What's Going On... :'(

To all of my Zumba Peeps...
I want each of you to know how much I appreciate your support, encouragement and getting to know each of you. What a wonderful experience it has been to own Sunshine Fitness.... all because I got to meet such amazing people! Thank you!

With that intro, I guess it's pretty evident that I'm leading you to not-so-good news... so here it is... I will not be renewing my lease. This means I will be closing the studio... but not until October... so we've still got a good 5 weeks to party it out!!! There are a few reasons for this change and it has come through a lot of contemplation, worry, prayers and (of course) even some tears. I really feel I need to focus on my family and although I love Zumba and each of you, that is the most important responsibility I have.

I hope you will continue to support me as we finish out STRONG! Our schedule will continue as it has been:

Here are the details:
We will continue the current schedule through October 15th, which is when we have a special ZJ class (for ZIN members) and Master's Class (FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE) with the Amazing Debbie Kielmar! Don't miss this event! It will be AMAZING! (p.s. No Saturday morning class on Oct. 15th.)

Don't forget to come in and finish up your punch cards up until Oct. 13... and this means all the monthly memberships have had their last draw... they are still valid to the end of September of course. I will miss all of you but I will still see you around town and what not. It's not like I'm dying or anything... although it's like a little piece of me will be missing. I <3 you and will send updates if we decide to do any fun Zumba activities randomly, or help others with their events. Keep dancing toward your goals! :)

THANK YOU! (((Zumba Love)))

Kristina Johnson

Kristina is originally from Northern KY., but moved to Mt. Sterling 13 years ago shortly before getting married. Exercise has been an important part of her life to help maintain a weight loss of 40 pounds after her second child was born; however, NOTHING compares to the fun of burning calories in Zumba classes. She took her first class from Sunshine a little over a year ago and was instantly hooked!! SHe is licensed to teach Zumba and Zumba Toning and enjoys every minute of it. She is married to Kelly and is a mom of two wonderful children - Gracie, 12, and Davis, 6.

Tiffany Wilson

I was first introduced to yoga in 2006 after being in the corporate environment for three years and gaining the "sitting-down-all-day 15 lbs". When I couldn't find the cheerleader or soccer try-outs for twenty-somethings, I realized I needed a lifelong fitness practice. Now a graduate of the LHAA Yoga Teacher Training Program and a registered yoga teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance, I am thankful I have found my practice and I'm able to share my passion with others. For me, Yoga is not just a fitness program; it is a metaphor for life. You'll find yourself in some awkward and quite frankly humiliating positions, but just like in life: keep trying, take a deep breath and move on.
