I am married and a busy mother of two girls Taylor and
Taryn.  I also work as a Childcare Food Program Monitor. I
always found myself on the roller coaster ride of dieting and
exercising. I finally got off the ride when I went to a Zumba
class with Kim about 4 years ago.  I fell in love instantly with
the music and the dance moves.  I  finally got licensed in
November 2009 just to sub when Kim. But as soon as I
taught my first class I was hooked. I love to see the smiling
faces in the crowd and the great energy I receive while
teaching.   Zumba has changed my life tremendously I look
and feel great.

Erica has been teaching Zumba at Fusion since September
2009, and TurboKick since October 2010.  She is also a
credentialed Math teacher, teaching online high school
classes for Horizon Charter Schools, as well as tutoring
Math up through Pre-Calculus.  She enjoys teaching Math
but will be the first to admit that teaching Zumba and
TurboKick is a lot more fun!  Erica lives in Elk Grove with
her husband, Reggie, and their two crazy boys, Anthony
(10) and Austin (6).  She loves reading, scrapbooking,
stamping, crafts, summer vacation, and snowmobiling.  
My name is Darwin Mitchell been a personal  trainer and
instructor for 10 years.

My passion for fitness goes back 30 plus years. First as a
professional dancer for 6 years then as a martial artist for 7
years, studying Taekwondo and Kenpo Karate. I have been
fitness training for about 17 years. At 56 years young I
practice what I preach. I am committed to the success of
everyone I train. I have had students lose weight, re-shape
the bodies and change their mental focus. I look forward to
assisting you on your quest to gain more strength, acquire
more energy or just lose a few unwanted pounds.

I believe a trainer should act as a catalyst to their clients,
finding what it takes to spark them to train. As a trainer one
should have excellent bedside manner with clients while
laying out realistic goals and providing ongoing
encouragement. Fitness is a way of life not just something
you do to get it out of the way.
Kami Wong is a native Sacramentan, who currently lives in
Elk Grove with her family. She works full-time in the Office of
Public Affairs for CalRecycle and works part-time as a
Fitness instructor for a couple gyms and Fusion Fitness &
Dance. Her passion for fitness started over 15 years ago,
but has only started instructing in 2008. She loves teaching
and enjoys passing along the excitement of getting and
keeping fit to others.  In addition to fitness, her other
passions are cooking, shopping and spending time with her
kids and their activities. Kami currently teaches three
formats, kickboxing, hip hop and Zumba. Currently only
teaches Hip Hop Hustle at Fusion.
My name is Stacie Morgenstern.  I love to exercise. I run
half marathons, take lots of different group fitness classes
including Zumba and RIPPED, strength training, boot camp.
 I recently decided to take my passion to the next level and
become on instructor and I love it.  I love to be able to take
my excitement for exercise and help other people get fit.  I
became certified in RIPPED last summer and hope to gain
more fitness knowledge and eventually teach more types of
classes.
I am married and have 3 kids, ages 6, 8 and 10. I have lived
in Elk Grove for almost 13 years.
Kim is the owner of Fusion fitness & dance. In addition to
running the studio, she is a busy wife & mom of two girls (13)
and (9). So that also makes her a soccer mom and softball
mom, depending on the season. In her spare time, which
isn't much she enjoys shopping, gardening, and hanging out
with her husband of 16 years and her two girls. She has
lived in the Elk Grove Community for 34 years and is
pleased to have a business that provides to the health and
well being of others.
