Marquita Adams

I am currently employed full-time as a Controls Integration Engineer.  My professional experience has equipped me with skills that can be applied to the fitness industry.  I am well organized and accustomed to presenting in front of wide ranges of people.  In addition to being very personable and enthusiastic, I have the ability to encourage and motivate others.  Possession of such skills allows me to be conscious of individual needs and abilities, while making people feel a part of the group. 

My fitness journey is one that allows me to connect with others.  Fitness has not always been my strong point.  Fitness came to me later in life as a means to living a healthier lifestyle and decreasing my risk of developing the medical issues that I am genetically predisposed to.  Over the past three years, I have developed an addiction for health and fitness.  I began weight training in 2008, progressed to Step Aerobics and Zumba Classes in 2010, read health/fitness magazines, and I improved my nutrition habits.  As a result, I have lost over 30 pounds to date. 

I would like to bring my skills and experience to work for you.  I have a true passion for fitness, which I seek to share.  I want to teach Zumba classes because it aligns with my desire to motivate others towards a healthier lifestyle.  I aim to reach a broad range of people and guide them on a total fitness journey: mind, body, and soul.  My passion for fitness coupled with the power of Zumba translates into encouragement for others to enjoy themselves and dance as if no one is watching.
