Andrea
Instructor
Columbia, SC
⮕ Website
I’ve always loved sports. In my youth I was a speed skater and cyclist in East Germany at an elite sports school. My dream was to be an Olympian or a coach, but history happened, and I became a banker and married an American soldier. We have two amazing kids, Annika and Eric.
After the birth of my second child, I started working out on the Wii, which is where I came across Zumba. After moving to Columbia, SC, I attended my first Zumba Class in 2011 and I was in love! My husband encouraged me to become an Instructor. Long story short, I gained many more fitness licenses and certifications, including all the Zumba licenses, Boot Camp Workout, Senior Fitness and Foam Roller certification.
Over the past nine years I have worked at gyms, my local rec center and taught group fitness classes for local businesses and corporations. In 2017, I made my dream come true and became a NSAM certified Personal Trainer and created my business, A.K FITT, with a focus to inspire healthy living. Healthy living is my passion and I love to motivate and encourage others to live their best lives.
Currently I teach Zumba Gold, Zumba Fitness, Low Impact HIIT, Aqua Fit, POUND, and STRONG Nation.
