Fitness does not need to be something you HAVE to do, but rather something you WANT to do.
For me, a healthy lifestyle is much more than just exercising. It’s about eating healthy, stretching, mindfulness and getting necessary rest and enough sleep. I love teaching others, see and experience how their bodies can move. I’m very passionate

For me, a healthy lifestyle is much more than just exercising. It’s about eating healthy, stretching, mindfulness and getting necessary rest and enough sleep. I love teaching others, see and experience how their bodies can move. I’m very passionate about helping participantsfind happiness in life and feel good about themselves.
I am AFLCA certified Group Fitness Instructor, and also hold Zumba, Aquacize and Older Adults certifications, and been teaching for more than 7 years. I am the proud mom of three boys and my teaching passion also goes to our Calgary classrooms as an Education Assistant.
Through positive thoughts come positive changes both mentally and physically, all you have to do is take that first step on the journey to your new life. We only get one body, so let’s keep it moving!

I’m Trina, a dancer, Zumba instructor, and a lover of music and movement! With roots in Indian culture, I grew up singing—and that love for music soon led me to dance. Over the years, I’ve trained in both Eastern and Western styles, and I’ve had the joy of performing at multicultural events here in Alberta.
In 2012, I took my first Zumba class and was instantly hooked. The energy, the music, the fun—it felt like I had found my calling! I became a certified Zumba instructor in December 2024, and now I get to do what I love every day: help people feel strong, happy, and confident through dance. My choreography are fun, safe, effective, and designed for all fitness levels, blending a variety of global rhythms to lift your soul with full of energy!!

Paola believes movement is powerful, not just for fitness, but for confidence, energy, and overall well-being!
Her passion for dance started at age six with ballet and jazz, later leading her to musical theatre in Mexico and high school dance competitions. In 2014, while working on her PhD in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine in Sheffield, England, she became a licensed Zumba instructor. After taking a break to focus on family, she returned to teaching Zumba in 2023 and now brings her energy and enthusiasm to the YMCA.
By day, she’s a Research Associate at the Alberta Children’s Epilepsy Program, running Knowledge2Empower, an educational initiative that creates engaging resources to raise awareness about epilepsy. By evening, she’s bringing the energy to Zumba classes, helping people move, sweat, and have a blast!
