IDEAfit Pro Show IDEA Health and Fitness Association

Today on the guest mic, we have the multi-talented Kia Williams--the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year--hosting Cary Williams. Cary is the founder and CEO of Boxing & Barbells, which is a boxing education company offering her B&B Method certifications to trainers and licensing opportunities to gyms. She certifies trainers around the globe to teach the B&B Method. 
Her entrepreneurial spark was lit 25 years ago when she founded PRIME TIME BOXING, INC. Cary, who competed in amateur boxing and is now a level 4 Olympic boxing coach, grew PRIME TIME to 4 boxing clubs in California and even began franchising in 2008. Since then, Cary has sold all of her clubs and now focuses solely on her boxing/fitness education company, B&B Method. This dynamic star has been featured across an array of broadcast media as well as print giants such as Shape, Men’s Fitness, USA Today and The New York Times.

Guest hosting the show once again, the passionate and talented Kia Williams, the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, interviews her long-time friend, colleague and fellow dance aficionado Ashley Carter.
Hailing from the great state of Texas, Lady Carter is a dancer, dance instructor, model, coach and creator of CweensGuard Step and Dance, a dance business that specializes in step, heels and hip hop. Ashley teaches classes to both children and adults with the beginner in mind. Her welcoming and inclusive philosophy emphasizes fun and aims to build confidence in new dancers. As she says, “I am not trying to turn you into a dancer, I am trying to build your confidence to dance.” She often refers to her classes as the scrimmage. They are designed so new dancers can mess up, learn, challenge themselves and build up their self-esteem in dance to feel the joy of movement. It really boils down to having fun!

Today on the guest mic, we have the fabulous Kia Williams, the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, hosting Tanci Maree, CEO and Founder of Turn Up DaFitness, a program designed to motivate people to get active and dance their way to fitness. 
 As Tanci describes it, the program mixes athleticism, dance, performance and—of course—fun! Tanci is the first to admit that it took her a while to find her groove after her college athletic career as a basketball player—and school—were over. But eventually, she defined a niche for herself and honed her mission, which is creating a space for women to celebrate, challenge each other and to Live Out Loud! 
 Listen in as Tanci describes her determination to shape a world-wide community of courageous women who want to shake up the world, turn it upside down, and show our fellow humans the difference between merely breathing and being alive! Wow! Are you ready?

We are once again lucky to have the multi-talented Kia Williams, the 2022 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, as guest host for the podcast! Today, Kia talks with Chris Stevenson and Steven Trotter, two big picture thinkers and leaders in the fitness industry.
