About Us
Deb Calderara
I always thought I was healthy, I exercised on a regularly basis and was careful of the foods I took in. At the age of 50 I decided to take up running, my first goal was a 5k which progressed to a half marathon, now I have a goal to run a half marathon in every state. I have also completed two marathons and three triathlons.Three years ago, my knee started to give me trouble and I really wanted to work on strengthening my core. A friend encouraged me to check out a spin class or other classes at Cutting Edge Fitness. I reluctantly went, I don’t like going to gyms. Fast forward, it has been three years since I first stepped into Cutting Edge Fitness, I started out twice per week and gradually moved to five days per week taking various classes they have to offer. Attending Cutting Edge Fitness is one of the best decisions I have made to improve my overall health, Aimee, David and the staff encourages me to do my best, provide helpful strategies to meet my goals. I am so inspired by the people who work at Cutting Edge Fitness I decided to earn my spin certification. I am grateful to my friend who suggested Cutting Edge Fitness.
