Shayda Omoumi

I was a competitive gymnast from the age of 4 to 12 years, then began taking jazz, tap, hip hop, and cheerleading through high school. I began my group fitness journey at the age of 14 when I took Jazzercise classes with my mom. I continued Jazzercise through college while trying Zumba, pilates, yoga, and kickboxing. I began Zumba in 2009 and finally got licensed to teach in June 2012. I then got my group fitness certification through AFAA in July 2012. I started teaching Zumba at a local gym in September 2012. My next certification was Barre Above in April 2016 and I taught Barre for 2 years. In August 2016, I got licensed to teach STRONG by Zumba and have been teaching it since October 2016. I also have certifications in Piloxing, Piloxing Barre (taught for 1 year), and PiYo. I currently teach STRONG by Zumba twice per week, STRONG30 once per week, and Zumba once per week. I love attending other group fitness classes and trying new things! I also belly dance with a local troupe. I have a Bachelor's and Master's in Geology from the University of Oklahoma and work full time at a local oil company. I am happily married to the love of my life (since Aug 2018) and we love to travel together!
