Meet Jumana...
Hi and thanks for visiting my website! I am "Juju"...originally from New Orleans, "NOLA Gurl", and recently moved to San Antonio, TX. I am active-duty Air Force & I am celebrating my 13yr anniversary in the USAF this year! I've lived in several states and traveled overseas.
I'm also attending Troy University online to complete a BS in Sports & Fitness Management. [Class of 2010!]
I have been involved with fitness in some form or another all my life! I was involved in all sports in high school & college. I participated in sporting and fitness challenges throughout my AF career & locally. Now, I teach fitness classes part-time & enjoy organizing fundraising events/benefits involving health & fitness.
*Certified Zumba® Basic & Zumba® Basic 2 Instructor
*AFAA certified Group Exercise Instructor
*CPR certified
I am highly active in the community & I love helping others achieve better health & wellnes! As an active-duty, working mom, I understand what it's like to not have time for fitness. However, I believe I have found a way to balance it all, and would love to help YOU do the same!
My sister, a prevention professional & instructor in Seattle, first introduced me to Zumba®, Fall 2007. ..."a fitness craze that hit her city!" After researching Zumba® online, I fell in love with the concept! I found a local class and tried it for the first time, (Bishopville, SC - Dona S.'s class, Oct 07). I WAS HOOKED!!
I received my Zumba® Fitness Instructor Certification (Dec 07) at a workshop in Charlotte, NC, taught by Koh Herlong. Soon after, I met Pam G. in South Carlina - another fitness instructor, who took me under her wing and taught me a lot about group exercise. There - my Zumba® career exploded!
With my Middle-Eastern/Hispanic background, Zumba's® worldly beats are right up my alley! The music ENCOURAGES you to move & feel happy! What more could you ask for, from a cardio workout that is FUN, and allows you to move every muscle from head to toe!? It's the best total body workout I've ever experienced. ...just ask the others!
I HIGHLY recommend Zumba® for any age, at any fitness level! I have ages 15-65+, women & men attending classes. You can adjust the moves to your comfort level, or modify them to intensify your workout! It's such an amazing phenomenon & I hope to see you in class!
