PARSIPPANY — Catherine Grusovnik is the new manager of Atlantis Sports Club & Spa inside the Parsippany Sheraton Hotel.
She has been the Activities Director at the Appalachian Hotel where she instructed yoga and meditation classes and acted as a guide on hikes. She is also a group fitness instructor and a personal trainer. She assists each individual with their personal fitness goals while making it fun. Her extensive knowledge of personal training and nutrition helps individuals feel and look their best.
“My desire to be in the fitness industry has many facets that have come full circle. I was always around fitness as a child because my dad had the old, hard core style gym in our basement. He and his friends would work out often and eventually my dad began cycling. So I always had the idea of health and wellness around me. However, I didn’t find my passion until I was much older,” said Catherine.
She continued “Having gone through two spinal cord surgeries and overcoming being bed ridden for six weeks after the second one, I put on considerable weight and lost myself in food. Working an exceptionally stressful job and hitting my highest weight, I reached my breaking point and made some changes. I went to school to become a personal trainer. I believed that I as I journeyed through to a healthier life I could absolutely inspire others because I understand what it’s like to be stuck on the couch and look in the mirror and not like the reflection.”
“Since then I train clients, teach classes including boot camps, circuits, yoga and meditation. I have run multiple 5ks, 10ks, half marathons and triathlons. I am currently training for the Chicago Marathon this October. And I love talking about it to everyone and bringing them along my journey, struggles and all. Every step I run, I run in gratitude for the strength to overcome obstacles,” said Catherine.
