recovery, she got back in to the facility and teaching her own classes again. Since then she has been certified in Cycling and Pilates. She also teaches circuit training, spin, and subs for water aerobics. Tammie and her husband Dan love to scuba dive, along with their two girls. They have been very fortunate to have traveled all over the world scuba diving. They also enjoy kayaking and playing paintball.
