Janis Graham

My name is Janis Graham, I am a mom of 3 amazing children. I got into fitness because of my children, I wanted to be a good example to them by leading a healthy lifestyle. I wanted to lead by example, not be one of those do as I say not as I do type of parents. After taking about 10 ZUMBA classes I decided that getting licensed would be a great idea. I became a licensed zumba® fitness instructor September 1, 2012. October 2012 I continued my ZUMBA® career by becoming licensed in kids/kids Jr, as well as my B2 training to further my knowledge. I began teaching in December 2012, and was lucky enough to experience the ZUMBA instructor convention in August 2013 where I was able to do my Gold and Sentao trainings as well as other valuable mini sessions. I have my online trainings for core, glutes, and Bursts. In April 2014 I received my Group fitness certification through AFAA, and June 2014 my Piyo certification as well. I continued again to the 2014 ZUMBA instructor convention where I did my aqua and toning licenses. And was lucky enough to take a class and meet Beto Perez (the creator of Zumba® fitness) in Miami. And fall of 2014 I did my proskills training. I have attended many Jam sessions as well as donated my time for many different zumbathons, which raise money and help spread awareness for many different causes. In August 2016 I started my Yogafit certification and am looking forward to growing in my Yoga practice.  I currently teach 24 classes a week (ZUMBA® Gold, ZUMBA®, Strong by ZUMBA®, piyo, Yoga, total body sculpt, bootcamp, sky performance and HIIT class.)  at 4 different locations I am so very blessed to have found a career in something that I absolutely love to do, and  thankful for the many amazing people that fitness has brought into my life.
