Congratulations to our April Fitness Instructor of the Month, Melissa Martinez

I am sinceramente grateful to have had the opportunity to dance with students of all ages, fitness levels and from all walks of life!

My journey began about 19 years ago when I was invited to a fitness dance class and the rest is history--19 years of sheer enjoyment for the ability to move and support students in their journey. As a fitness instructor I have had the pleasure of sweating, dancing and creating community with hundreds of students. I even had the honor of teaching in Russia at the WORLD CUP!

I would like to share a few quotes that have provided insight as I instructed fitness classes in community centers, churches, University Gyms, fundraisers, elementary schools, high schools, public events, community non-profit events and franchised gyms:

• Workout from a place of loving your body, not from a place of hating it. ~Unkown
• Movement is medicine. ~Unkown
• Fitness is not about being thin, it's about being healthy. ~Unknown

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope to see you in one of my Zumba classes on Mondays at 7 pm!

Bailemos! (Let's Dance)
