Bio Coming Soon


Le Doggett Tae Bo Instructor

As a former high school teacher and cheerleading coach who resigned to raise her two children Le Doggett truly missed the experience of motivating and encouraging people to achievement.

In November, 2005 she was blessed with the opportunity to go to California and train with Billy Blanks in a Tae Bo® instructor certification boot camp. Instructors were selected from the group based on a written test, physical fitness, and technique in execution of the Tae Bo® steps with a sincere desire to help others achieve weight loss, strength training and cardiovascular fitness goals Tae Bo® is a program that combines the best variety of different exercise disciplines to provide an overall workout. Tae Bo® is the combination of self-awareness and the control of martial arts, the focus and strength of boxing, and the grace and rhythm of dance.

Martial arts and boxing develop strength, speed, balance, coordination and awareness. The dance moves give the workout energy and rhythm that improves coordination and body awareness and provides a workout for the heart.

Try it once and you will be hooked!
