Prisca Suarez

Hello fellow fitness enthusiasts. My name is Prisca. I am a highly motivated, highly energetic self-starter, and I absolutely love fitness. I believe that working out should not be about dropping pounds or achieving a specific body type, but should be a way of life. I became involved in the world of fitness long before I became an instructor. Throughout my life I have danced with various companies and have always been involved in developing choreography for the respective companies. My background includes jazz, modern, ballet, hip-hop, West African, and Afro-Caribbean dance. Throughout high school was also involved in active extracurricular activities. I participated on the swim team, basketball team, and served as cheerleading captain my senior year. As an undergraduate I danced with the University of Pittsburgh Dance Ensemble and was a founding member of a dance troupe while studying abroad at eh University of Havana in Cuba.

In 2012 I decided to undergo formal training to share my passion for fitness with others. I obtained Primary Group Exercise and Kickboxing Certifications from AFAA. With these certs I have taught a wide range of classes (Kickboxing, Power Circuit, Spicy Step, Kick N' Tone, Dance Fitness, and Boot Camp) I have also worked with a wide range of participants, including students, teachers, and staff of various ages, backgrounds, and physical abilities. My biggest accomplishment is ongoing and occurs every time a student tells me he/she loves the challenge and energy of my class because it keeps them coming back. I love teaching fitness classes and am currently have plans to complete a Zumba and Aqua Zumba  certifications this year. 

I am proud to join the Fit Pro community and am confident that I will an asset to the Fit Bodies, Inc. In addition to my unwavering commitment to the fitness industry energetic personality, I also enjoy studying languages and Latin American cultures. I speak Spanish fluently and am currently speak Portuguese at an intermediate level. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and a master’s degree in Latin American Studies.
