I graduated from Hunter College with a BA in Psychology and Sociology. Currently I am in pursuit of a Masters degree in Psychology. I have been working at Shape Fitness for the past 4 months. Working at Shape has given me a better knowledge of fitness that I find really helpful and rewarding.
Exercise should be fun!!!
With fun and interesting dance moves and great music, you won't even realize that an hour passed by. By combining high impact dance and aerobics you get a really great workout and leave drenched. I've been dancing since I was a kid. For the past ten years I have been teaching kids and adults. I give my all to each class and try to make it as fun, new and interesting as it can get while burning those pounds!!!!! Get ready to sweat and have fun!!!!!
After receiving a BS in computer science, having my first baby, and appearing as a success story in a Shape magazine, I realized (with the support of my husband) that computers are not my passion. Health is.
I got certified and have been a personal trainer for the past 8 years. Together with personal trainer’s certification I received certification in Sports Yoga. The idea of Sports Yoga is to combine basic yoga moves in order to improve one’s everyday lifestyle. I am also qualified to teach pre- and postnatal classes as well as build routines for people having minor back concerns.
Throughout these years I’ve worked in Equinox (Manhattan), Bally Total Fitness (Brooklyn), Lucille Roberts (where I was awarded for”Outstanding Personal Training sales”). Currently I am working at SHAPE as well as teaching healthy lifestyle to my own clients.
Besides being a personal trainer I am also a full time mom. So, I completely understand how challenging it is to find the time for yourself, but also how rewarding that is at the end.
After graduating with a BS in Nutrition, I became a Registered Dietitian and currently work in this field with women and children. Soon after, stemming from my love of fitness and health, I certified as a Group Fitness Instructor through ACE. My main objective when teaching a class is to be positive and enthusiastic, pushing my clients to reach their max.
Fitness is my life! I love what I do, and don't consider it a job at all. Exercise is the highlight of my day and I never consider it a pressure or something I must do. I love sports! And on my free time play competitive basketball, and paddleball with my friends, nothing beats being active outdoors! I ran 3 races this past spring in Central park, the biggest one was the mini 10K, and it was an amazing thrill and accomplishment. My goal is to run the half marathon in the near future.
When I'm not teaching at shape or taking one of their amazing classes, I jog the Coney island boardwalk which is a few minutes from my house, the 5 mile jog (on the boardwalk) has the most amazing views of the beaches, nothing relaxes you more than the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing against the sand. It's like a mini vacation everyday! I hope you come join me in my class and look forward to seeing you! Remember, never give up, eat healthy, and keep moving! Hope to see you soon!!

Zumba changed my life!!
Since becoming a mother and falling into the routine of putting others before me I woke one day and didn't recognize myself. I made the decision to get healthy and zumba made it fun! It became a night for me, not just exercise and that's what I strive to teach through dance. I am a certified Zumba instructor who has lost over 100 pounds, so come and join in on the party...it may just change your life too ;)
