Dolores was encouraged to become a certified personal fitness trainer after surgery to replace a torn ACL and repair a torn meniscus and while undertaking her own rehabilitation. Dolores took that advice and received her personal trainer certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and then became certified in 24-hour indoor cycling and Schwinn cycling. Dolores is passionate about exercise and leading classes in which she can share that passion and inspire others to aim higher and achieve more than they thought was possible. Dolores suggests, “Measure your success not by where you stand in moments of comfort, but where you stand in moments of discomfort. Step away from your shadow and into your light; emerge stronger, braver, and faster.”
