Producer and instructor of award-winning Gentle Fitness, Catherine MacRae is a wonderful teacher.

A Minnesota woman wrote, "Your directions are clear and so empowering, you've eliminated the difficulty with motivation! Your video is like a gift from heaven."

For more than 30 years, Ms. MacRae has been a teacher of:

~ 2nd grade
~ Special Ed (all ages)
~ Land-aerobics
~ Water-aerobics
~ Swim lessons for tens-of-thousands of infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and adults..

Her all-time special love is teaching swimming to adult beginners - and to those amazing pre-schoolers! And also of course, teaching those great water exercise classes!

Catherine has Multiple Sclerosis. So she really knows how hard it can be to stay productive in the face of declining health, too little energy, and fading confidence!

Becky Lang, RDH, MA, an advisor to Gentle Fitness wrote: "Catherine personally knows how hard it is to get out to an exercise class at a pool or gym. It is her mission to get Gentle Fitness into the homes of people who so desperately need it. In addition to her perseverance and spirit, she is a woman committed to excellence in the way she teaches. She truly is an inspiration to all who know her."

Catherine says, "Where there is movement - enjoyable, feel good, safe movement - people REALLY DO feel better!" Her Gentle Fitness meets those standards.
