Shaniqua is a certified group fitness instructor who primarily teaches Zumba but she’s also a licensed Strong & Mixxedfit instructor as well.
Shaniqua began teaching in 2013, but she never intended on becoming an instructor. Zumba was introduced at her YMCA in 2016, and she loved it! Having a dance background, she would choreograph some songs but was happy just being a student. The wellness director expressed her desire for Shaniqua to become a Zumba instructor. However, it would be over a decade later that she felt it was time and 3 students offered to pay for the training! She has been an instructor for the YMCA since then and previously taught at, LA Fitness, and One Life Fitness.
She resides in GA but is a native of Dallas, Tx…. How bout them Cowboys!!
Outside of fitness, Shaniqua has been a licensed Realtor with Keller Williams for over 20yrs! Shaniqua loves people! Whether it’s helping them become homeowners or develop a more fit lifestyle she loves helping them attain their goals!
Shaniqua tells her students that when they come to her class, they have a “License To Shake!” She loves to make people laugh and smile and fitness allows her to bring a little bit of that to each person’s life.
