Sherri Clark

Get To Know Me: Hello! I’m Sherri & I am so excited to be part of the Snap Fitness Team. I’m from Lansing (SouthSide!) & I’m currently taking classes at Northwood University & will graduate May 2012. I have a son that is in fourth grade, a daughter that is in first grade & a boyfriend that is 10 years younger than me. (For real)

What I Like: I’m a Rapper & a Rocker (Lil Wayne, Eminem, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Disturbed, Tool, Godsmack, Korn) I love to go to concerts (I’ve seen all the groups listed) I also love pizza, popcorn, any buffet & diet coke. I often go for bike rides, go to the movies & go bowling with my kids. My whole life I have been a Michigan State fan, & go to any game I can!! (I taught my kids the MSU fight song before I taught them their ABC’s…also for real!)

My Fitness Story: After having my kids I didn’t feel good being overweight so I joined a gym & worked off 80lbs. I became certified to teach so I could lead a great workout with my friends & have as much fun as possible getting in shape. I teach Spin, Bootcamp, All-Abs & a Kids Fitness Class. And now….Spartan F.I.T. (FullBody, Interval, Training)…..come workout with me…I can’t wait to meet you!!
