SungYee Yang

SungYee Yang(Sung for short) is a licensed Zumba fitness instructor since 2012, and a Strong by Zumba instructor since 2016. Sung Yang was always into health and fitness programs since she was in college. With a bachelor degree is physical education, and a master degree in Sports Biomechanics, she always had the motive to help all age groups in the community for them to live a healthy active life. One of her favorite class was in 2001, she taught a group of high school students that were expelled from school because of smoking on campus. She had to meet with them 3 times a week, have a short conversation about their daily life's and then do a 40minute hiphop cardio class. The first and second week, all the students were dreaded to come to class. However, every week she saw the difference with the students. After 6 months, the 6 students class grew to 20 students because all the students kept bringing their friends wanting to share the enthusiastic together. They made a habit of looking after each other. For example, checking each other if they are on time at school in the mornings, making healthier choices(not smoking, eating less junk food), and having good relationships with the teachers and students at school. The 6 students who were trouble makers became a good example to their school. After that class, Sung Yang kept her passion as a group fitness instructor and decided to keep inspiring her participants every class she taught. She believes if she focuses on every class, little by little everyone will take little steps, however, in a long run, all the participants will be able to be in a happier and healthier life.
