Maryanne Rae

I am an enthusiastic, motivating group exercise leader who believes that having fun should be the whole point of working out! My love for fitness developed in my early 20’s with weekly step aerobics classes and weight training. For 15 years, I had a love/hate relationship with cardio until I found ZUMBA and haven’t stepped on a treadmill since! I became a Zumba instructor and have been motivated by seeing participants literally shrink before my eyes all while having a big smile on their face and begging for more! The smiles and encouragement that I receive from the participants in my classes is what keeps me motivated. I am currently a certified AFAA Group Exercise Instructor with a focus on teaching the Zumba specialty programs. I am always seeking ways to improve my classes by continuing education in the areas of fitness, health and nutrition and further enhancing my dance skills with private instruction.
