I’m Mikhaila — but you can call me Mik! I’ve been in the fitness industry since 2018, when I earned my license to teach Zumba®. From the beginning, my mission has been simple: to show people that fitness can be fun, empowering, and something you genuinely look forward to.
My love for movement started at age five when I stepped onto the mat for my first martial arts class. Eighteen-plus years later, I’m now a second-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and an assistant instructor at the same dojo where I began. Teaching has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I thrive on the contagious energy of group fitness and love bringing that excitement to every class I lead. I’m certified as a Group Fitness Instructor through the Athletics and Fitness Association of America, and I can teach everything from HIIT and Cycling to Mobility, Strength, Circuits, Stretching, and even Aquatic formats.
In 2023, I expanded my coaching journey by becoming a NASM-certified personal trainer. Helping people grow in a one-on-one setting has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I'm currently working full‑time in the fitness industry as a Health Fitness Specialist with the National Institute of Fitness and Sport at the Hershey Foods Corporate Gym, and I genuinely love every minute of it.
There’s nothing better than watching someone step outside their comfort zone and discover what they’re capable of — bonus points if they’re smiling while doing it.
