Hi I’m Daphne.  I’ve never been a fan of exercising.  However in 2013 I had to make a very important decision for my health.  I had to loose weight before getting pregnant to ensure a healthier and safer pregnancy.  I researched many forms of exercise.  If I was going to be successful, it had to be something I’d enjoy and stick to.  I love to dance and decided Zumba was the way to go!

     I attended my first Zumba class at the New Bedford Recreational Center of that same year.  I immediately fell in love!  Zumba isn’t only a fun form of exercise, it’s also a great stress reliever and my happy hour!  

     Over the past 11 years, I’ve attended hundreds of classes offered by many amazing and inspiring instructors throughout the state of MA.  In April of 2022, I was approached by this one particular instructor whose words were “Daphne, you’d make an amazing instructor!”  On July 9, 2022 I decided to drive to CT and complete the training and become licensed.  

     I’ve led a few songs here and there, but it wasn’t until joining Fun Fitness that I felt comfortable.  It was then that I felt the confidence needed to also be a part of an amazing team of instructors.  Thank you Dianne for encouraging and allowing me this wonderful opportunity!
