I have been an instructor since November 2012. At first, I started teaching Zumba and through the years obtain my certifications to teach Zumba toning, RIPPED, Insanity, PiYo, and Strong by Zumba. I absolutely love Fitness and motivating others to get fit for life! Fitness is important to me because I want to be there for my family, especially to watch my son mature into a wonderful young man with a family of his own. Through fitness, I feel younger, healthier, stronger, and energetic, and the quality of my life has improved immensely! I'm confident, that fitness will do the same for you! Trust me, I have not always felt this way about fitness. All my life I have always struggled in maintaining my weight and after the birth of my son, I was at my heaviest weight of 160 lbs. I was in a state of depression and decided to do something about it. After 3 months of grueling workouts and counting calories, I finally lost 40 lbs! As of today, I’m still working out and tracking my meals! Losing weight was one of the hardest things I have accomplished in my life. It takes hard work and dedication to reach our ideal goal. It took months or maybe years to gain the weight. It's going to take some time to lose weight too. Likes:
I love running races but my craze is the mud runs with tons of obstacles! I always love a challenge, and getting dirty is also fun! I'm a big sushi fan and a movie buff! I love pretty much any movie from horror, and comedy, to thriller/action. I'm a huge animal lover, coupon diva, busy mom and wife, DIY enthusiast, dessert lover, and avid learner of all topics! However, my favorite passion is spending time with my family and friends! Dislikes:
I can't stand doing yard work or cleaning the bathroom (unfortunately it got to be done)! I dislike bugs of any kind. Also, sitting traffic is the worst, especially coming from Norfolk to the peninsula during rush hours! If you haven’t tried any of my classes, feel free to drop by any time! All movements are modified for your fitness needs. Remember, be patient with yourself. It will take time and dedication to get back into a healthy lifestyle! I’m here for you to help motivate you and provide guidance through your fitness journey! Through consistency, you will reach your fitness goal! Certified in:
