Hello! I'm Amy Tunnell, and I have been teaching Zumba since 2008.  I have a dance background in West African dance and Salsa/Bachata partner dancing.  In my years of teaching experience I have learned how to cater to everyone's needs in the room, beginner and experienced.  I came from dance performance background, but learned quickly that teaching Zumba is not a performance, but requires skills to break down movements that are easy to follow.  The goal in the room is to have fun and sweat!

I teach Zumba not at a gym, but in a community atmosphere that I created in 2010, when I started my own Fitness business called Denver West Burbs Fitness and Dance.   Through a lot of hard work and moving from venue to venue, I finally was able to move my classes into two beautiful locations in West Denver and Wheat Ridge.  My dedicated students have followed me through all of this and I invite you to come dance with us!  I also hold large fitness events on a regular basis which bring up to 120 people per event, with multiple instructors form all over the metro area.  Click on the link symbol above to learn more about my weekly classes and when the next event is!   

In addition to my Zumba Fitness licensing, I am also a certified Pilates instructor (Reformer and Mat based) and a Pound Fitness Instructor.  Mat Pilates and Pound Fitness are also offered at Denver West Burbs Fitness and Dance.  All inclusive Punch Cards and monthly memberships are available, with 8 classes per week offered.   You can also contact me about private Reformer based Pilates sessions we can schedule at your convenience in the Lakewood area.  

I am also available to teach any of these formats at corporate events, office lunchtime or morning classes, or I can host a party for you or your child at one of my studio locations or at your home! I have hosted several private Fitness Parties for both adults and children! I also host flash mobs and fundraisers.  Please contact me for any Special events you would like me to be a part of and help bring fitness into the lives of others!   My favorite part about teaching fitness as my full time endeavor is that I have been able to inspire others and make them feel better both inside and out!

Come join me, I guarantee you will have a blast! If you have questions, don't hesitate to drop me a message!
