Stumbled across this Stephanie Huckabee video

Idk if this is weird to share since it’s about her “real life” but it is public on YouTube. Maybe I’ll delete it in a few days. But I thought it was interesting to see where this Firm instructor is now.

That's a plot twist I didn't see coming. It's interesting where people's career path can take them.

She's been a teacher for a long time. Most of the FIRM instructors had real life jobs outside of teaching.

I remember Stephanie was an English teacher and the commute to Emily's studio was too far for her. I hadn't heard that she became a principal.

I had seen this awhile ago.

I'd agree that for most people, being a fitness instructor is a side gig. I was surprised when i was in Montreal for Essentrics training and found out what a lot of these instructors do as their main gig.

That was fun to watch! And I don’t think it’s weird to share it here. “Where are they now” is a common question about our instructors!

Thanks. I was excited to see what an “old favorite” was up to now, especially since my degree is in education. But then when I started to post, I felt a little stalkerish, haha.

That was fun to watch, thanks for posting! I have to admit I cringed when she said Totino's pizza though! For many years we bought those as a just-in-case backup kind of thing and now neither of us can bear to eat them. I don't know if they changed them or what but not for us anymore.

I'm glad when it is a side gig because it doesn't pay well, unfortunately, especially if you have a family to support.

There's only just a few of the video instructors, male or female, who can do it full time.
