Debi Wolfe

My name is Debi and I am married to my husband Barry and we have 2 boys, Cody who is 22 and Cole who is 15.  I have been working full time as a nurse for over 16 years and am still continuing my education working on my Masters degree in Nursing.  I hope to someday be able to practice as a Nurse Practitioner.  Back in 2009 I wanted to find something to help me get into shape and relieve some stress of my everyday life, so started taking Zumba classes from a instructor named Danyelle and fell totally in love with it.  That's when I decided this was something I should look into teaching.  In 2011 I became a certified Zumba instructor and shortly after I started teaching my own classes.  At first I was afraid because I wasn't your average looking fitness instructor.  I wasn't tiny and was still working on getting myself in better shape so I worried that maybe people wouldn't appreciate me as an instructor.  But to my surprise it was the total opposite, they could relate to me because I had problem areas too and we were all working together to get to where we could feel comfortable with ourselves.  Fast forward to today, and I can't believe how teaching a little thing such as Zumba could make such a transformation in my life.  I have been there to help others reach their goals and they have been there for me when I am reaching mine.  I have made lasting friendships by just sharing my love for Zumba with others and would love the opportunity to share that love even further with people from around the world.
