Lori Haffner - Water Exercise and Strength Training
I am an Instructor at the Clarinda Lied Center. I teach strength training, water exercise, and deep-water classes. I love the enthusiasm from all my ladies and gentlemen that comes to my classes. They all inspire me, and they are not afraid of a great physical workout. I love their smiles. I simply love helping others in hopes reaching their goals and to keep active and to have fun in the process.

The classes I teach are functional strength training, spin cycling, and yoga. My favorite is strength training with a little cardio kicked it. I also love to run, hike, and bike. I am a Certified Group Fitness Instructor through NESTA and a Certified Yoga Instructor through NETA. I almost always workout first thing in the morning to jump start my day.
Favorite Quote, "The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen."
