Bogi
Zumbini
My name is Bogi and I love teaching fitness classes.
I always had a great passion for dance and fitness. After having my three wonderful children, I quit my full time job, so I could spend more time with my little ones, and decided to turn my passion into a profession. I specialized in Resistance Training and started teaching a variety of fitness classes.
After a couple of years, I joined a Zumba class and I knew that I would not stop there. Zumba is what moves me and what I really love to do. So, I became a licensed Zumba instructor. Over the years, I acquired a variety of specialties: Zumba Kids, Zumba Toning, Zumba Gold, Zumbini, and Strong by Zumba. I teach Zumbini classes at Auburn House.
Fitness makes me happy! I want to share my passion with all fitness enthusiasts and help them to be active and live a healthy lifestyle!

Rita
Cardio Kickboxing, HIIT Tabata Core, BOSU Belly Challenge, Fusion, and more!
Rita has been an AFLCA certified Fitness Instructor for various Land fitness classes (including: HIIT, Muscle and Cardio based fitness, Fusion, Barre, STEP) for over 18 years.
I started teaching group fitness classes as a volunteer for charitable organizations in 2000. I wanted to connect with people who also loved fitness, particularly working out as a group. I was drawn to the team dynamics that group fitness brings; encouragement and motivation! Not only from the instructor but everyone in the room. I love meeting new participants and keeping connections with returning ones. I have met numerous people through fitness instruction and most are my closest friends today.
Physical fitness is super important to me because it helps me relieve mental stress and keeps me in shape for my active family. Teaching classes keeps me committed to working out as I am motivated that each participant has taken the time to show up, even when life is busy. I often teach later in the evening so that I can get the kids somewhat settled before I take the time for ME. Since putting my Engineering career on hold to be home with my children I realize how important it is to take the time to invest in yourself so that you can be your best for the family.
