Professional career as an Entertainer (singer/dancer/actor) for 10 yrs. Moved here almost 5 yrs ago from Houston,TX. Got interested in Turbokick shortly after my first child was born; thanks to Francee Haydel. She helped me see my desire to teach group fitness classes. Going from a career I chose to leave because of the love of family to finding another avenue I could use my skills for. I have always had a desire to perform for others but now I can direct my passion into encouraging, motivating and inspiring others through exercise in a positive and most of all FUN way to students of all levels of physical fitness. I am certified in Pilates, Turbokick, Hip Hop Hustle and of course ZUMBA! Zumba is really where my passion is. I LOVE IT! I currently teach zumba 3 days a week and pilates once a week and I love every minute of it. My favorite thing about Zumba is that it brings out “The dancer” in everyone no matter your back ground. Come join the Zumba party!

Jannelle Bell
	Hi! My name is Jannelle and I am one of the Zumba instructors here at Fusion Fitness. During the day, I can be found working as a school psychologist for East Baton Rouge Parish School System. Being that I have such a challenging job, Zumba is a great way for me to unwind. I started off as a Zumba participant, just like you, and realized that it was a true passion for me. As a result, I obtained my certification in April of 2011. I do not have a background in dance or fitness, but that’s what’s so great about Zumba! Everyone can do it! So ditch that workout and join the party with me here at Fusion!!! See you soon!!! Zumba Love!!!!

	I have a degree in Health Education and Promotion concentrated Community Health from Southeastern Louisiana University. I've been dancing off and one since I was 7 years old. The first time I stepped in to a Zumba class I was hooked. It brought such joy and happiness in my life; I had to be an instructor as soon as possible. I wanted to bring this feeling I have for Zumba fitness to others. It brings be great feeling of accomplishment seeing others with a smile on their face and enjoying working out.
Spin Instructors

Annalee Bodi
	Hi, I'm Annalee! I've always been interested in fitness and working out but got a little more aggressive with it after there was a little too much mommy left after the birth of my third child. I found myself drawn to the spin classes again and again and now here I am a certified spin instructor and gym junkie! It is my goal to help you get from A to Z in a fun and inspiring fashion. Spin classes do just that. I love that the intensity can be adjusted by the spinner, so any fitness level can start. I love throwing out new music and new routines and love class feedback, including song suggestions. So as you explore our great facility, awesome staff and wonderful classes, stop by mine for a heart pounding, bass thumping, lung busting spin on fitness!!

Hope Negrotto
	Hi Welcome to Fusion Gym! I have only been in this industry for 3 years but have been hooked since day one.. I hold certifications in spinning, group fitness, boot camp and personal training….but my true love remains with the Spinning program. I teach mostly in an interval style setting because I believe in getting the heart rate high and allowing for small breaks. I also run an outdoors boot camp and visit local high schools talking to our children about leading healthier lifestyles through eating and exercise.

Emily Smith
	Emily Smith About Me: I train with a purpose-- for competition, for fitness and overall wellness! My passion is helping others achieve their fitness goals! My goal is to be a friend and an instructor that inspires others! My inspiration comes God, my family and my friends! I teach Spin and Water Aerobics. History: I was born and raised in Georgia but I love South LA! Three years ago we relocated to Louisiana and I was forced to reach out and make a new circle of friends. I started working out at Fusion and found much more than a gym. I found myself through hours of sweat and hard work. I found friendship. I found a lifestyle that will benefit my health for years to come! It is my hope that I will get the opportunity to meet you and the privilege to help you reach your fitness goals. Favorite Sayings: Train like you are in second place and race like you are in first place! Success is never final and failure is never fatal!
