Daisa, a Brazilian native, moved to the US at the age of 2. She has always loved to dance and was able to maintain the love and practice alive throughout many moves around the world. Her passion led her to pursue Belly Dance and find Zumba. After a very exciting and enthusiastic Zumba class in Germany in 2012, she instantly knew that teaching Zumba was something she would do eventually. Having fun dancing, while getting fit at the same time, is something she wanted to share with others from her heart. So, when she moved to in Palm City in 2019, she made her dream a reality and found her happy place, ZT's Fitness Studio. Daisa is certified in Zumba, Zumba Gold and Group Fitness. This energetic instructor plans on continuing her fitness & nutrition training and will teach Weight Lifting and Belly Dance in the future. Keep an eye our for her smile, it’s contagious!

Early on her fitness journey Mary became addicted to body sculpting, learning different styles of dance, and actively training as a runner.  She moved to Florida from NY in 2004, and then to Georgia in 2014 where she was inspired to pursue teaching fitness so she could share her love of health and wellness with others.  The foundation of Mary's training & experience is in group fitness, Pilates, barre, yoga, and musicality methods.  She is certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), Barre Above, and Balletone.  Mary also has a degree in Education and Biological Science which are big influences that drive her learning, class design, & teaching.  She is always super excited to focus on the science of strength, aerobic endurance, kinesiology, balance, and flexibility.  While in Georgia Mary taught Barre Above, dance aerobics, and body sculpting for several years.  She began teaching Barre Above at ZT’s Fitness Studio in 2018 when she returned to Florida.  Her newest class additions are Strength Xpress and Stretch & Yoga Flow on Sundays! When not being a fitness junkie, her all-time favorite thing to do is spend time with her husband of 32 years, and her beautiful Golden Retriever Jammin’ Jensen.   Step Aerobics and a Pilates workshops are next on Mary’s radar - both guaranteed to release those natural endorphins and enhance our ZT’s Fitness Family Fun!

Veronica, originally from Venezuela, met Teri in 2008 and has followed ZT’s Fitness Studio since it’s inception. Several years back, she took a BUTI Yoga class and immediately fell in love. Her passion for Yoga and Dance were combined into one, propelling her to become certified to teach BUTI and share the love. Her career as a Sonographer, 3 kids and 2 dogs keep her busy, however Veronica intends to teach several other forms of fitness like traditional Yin style Yoga (with focus on meditation) and Zumba in the future. Combining her knowledge of personal growth and many of her additional skills, she ultimately plans on becoming a life coach and retiring to the beach to enjoy the seas and sands. Until then, Veronica will continue to bring Spice and Om to ZT’s Fitness Studio!
