Christina is a licensed Zumba and MixxedFit Instructor. She was born and raised in Mount Vernon, NY, with familial ties in The Bronx. Growing up in 90s New York contributed to her tastes in music, affinity for dance, and love of diverse cultures.
Christina was introduced to Zumba as a young adult. She often used the Zumba DVDs and video games to have personal dance parties at home. After moving to Atlanta, she experienced her first in-person Zumba class and fell in love. After attending classes weekly, she decided to become an instructor herself, and earned her license in the fall of 2021.
In the summer of 2023, while battling issues of self love and body image, Christina decided to teach her first Zumba class. She has not looked back since. In December of 2023, Christina became a certified MixxedFit instructor. She uses both formats in each of her classes.
She currently teaches at LA Fitness and Crunch gyms, where she encourages her students to bring their full selves to every class. Her goal in class is to teach her students to love and appreciate themselves and the functionality of their bodies. She starts each class by stating her three rules: 1. There’s no such thing as extra, be as dramatic as possible. 2. If you get a chance to throw it, you will throw it. 3. If there is ever a moment you ask yourself if it’s okay to be sexy here, yes is always the answer.
