My name is Annette Murphy, and I live in Houston, Texas. I am married to my best friend, Daniel Murphy, and we have been married for over 5 years. I am a dentist and have been practicing dentistry for 15 years. I am a part of Rayford Dental, a family dental practice located in Spring (which is a suburb near Houston). I graduated from the University of Texas- Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSC), Dental Branch in 1994. After practicing dentistry for several years, I decided to gain more education and experience by pursuing a residency program. In 2004, I completed a residency and received a master’s degree in dental public health.

As I became interested in the field of public health, my attitude toward health changed as well. I became a health food freak & a fitness fanatic. I had tried many fad diets in the past, but nothing ever worked. I went through cycles of losing weight quickly, then putting the pounds back on & even more than what I actually lost. It was a vicious cycle and I knew I had to do something different! So my husband & I made a complete lifestyle change. We started cooking more at home and eating out less. We cut down the fat intake and integrated more fruits, vegetables and whole grains into our diet. Watching the Food Network, which is one of our favorite channels, has given us great ideas for healthier recipes.

I also joined 24 Hour Fitness and began Turbo Kick, 24 Grooves, Step Jam and Strength Training. Who knew that working out could be so fun! And I’ve been hooked on group X exercise ever since then. In 2004, I began instructor training with 24 Hour Fitness and have attended several training courses. This year, I started Hip Hop Hustle instructor training. This class is my favorite so far! I am amazed at what a great workout hip hop can be. You can burn calories and have a great time, all at once!

Since March of 2009, I started working out with a personal trainer. I am scheduled with him 2 to 3 times a week, then I work out on my own 2 days a week. He has taught me to have discipline with my workouts and to focus on my eating habits. I now fuel my body with 5 to 6 small meals a day and supplements to supply energy during my workouts. I have experienced great changes in how I feel about myself, and I look better physically than I ever have before.

I have learned to surround myself with positive people and support groups. My plan is to make fitness fun and enjoyable. So I would love for you to join our team, and I would like to help you reach your goals. Let’s begin the road to success and create an all-star fitness journey!
