Kellette Barker/Malone

I began my fitness quest as a high school student. My cheerleading coach introduced me to weight lifting and I fell in love. During that same time period, I started taking choreographed aerobics at a local Park Dept, and loved that too, the instructor guided me into the group fitness classes and then began teaching Kickboxing, step and land aerobics as well. I then was hired at a new local gym, got certified in yoga and pilates and began teaching this as well. This is when I realized the true meaning of being and instructor. The connection with the students, the true benefits of stress release, the confidence boost as well as the physical changes in my students. I have built wonderful friendships with my students, and they have taught me much in return, by listening to there needs. I then heard about the new Zumba Craze? This is it!!! Fun and fitness!! I am now teaching Zumba, ZumbaToning, ZumbaGold, and will now begin the AquaZumba program!!! I am currently teaching 28 classes a week, a mix of Zumba, ZumbaToning, ZumbaGold, Deep Stretching, Abs Blast, PowerCore(yoga/pilates, resistance training, weights and deep stretch and of course, Core work) and an outline training called Fit for Life, a reflection of the Body For Life Program that is offered in the weight training program. I am currently helping(but I am not certified) in a fun new class called "Drums Alive" class that originated from Germany!! I cannot imagine doing anything else!! This is definitely the dream job...If you want to call it a job!! I am ready for the traveling experience and sharing fitness with new people from all around the world!!
