Meranda “Randy” Thaxton is an instructor, Trainer, and Creative Team Member (choreographer) for COMMIT DANCE Fitness. Randy started her dance fit instructor journey in 2013 with Zumba, later joining MixxedFit in 2014, and COMMIT in 2018. Her love for dance fitness started as a Zumba student in 2012, and it was her fellow students who encouraged her to become an instructor.
Randy’s connection with her students has always been her “why”; she has had some of the same students since 2013, teaching in the same room she started in. Her entire purpose is wanting people to be healthy, specifically heart healthy, as her loss of several family and friends have been due to heart disease. Randy believes dance fitness is the gateway to all things fitness, noting that it helped her lose weight and stay healthy for over 10 years.
Throughout the years, Randy has licensed several instructors for both MixxedFit and COMMIT, mentored countless individuals, and has a long catalog of choreography shared with people all over the world. She has taught classes in all 7 cities of Hampton Road Virginia. Randy is coming up on her 10-year mark, yet she has never lost sight of her why, her purpose, or her humility. She is super excited and grateful to be a part of GAINS FIT Cancun 2023.
