Nelly Salazar

I am originally from the Northeast coast of Venezuela, where I got my Law Degree and practice during 15 years before moving to USA during the summer of 2000.

Went to the University of Houston, Clear Lake, virtually to get a certification as Paralegal, which I did with 95/100 as final grades. It was impossible to get a job in the field as I was "overqualified" according to different Law Offices in the area.

That's when I decided to do something with my real passion which is working out! I started at a little Curves for Women in Richmond, TX.

In the summer of 2003, I moved to Anchorage, AK with my now ex-husband. I proudly became an Alaskan USA Citizen in 2005. I stayed there during 14 years, until my new husband and I decided to move to Lakewood, CO where we have our home since July of 2017. In Anchorage, I became a Zumba instructor, started getting licensed in all its formats. I also started getting more into Fitness education. By the time  I moved to Colorado, I had all my Zumba licenses, became a certified Group Fitness Instructor,  Piyo and Pound Pro and added Aqua Fitness to my repertoire, even though I did not know if I would like it...just for education, but ended up being my specialty as a GX and PT. Then we moved to Florida...yes!!

As I said, I live in Florida now, with my husband. We are living a semi-retired live but I still am teaching all my classes, and taking care of clients, and learning to play golf...as active as always! 

I love to travel, meet new people, and lead people to a healthier, happier and stronger existence.

I am perfectly bilingual English/Spanish, and simply very good at communicating and connecting with people.

I love what I do very much!
