Keri Souza-Montoya

I have been involved with heath and fitness for the last 25 yrs as my husband and I own health clubs. I am passionate about health and fitness as I desire to live a long and healthy life and believe that staying active is the biggest contributor to doing that. I have always worked out and enjoyed group fitness classes as well as weight training. But it wasn't until September of 2021 that my Zumba instructor encouraged me to get licensed. She was going to be out for surgery for 3 months and wanted me to fill in for her because she said I already knew all the choreography. I never saw myself as an instructor but ever since then I have the bug. The first year or so I would just sub for instructors as needed but now I teach up to 5 classes a week. I teach Zumba, Zumba Gold, Silver Sneakers and Circl mobility. I love making a positive impact on my students physical and mental health. It has definitely been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had. With the added bonus of getting to workout myself.
