CORY NIX

Group exercise instructor

Cory Nix has loved fitness since she was a kid in her living room with her mom doing Jane Fonda workout videos! Her grandma was a tap dance teacher which is where Cory’s love of dance comes from. She also loves swimming and swam competitively in college.

She became a group fitness instructor when she was 16 years old when the Aqua Aerobics instructor didn’t show. She had to step in and fill her shoes to make sure the patrons got a workout. From that moment on, Cory knew she loved to teach and lead group fitness.

Over the years, she has taught many different fitness formats but her favorites are clearly Zumba and strength conditioning. Cory also teaches her own version of Dance Fitness called CORYography.
