Meredith Zengler is a Southern California native, growing up in the Coachella Valley, way before festivals put ii on the map. From childhood Meredith has always loved the performing arts. She’s grown up with dance, theater, and winter guard as a core foundation in her life. She also has a passion for teaching and has been a public-school teacher for 14 years, and is currently teaching Math and STEM to 6th graders in La Quinta, CA. When she’s not in the classroom or on the dance floor, she and her husband Donavon are foster parents for their local community.
In 2012, Meredith found the best way to combine her love of dance and passion for teaching. She became a Zumba instructor and has been teaching it ever since. The following year, in 2013, she trained and became an instructor for U-Jam Fitness, which has now partnered with World of Dance. This program brings world beatz with an urban flavor into the group exercise setting. Over the last 6 years Meredith has been an instructor, coach, Jam KrU member, video presenter, choreographer and most recently an Elite Trainer for WOD U-Jam. She most recently presented WOD U-Jam at CanFitPro in Toronto, Canada and is excited to see the program spread into the Canadian market.
Meredith currently holds certifications in WOD U-Jam, Zumba, Zumba Sentao, and BANG! by Freedom Group Exercise. Meredith is excited to be sharing her love and passion for movement with everyone coming to Las Vegas. She believes group fitness is for everyone, regardless of where you are on your fitness journey. Whether this is day 1 or year 30, everyone has room to grow in their fitness journey, so why not make it a fun party along the way.
