Gina Peterson's love of physical activity began at four-years-old when she first began taking martial arts classes. Prior to completing her physical therapy education, she worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, teaching classes on dance, circus arts and kickboxing. Gina loves traveling, cooking, and occasionally showing off her dancing skills in local shows. She is a dedicated Corgi mom, and can often be found hiking and running with her fur baby, Asher.
