Mary-Ruth has been active throughout her life, a loving mother, devoted teacher and a dancer. Following her busy lifestyle, she started with yoga and continued dance, and eventually her daughter and son-in-law referred her to join the Aqua classes at Brick Bodies Padonia. After one class, Mary-Ruth knew she had found her place and continued to come back, originally attending 3 classes a week.

I enjoy the exercise; I really enjoy what we do. I feel like I’ve accomplished something that day and I get to be social with a great group of friends. I have been very fortunate, and I have met some wonderful people here. You can guarantee to meet great people at Brick Bodies. I wish I had started sooner, but I didn’t want to get my hair wet!”-Mary-Ruth Elseroad

I am writing this in the snatches of time that I can steal in-between babysitting our grandkids (a one-year-old and his four-year-old sister) and trying to run our business.
