Introducing Christy Nash

Meet Christy Nash!  She is married to Greg Nash, a Financial Advisor at Edward Jones, and together they have three wonderful children: Foster, Cooper and Felicity (a future Jazzercise Instructor). Christy's hobbies include spending time with her family, Health Coaching, decorating, and shopping at the Peddlers Mall.

Christy graduated from Purdue University (Boiler Up!) with a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D). She founded and directed the Mathes Diabetes Center, became a Clinical Assistant Professor at Purdue University, and then became a Certified Health Coach, guiding others in learning how to live a longer, healthier life. Christy is a firm believer in preventative health and teaches monthly classes on the Habits of Health (examples: healthy eating, movement/exercise, healthy sleep, stress management and healthy relationships), a system created by Christy's mentor, Dr Andersen.

Christy began Jazzercising in 2010. She decided to become an instructor in August of 2011, when Christy said that Janet Kreutner attacked convinced her that it would be simple, fun and help Christy improve her health. Christy became Certified in the fall of 2011.

When asked about the effect that Jazzercise has had on her life, Christy said that it has improved her overall health, her feelings of wellbeing and her happiness. She loves spending time dancing with her friends and creating lasting friendships in which she can share motivation and encouragement. She said that not only has Jazzercise touched her own life, but her family as well. She loves that her children see her exercise and she is able to instill in them the love of being healthy.
