Hello my name is Gena B. I am a wife and mother of three kids. At my heaviest, I tipped the scales at 192 pounds and was a size 16. Through much prayer, diet and exercise my life was changed tremendously. I have competed in 3 figure competitions. Zumba has been a part of my life for three years.
I absolutely enjoy helping others reach their ultimate fitness goals. My classes are designed so that you can burn 500-800 calories while having the time of your life. If you can find time in your busy schedule come join the party. The Zumba party!

"Like most people, my life does not revolve around fitness - it is a priority, but not my only priority. I have a career and day-to-day responsibilities; what precious little time I have to contribute to fitness must be effective and fun. Until the ZUMBA® fitness program, I had not found a combination of the two.
It is FUN because it feels more like dancing than exercise - you're not just TONING and RESHAPING your body - you're learning how to move in ways that your significant other will appreciate;-)
If you like to dance, you'll LOVE ZUMBA fitness classes!" zumbawithjennyk.com

I have been interested in health and fitness my entire life. I played sports in school and was determined to remain active as well as maintain a healthy body weight. I taught aerobics for a while in my twenties, but always remained active as well as enjoying encouraging others around me to become healthy and fit.
I believe that exercise is one of the best things you can do to look and feel young, to have more energy, to combat age related illnesses and conditions, as well as enhance your quality of life overall.
I have been wanted to get back into the health and fitness field and recently I discovered Zumba, while vacationing in Jamaica. I heard the music while doing cardio in the workout room and I followed it. A Zumba class was going on outside so I joined in. It was only 20 minutes left, but I got a great workout! I joined them for the next four mornings and I was hooked. I got home and within 2 weeks they were offering Zumba classes at my gym. I went to every class. I soon looked into Instructor training and am loving every minute of it. I’m passionate about and fitness, and enjoy helping others reach their goals of better health.
If you are looking for a FUN way to get a great cardio burn, (up to 1,000 calories an hour) as well as a total body workout, I highly recommend Zumba!
Joyce has also been a distributor of natural health and herbal products since 1998.

I have been teaching ZUMBA since June 2010. My classes are packed with energy and we have a fun time and before you know it....class is over and we are doing a cool down:). Why not ditch the workout and join in a ZUMBA Party!
My goal is to help you reach your desired weight. I started doing Zumba in February and fell in love with it. I was overweight due to the birth of my 5 year old and wanted to lose the weight and feel wonderful. I recommend Zumba to anyone who desires to love weight and have fun at the same time.
I am married with 3 beautiful daughters and 2 wonderful grandchildren.

Shaunette Byers
I was a size 26/28 when I was diagnosed with Cancer. I declared the day they wheeled me into the operating room "as the beginning of the rest of my life". As a result I made a commitment to exercise and change my eating habits. Within the 1st two months of my "lifestyle" change I got rid of 30lbs (as opposed to the common term "lost"- believe me I was not trying to find those lbs).
Now more than 2 years later I am close to 100 lbs lighter, 75 inches smaller and now wear a 12/14. I know honestly if it was not for the Cancer scare i might not have ever changed my lifestyle. Now, I plan to use my God given gifts and talents to not only improve my life but to also affect positive change in others.
My message to everyone is not to wait for a potentially fatal disease to motivate you to do something. Look within yourself and the world around you to find things most important to you. Let these things help motivate you to make that "Lifestyle" change. "you only get one body, it is time to treat is like the temple it is"
