TAI KO
Instructor
My journey with Zumba began in 2012 when I accidentally walked into Johnny’s Fit2Groove Monday 8pm class! I still remember that vibe clearly. Reality was much more than a Zumba Fitness DVD on American infomercials! Everyone had smiles on their faces and doing their best moves! Not faking for the cameras, but for REAL! And the Latin music, which I LOOOVE!After attending a few classes, (apart from realising how unfit and uncoordinated I was), I was finding myself getting hooked on this program and attended every Fit2Groove class for a year or so. My body was completely out of shape after having twin babies and I was at my heaviest weight ever. Back then, I was also battling the physical and emotional struggles of several major life events, but Zumba and its community helped me gain energy and happiness to cope with pretty much anything in life it seemed!! I was thinking to myself, “OK, today was a really hard day but I can shake it off at Zumba later!”. It was my therapy, outlet, and “me” time away from all the stress I was experiencing.
It took me some years before I took the next step to become a Zumba instructor. Stephanie from Fit2Groove encouraged me to take the instructor training a few years ago and I am so grateful that she did! I am proud to be one of many participant-turned instructors at Fit2Groove, and I am so happy and proud to be able to give something back to the beautiful community. Please come join us soon. You are always welcome on our stage
