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!
