Leona is an experienced instructor who has taught almost every popular format in the last 20 plus years – from step aerobics and kickboxing to group weight lifting. Her favorite formats include strength training and core conditioning.

Leona feels that all of us are athletes at some level. She strives to make each class fun, challenging, and efficient. She wants each participant to leave class feeling stronger and more confident, and to carry that confidence to other parts of their daily lives.

Leona feels that exercise is an important life-long commitment. She has continued to teach while raising a family and pursing a demanding career. She has worked as Registrar of Voters for DC and an Assistant General Manager of Metro. When Leona is not teaching group exercise, she is the Executive Director of the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District.
