Julia Berry

I am a certified Zumba and Aqua Zumba instructor with over 10 years of fitness instruction experience.  I have taught both virtual and in-person classes, in a number (and variety) of settings and class compositions.  I am high-energy by nature and very enthusiastic about sharing my passion for fitness and fun with others.  (I believe that fitness and fun aren't mutually exclusive!). I currently teach Zumba and Aqua Zumba at the YMCA centers, along with corporate fitness (Zumba and kickboxing) at off-site corporate member facilities. I teach virtual classes as well (Zumba), which enables me to reach people who would not ordinarily go to a gym or fitness center. It brings me joy and professional satisfaction to watch my students hit their personal fitness goals, knowing that it builds towards generational fitness and well-being.  Additionally, I have taught High-Lo aerobics, Kickboxing, and Step aerobics (group fitness-corporate wellness) for the City of Houston, along with step aerobics for Central Care Integrated Services.

I love group fitness, especially Zumba.  I'm currently learning Spanish to better connect with the Latin music and culture of the Zumba dance fitness movement.  I am very interested in expanding my teaching horizons to include fitness teaching vacations and I'm looking forward to working with you.
