Team

My name is Michelle and I am a Zumba instructor. As you can imagine, I have a passion for dance and have been teaching for four years. I love a variety of music and rhythms, and I will teach you the basics, then build upon those with intensity and fitness variations. My goal is to make you forget you are working out; but it’s also my job to make sure you know by the end of class that you did work! Zumba has a “sweaty, happy” vibe that I love, and an attitude that everyone CAN dance!  

But if you don’t like to dance (?), I also teach Strong by Zumba®, which is a high intensity, interval training format. You will punch, kick, do some burpees and a few (!) squats, pushups, and crunches. Every move is driven by the beat, so there’s no counting reps. Just when you can’t do one more, the music and moves change to focus on a different muscle group.

Both formats are fun and challenging—I hope you will join the party!

Hello everyone, my name is Jessica Green. I am 37 years old, born and raised in Southern California. In my free time, I love to spend my time with my husband and 5 kids, work on my mini truck, and be outdoors. Fitness has been a key part of my life for many years now, and I am very happy to help inspire the people of the Mojave area!

My name is Clarissa Navarrete and I am the facility manager at Mojave Fitness Center. I’ve been a part of this gym since May 2022 and my goal has always been to make everyone feel welcome here! Kicking off your fitness journey can be intimidating but I hope to create an inviting atmosphere and welcoming environment for anyone who comes through the center doors. 

I plan on beginning to teach Yoga at the start of 2023 and hope to introduce others to the practice.

When I’m not at Mojave Fitness Center, I am an animal lover and love to spend time with my cat and dogs.
