LINDA KING

When my younger brother died from complications with obesity, I made it my mission to help anyone willing to take the first step to better health. I went to school for a year to become a certified personal trainer and nutritional counselor. I’m also CPR/1st Aid certified for humans and animals. I learned Zumba from the ground up, step by step. It took a few weeks, but with each week, the steps got easier. Finally, one day I found myself smiling and rockin’ it out. That’s when I realized I was bitten by this fun, exciting dance-fitness system. I hold a Master’s Degree and Theatre/Scriptwriting and I teach at Bucks County Community College; study Wing Chun Kung Fu, love to ride both my mountain bike and Honda Shadow, and just got into kayaking.
