Clarissa

In 2012, I made the decision to prioritize my health and began exploring different forms of physical activity. I stumbled upon ZUMBA at a nearby studio and was immediately drawn to the vibrant energy of the group. In 2015, I became certified to teach.  I also have my AFAA Group Fitness Instructor certification. During my free time, I enjoy training for half marathons and taking “run-cations” to new destinations!

Cynthia

I have been teaching elementary P.E. for Northside ISD for 25 years and have been a fitness instructor for 8 years. I am licensed in Zumba and am passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle and share the joy of movement and healthy eating. My cardio strength class is sure to get you up and moving with a variety of different exercises that help to improve both muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Ethel

I have been a licensed Zumba Instructor for two years and am also certified to teach CIRCL Mobility™. As a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), I value the importance of whole-body wellness and education. My goal as an instructor is to make sure you feel comfortable, safe and have fun while staying healthy! CIRCL Mobility™ classes focus on improving flexibility, breathwork, and mobility. I look forward to being part of your health journey and I hope to see you in class!

Liza

I have been a licensed Zumba Instructor for 14 years and recently received my certification with Alberto Perez, creator and co-founder of Zumba. My goal is to make class fun and challenging and help students to be confident and focused on fitness.

Paulo

I have been a Zumba instructor for 10 years and my passion for it started when I took classes as a student. I loved that I was having fun dancing and exercising at the same time. Getting certified to teach Zumba has been one of the best decisions of my life because I have been part of a health journey for hundreds of people through Fit Family Challenge.

Theresa

I am 61 years young and work for Community First Health Plans of SA, Gonzaba Senior Fitness, and the YMCA as a group fitness instructor. I have been part of Fit Family Challenge since the program started in 2010. I am very active in the senior citizen fitness community and a retired physical education teacher.  Diabetes has affected my family, friends, and my former students. I feel through proper education and awareness, our San Antonio community can benefit from programs like the Fit Family Challenge.

Caprice

Caprice is the founder of Free Community Yoga. She is a graphic artist who brings creativity to the mat, providing her students space for self-exploration and the opportunity to cultivate self-love, compassion, connection, awareness and authentic self-expression. After spinal fusion surgery, she embraced yoga to heal physically. Through the practice she experienced a transformative shift that awakened a deeper understanding of self, realizing that true healing occurs when you begin to live authentically. As an instructor, she inspires others to discover their yoga journey, believing it is never too late to begin again.
