Bari started teaching Group Fitness, swim lessons and youth tennis in 1988 while attending University of Arizona. In 1996, she decided to focus her energy on Aquatics and Group Fitness at Columbia Athletic Clubs, and let go of teaching vocational classes at Lynnwood High School.

Bari has been fortunate at CAC to be involved in many areas of the club including Aquatics Coordinator, Program Director, Fitness Trainer, Group ex Instructor and now the Group Ex Director position. She enjoys taking on new challenges and working hard building a healthy environment for our CAC staff and members. According to Bari, “The best feeling is working out with others while creating a positive outlet, learning new things, but most of all Having Fun!”

Bari and her husband enjoy traveling to visit their 3 kids (who live in 3 different states), love camping with good friends, mountain biking, boating, wakeboarding and skiing during the winter months, staying active and having fun!
