IDEA Member Spotlight
Meet Some Outstanding Members!

Michal “Miki” Ann Coulter-Rudd Jackie Camborde
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Member Since 1995

Studio owner, group fitness instructor, master trainer, presenter and mom, Jackie Camborde prides herself on having been there for her students through hardship. “My studio is made up of women who are 50+,” says Jackie. “I have helped many of my members through cancer, fybromyalgia, the death of a spouse and other life-altering experiences. Many have said that my classes are the one thing that helped them through their difficult times.” Jackie also lends her time to inspiring her colleagues as a teacher-trainer and seeks to “make the group exercise room the safest, smartest and most exciting place to be in the gym.”


Kim Miller Alan Mickel A. Gerardo
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Member Since 2006


“For me, health is wealth no amount of money can buy,” says fitness professional Alan Mickel Gerardo. “We have only one chance to live in this world, so [let’s] make the most of it.” Alan is goal-oriented and strives to help each of his clients succeed. “I have one client from the Philippines (where I used to work) who enrolled in personal training because she wanted to lose weight to get pregnant. She lost 40 pounds in 3 months, and I even trained her to join me in the International Dragon Boat competition, where we won a gold, a silver and a bronze medal.” Before leaving the Philippines last October, Alan received word that his client had achieved her goal and was expecting a child.
