Hello! You can call me Kristy V. I've been a ZIN™ Member since Sep 2007, and I've been teaching fitness for over 20 years in the greater Chicagoland area. Though I've taught many formats, Zumba holds a special place in my heart. The reasons are simple: 1) I've never believed that working out has to be grueling or competitive. My classes are a no-judgment zone; just come be your awesome self. 2) It's an effective, engaging workout that feels like a party. If you are looking for a calorie-torching, mood-boosting workout where time flies...my Zumba class is where it's at!

I have in-person classes at two facilities in the Chicago's near north suburbs, and I'm continuing to rock your living room with virtual classes. Join my private group on Facebook for my weekly virtual class schedule: Fitness with Kristy V

I am licensed to teach Zumba, Aqua Zumba®, Zumba Gold®, Zumba® Kids & Kids Jr., Zumba in the Circuit. I strive to create a welcoming environment for both the motivated beginner and the dance diva. You'll squat, shimmy, sweat, and move your body in powerful ways, all while releasing stress and having a great time! Got questions? Don't hesitate to drop me a message.

I hold AFAA certifications for both group exercise and personal training. In addition to Zumba's formats, I am licensed to teach a variety of other fitness-based formats including WERQ®, LesMills Core®, Strength, Aquatics, and HIIT-style fusion classes.
