Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Beth Patzkowsky. I am a special education teacher in Paw Paw. I have two daughters (12 yrs and 9 yrs) and two crazy Jack Russell Terriers. I am a certified group fitness instructor, but not currently teaching classes. I love to read and spend time with my family at the beach.
What is your usual weekly workout routine?
I try to get to three group fitness classes per week (I frequently only make two :-( ). I walk my dogs and use the treadmill at home.
What are your go-to snacks and meals?
I love celery and peanut butter for a snack, but my kids prefer apple slices with PB! We eat chicken probably three nights a week. I have found many different ways to marinate chicken and then bake for 1 hour and it’s ready to go!
How do you balance being active with the demands of your daily life?
I am not very good at balancing working out and daily life. If a friend wants to go to the beach, swim, or anything fun, I tend to grab the kids and go (missing that workout I promised myself).
What is a fitness or healthy living goal you have for yourself?
I would love to run a 5K someday. I have used the app “Couch to 5K” (I’m on my second time around) but I only hit 2.5 miles at the end and can’t seem to push myself that extra .6 mile. I need to find a running buddy to keep me going!
What do you like about being a member at SWAT?
I love the group fitness classes! I am inspired by the fitness level of every instructor! I would love to be as strong as they are! I know time and commitment are the key - I’m working on it!
What is your favorite class at SWAT? Why?
I love the Body Attack/Pump Combo on Sundays! I love the aerobic half - it makes time fly. I hate the Pump half, but it is because it is a struggle for me. I have worked out at gyms taking group fitness since college, but I have never been a weights person, so I have never been strong.
