DANISE NEWTON
I'm certified in Zumba and have been teaching for 1 year. I am a full time Zumba substitute at Fit Time. I love it and it's my favorite type of excercise, but I try to work in other types as well.
MEET THE STAFF
I am the owner of Fit-Time for Women. I am married to John; have one son, Michael; eight cats who live inside with us and two more who visit and eat outside on a regular basis. I am retired from State government since 1999 where I was an Assistant Director in a Financial Management Division and worked primarily on budget and grant issues. I have been an owner of Fit-Time since 2000 and the sole owner since 2006. My favorite word and challenge in life is to "BE INTENTIONAL". I believe the application of intent to faith and to exercise are the most important things we must do for better life with better health. My mission at Fit-Time is to provide the best possible circumstance to help women be the very best they can be.

My name is Terry Wilson (Diana's sister). I've been married for 30 years, have one son, two dogs, and live here in Frankfort. Originally, I am from Midway. I retired from State Government 10 years ago. I've been teaching aeorobics for nearly 25 years and have been at FiT-Time since they opened the doors. I have certifications with AFAA, YogaFit and the Arthritis Foundation. My passion and most rewarding classes are the 12:10 Senior Classes. I feel like those ladies are my family and we all take care of each other. I love to work out and I love to teach . . . exercise has gotten me through some tough stressful times.
JAIME RICE
I am an AFAA certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor as well as a Yoga Fit instructor. I have been in the health and wellness field since 1994. My hope continues to be that the people I teach and/or train are encouraged to make choices toward healthier lives. Every woman is uniquely beautiful and should not feel pressured to look like an air brushed magazine photo. We are real people with real lives.

CHERYL GAYHART
Cheryl is the "web-site guru" for FiT-Time for Women, or at least tries to be! I am blessed that Diana offered me this opportunity because it challenged me . . . . and I really enjoy it. I have lived in Frankfort all my life, have two children (Kylie, 26 and Alex, 21), and live with my dog, Scrappie. I am the Administrative Assistant at First Christian Church and love my job, co-workers and the people I am blessed to serve.
I am one of the Licensed Massage Therapists at Fit-Time. I have worked for Diana and Fit-Time since 2007 when I moved to Frankfort and love working here. I also work full-time at LRC as a Legislative Secretary, so please forgive me if my schedule is a little crazy during session! I grew up in Hamilton, OH and went to the Cincinnati School of Medical Massage. I have a Massage License for Ohio and Kentucky as well as my National Certification for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork. I’m also certified to do pregnancy massage and just finished training for massage with cancer and the elderly and ill. I decided to get into Massage Therapy to help people feel better and that is my main goal when I’m working with a client. It absolutely makes my day when someone walks out feeling better than when they came in.
