ACE: Personal Trainer
FAI: Functional Aging Specialist
Certified Tai Chi Instructor
Sixteen years ago, one of Rickye’s best friends was concerned about the high stress job she had and suggested she seek out a personal trainer for her mental and physical health. That is when Rickye met Rosa Coletto and she believes she truly changed her life for the better! Rosa’s encouraging demeanor is what originally drew Rickye to her, but that is not to say she didn’t appropriately challenge and progress her workouts. In addition to helping with stress levels, Rickye has felt better in her 50’s, 60’s and now 70’s than she did in her 40’s!
After a 47-year career in retail Rickye decided to retire at 65 and look for a part-time “fun” job. Liz Clapp (Rosa’s Mom) suggested Rickye get her training certification and work for Rosa. With encouragement from family and all her friends at the gym, Rickye studied and received her personal training certification in 2018. What sold her on pursuing this path is that she believed passionately in what Rosa does and the positive impact she has had on people's lives.
Rickye was thrilled at 65 to start her second career working with people and doing work to redefine what people believe is possible as they age!
