1. I started Zumba in the nightclub. That’s right, I attracted USA Zumba Magazine’s interest from the most southern Zumba class in the world by innovating how classes were delivered. The classes were so full I had to get extra building tests for the windows when 100+ people are jumping in sync.
2. I completed my PhD in the same timeframe as everyone else (10 years total at Uni, final 4 PhD). Except I also single-handedly was running a wildly successful fitness business with staff and multiple locations, plus I was being flown around the world as an invited speaker and winning top titles in fitness competitions. I think that either means Im crazy or I have impeccable time management (or both).
3. I entered a fitness model competition (which also occurred the same weekend I was speaking at a conference, was a sponsored athlete on an expo stand). Although in the fitness competition I didn’t win the overall title which meant being featured in the magazine, the magazine editor picked me to be on the cover with a cover story.
Because I have see the fitness industry from a number of perspectives, I value the opportunity to share my knowledge, research and experience to help you succeed further.
