My name is Carly Farcy and am excited to have the opportunity to service the members of the Wyndemere community.  I have lived in Naples since childhood and have instructed fitness here for seven years.  Fitness instruction was the impetus for my return to school for my post bachelor’s education, as I am now in a R.N degree program with the eventual goal of attaining my doctorate.  I
find the human body’s anatomy and physiology fascinating; the knowledge of which drives the development of my classes’ choreography and structure.  My zest for attaining a better quality of life through fitness is certainly evident in all of the classes I teach.  I am an AFAA certified: personal trainer, group fitness, kickboxing, and yoga instructor, as well as a Johnny G spinning instructor.  I also have the A.H.A. CPR/AED certification and will soon have the advanced health care CPR/AED certification from the same
institution.
