Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
Pi-Yo Play helps to make fitness fun for busy moms. Pi-Yo Play provides personal training and fitnees classes in the CA bay area. Currently, we are busy building our Mommy & Baby Pi-Yo Play classes. The classes are for new moms with babies six weeks old to crawling. Moms move from Pilates to yoga exercises while singing, bonding, and playing with their baby. Christy, the founder of Pi-Yo Play, just finished writing her Mommy & Baby Pi-Yo Play proposal and is currently looking for an agent. She hopes you will soon see her book at your local Barnes & Noble, and she looks forward to spreading the unique Pi-Yo Play program to new moms througout the country.
Christy believes she should be considered as a winner for the Leading Moms in Business Competition because she represents what a mom can accomplish when she follows her dreams and passion while only working part-time. In under two years, Christy has managed to start her own business, launch a professional website, design a unique program that combines Pilates and Yoga while singing with baby, personal trains clients weekly, teaches two Pilates classes weekly, presents multiple workshops monthly, launched four Mommy & Baby Pi-Yo Play classes, received the United States certificate of registration trademark for Pi-Yo Play, and wrote a book proposal. Christy is currently working on building her platform, preparing for her upcoming Mommy & Baby Pi-Yo Play Teacher Training program, and waiting to hear back from agents on her book proposal. She is also pregnant with her second child, due in early July.
