Michele Sundeen

I am 44 years old and I have been dancing my whole life. But deciding I needed a change, I joined the United States Navy and spent 10 years working and traveling the world. That experience taught me the value of hard work, honor and commitment. I would not trade that for anything. But, family life called and I became a housewife and mother of 4 children. I joined the Buffalo Athletic Club in 2007 and never looked back. I enjoy the classes- cardio, yoga, pilates. But I discovered Zumba in April of 2011 and was hooked immediately. I knew in my heart that was what I was meant to do. I worked with the instructors at the gym and took my license class in October of 2011.

I love the feeling of helping people to set and reach their fitness goals- whatever they may be. Zumba is not just another aerobic class, it becomes a family and a party all in one. When folks walk out of the room tired and sweating- but smiling and laughing- I know I did my job!
