About Mary


I have struggled all my life with a weight problem, diets and short cut weight loss gimmicks -- you name it I tried it. Nothing was ever permanent. Yes, I had an eating disorder. So gave up and I accepted it. It’s genetic, I come from a family history of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. I became depressed, I developed back, ankle and knee injuries from all the extra weight I was carrying on my small frame that I didn’t even know I had -- I always thought I was just big boned. There were days I could barely walk due to lack of exercise.   

In 2008 I received the Zumba DVD for Christmas and the moment I hit play I was hooked. I got up off my chair and started dancing. I fell in love with this new workout that didn’t feel like a workout at all it was so easy. I was dancing and sweating -- I never had a salsa dance lesson in my life. In Aug,08 I went to Canfitpro, I had the privilege to get certified with the creator of Zumba him self, Beto Perez.

I noticed the results and after one year, along with proper nutrition, I had actually lost 50 LBS! Gone forever! Effortlessly!  Zumba has changed my health and quality of life forever.

This is my success story. Let me help you create yours. You will agree that every class feels like a party -- and without any tequila!
