How you got started with CATZ: My 10-year old son attended CATZ as part of his tackle football training/practices. I watched and was completely certain even one class would all but kill me. But I tried it anyway. Survived it. Signed up for the CATZ 8-week Fitness Challenge. And now – 20 weeks and almost 60 pounds later - I’m addicted!! Completely. I love every butt-kicking, sweat-dripping, muscle-fatiguing minute of every class (especially the ones that last extra long), and can’t imagine CATZ not being a part of my day.....The team environment is what really makes the difference. I like going to the gym, but I LOVE going to CATZ. The coaches and adult athletes are GREAT, and the challenge, responsibility and accountability of not only keeping up with, but also motivating the other folks is real inspiration. In every class I can see where I was and where I want to be and I know the job is mine to get there...What keeps me coming back is: It’s fun. Every day is different and challenging. The people are tremendous. BClark’s singing....CATZ has shown me that everyone has an “inner athlete”… no matter his or her age or fitness level. If I can do it …TRUST ME … anyone can!

Getting to know Amy Romano:

Most memorable moment.
MOST FAVORITE/LEAST FAVORITE CATZ EXERCISE?...
Most favorite: Med ball sit-ups. Lawn mowers. Stability ball bench press. Ladders and/or hurdles in the warm-up. Med ball toss....Least favorite: Broad jumps. Anything with those stupid rubber bands. Skips of any kind. Burpees!(Seriously...Why?)

Specific academic goals or career choices in mind?
Continue to grow my Public Relations, Brand and Marketing Communications business. Maybe even expand my client base to include a Competitive Athlete Training center … I mean Zone!

Who is the most influential person/people in your life?
Has to be my children. Everything I do has an impact on them, and knowing that has an impact on everything I do.
