Melanie Maloney

Before Melanie discovered her passion for fitness, she found herself carrying an extra 42 pounds and longing for a fun and engaging way to reclaim her health. In 2011, she took the leap and attended her first Zumba class—a decision that would change her life forever. From that moment on, Melanie was captivated by the energy and excitement of Zumba, and she hasn't looked back since.

Two years later, in 2013, Melanie made the bold decision to take her commitment to Zumba to the next level by obtaining her instructor license. Driven by the profound transformation she experienced firsthand, Melanie was eager to share the joy and benefits of Zumba with others.

What sets Zumba apart for Melanie is its rich diversity, allowing her to infuse her classes with the vibrant rhythms and movements of her Haitian culture. Through song and dance, she not only helps her students get fit but also celebrates her heritage, fostering a sense of connection and unity within her community.
