Group Fitness Instructor - Zumba and Body Pump

LJ's Fitness

Hello, I'm Shaena. I am a Singer and a stylist and an instructor here at LJ's. My fitness journey began in 2011 when a friend of mine began teaching Zumba at our local YMCA. I love dancing so I decided to give it a try and instantly fell in love with it. Zumba opened the doors to group fitness classes and I soon began trying other classes like Bodypump. In 2012 my friend decided she needed help with some of her classes. She asked me if I wanted to get licensed and take over some of her classes. Without hesitation, I said yes. In 2014, I moved into the area. A quick Google search for Bodypump and Zumba classes led me to LJ's. Ironically, LJ's was in need of a Zumba instructor. I started teaching pretty quickly. Since then, I hav taken trainings to teach other classes including Bodypump. I am so grateful for my journey and where it has led me. What I love about group fitness classes is the relationships that come out of it. Each class almost feels like a family. A family who encourages each other.
