I am a Certified Zumba Instructor through the Zumba Instructor Network. 

 

After graduating from the USC School of Business with a degree in Marketing, Connie spent 20 years in business technology sales and 10 years as a full-time stay home Mom.  Upon retiring and finding my self an empty nester at the beginning of 2011 I began to search for ways to spend her time that would excite, engage and enrich her. 

 

An active fitness enthusiast and participant for over 30 years in a variety of traditional exercise programs I began to look for a new form of exercise program that would keep me motivated to work out. I stumbled upon Zumba. After taking 6 Zumba classes I was hooked and happy.  Doing Zumba didn’t feel like working out.  Deciding to turn my new passion into a business, I enrolled in the Zumba basic training.  After 4 months of teaching Zumba classes in her basement, CL Fitness Studio was officially launched in December 2011 at Rhythmax Dance in south Naperville. 

 

With a commitment to excellence in my new career, I pursued and received group exercise certification through the Aerobic Fitness Association of America (AFAA).  Although not a requirement to teach Zumba classes, AFAA certification satisfied my strong desire to ensure that I demonstrate safe and proper exercise form to the different student populations and have a foundation in exercise physiology, anatomy, kinesiology, and nutrition.

 

I currently teach 5 weekly classes at Rhythmax Dance. Zumba Gold classes will be added to the teaching roster in mid-March.  My goal for every class is to make fitness fun.  I want EVERYONE to  -
