Patti Chamberlain	From Patti: Hi, Iâ€™m Patti Chamberlain and I have been a member of the West Y for 19 years. I fell in love with group fitness classes as a teenager when a small gym opened near my home in rural Southern Oregon. Ever since joining that gym, fitness has been a very important part of my life. I find that when I make time for my workouts, I feel much better and have the energy I need to accomplish tough tasks throughout the day. I also love running, biking, hiking, and just about anything that takes me outdoors. Over the years I have been inspired by many great instructors here at the Y. Because of their example, I decided to become an instructor myself so that I might inspire others to be physically active, feel better, and live a healthier lifestyle. I am certified to teach both Cardio Step Together and Core Focus. I love these classes because they are not only physically challenging, but they are so much fun! I also have my real estate license and a bachelorâ€™s degree in Fashion Merchandising from Brigham Young University. I have raised four beautiful children and now am a proud grandma. Life is good!
