people to live more functionally and more confidently in their bodies and their world
via movement. Cindy has personal experience and has witnessed others build strength,
stamina, enhance self-esteem, increase mental & emotional well-being, and discover

- Beth Ripperger, AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor
As the Harper Wellness Manager by day and fitness instructor by night, Beth takes
a holistic approach to fitness and overall well-being by the integration of the 8
dimensions of wellness (Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Physical,
Social and Occupational) into everyday living. Beth focuses on the importance of functional
movements to help individuals optimize their overall well-being. Moreover, Beth recognizes
the importance of celebrating body diversity as it relates to physical wellness as
everyone’s needs, goals and body types are going to be different. The important part
of fitness and physical activity is in finding activities and movements that an individual
enjoys and are going to make the person most successful in leading a healthier and
more functional lifestyle.
