Maggie Engels

My name is Maggie Engels, I am 27 years old and from a very small town in Upstate New York.  I started taking Zumba classes because a friend of mine became an Instructor and begged me to come and support her.  I was reluctant, but wound up completely falling in love with the classes.  I found myself singing the songs and practicing the moves at home.  When people told me they loved watching me and that I moved really well, I decided; why not go get certified myself?  So I got my Zumba Basic 1 certification and have been teaching classes since.  I am so passionate about Zumba and I think it really shows in my classes.  I have a very dedicated following and I think it's because my love for Zumba shows when I instruct.  My classes are high-energy, loud, crazy, and super fun.  I recently advanced my Zumba career by becoming certified in Aqua Zumba, and I am teaching these classes at a University as a non-credit course.  I am also a Beachbody Coach and a licensed PiYo Strength instructor.  PiYo Strength is a challenging course that uses movements inspired by both pilates and yoga.  It is a strength and power class that while challenging, is very effective.
