When one of our own does something special, it makes us really proud. This is especially true when that special thing is the result of considerable effort and improvement. A few years ago, ZATZ co-founder Denise Amrich decided that improving her health and fitness would become one of her life’s priorities. Since then, not only has she worked on her own fitness, she also inspired ZATZ co-founder David Gewirtz to take up weight training and other athletic activities (and, to his complete surprise, he found doing something other than sitting at a keyboard doesn’t suck). Continuing her path towards self-improvement, we’re extremely proud to announce that our very own Denise has just become both a Certified Yoga Instructor and a Certified Personal Trainer. We’ve always thought Denise was certifiable and now we have the evidence to prove it. You go, girl!
