After living in 3 different cities I could not find a fitness group that kept me enthused. Upon moving to Michigan, I learned of Fitness Motivators through the Costick Center and began taking Cardio Boxing. I loved the 3 women teaching the class - Debbie, Laura and Sonia. The classes were different every single class. These women laughed together and had a great time teaching together. Anyone could tell that these women were not just instructors but very close friends. I loved the class so much I spoke highly of the instructors to everyone. I even tried another class at another location and after my paid session I never returned (all the while, I continued the kickboxing class while attending the competitor course).

 

I decided that I wanted to do what these ladies were doing because they had fun! In 2007, I approached them and told them of my interest and commitment to do whatever it took to join their team. I have a background in Tae Kwon Do (over 13 years of experience) and I knew my kickboxing skills would be a great addition to the team. I began learning and studying the Fitness Motivators concepts of teaching and practicing and once I was ready, I began student instructing in 2008.

 

Since then I have become an AFAA Certified Group Exercise Instructor, a Fit Tour Certified Group Exercise Instructor, a Zumba Certified Instructor, and a Z-Box Certified Instructor.

 

I recently relocated to Rochester, NY to be with my husband. I continue my role as a business analyst with Nestle Purina and serve as the Director of Academic Excellence for my sorority, Sigma Lambda Upsilon. Additionally, I have a found new fitness opportunities. I will be performing Z-Box Fitness and Zumba demonstrations at the Puerto Rican Festival Health Fair on July 3a and I begin instructing Kickboxing in July at the Downtown Fitness Club. I will be pushing to add Z-Box to the Class Menu in the fall. In the mean time, I hold Zumba and Z-Box classes in my garage to anyone who cares to join me on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays!

 

I love to travel overseas and I enjoy dancing, grooving to music, and creating routines."
