Deborah K Brown
Licensed Kangoo Jumps Instructor
Kangoo Power & Kangoo Dance
I have a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Purdue University Indianapolis in Computer Technology and for the past almost 30 years, I have been in the Computer profession, however, I have always had a love for fitness and wellness and that love grew each year from over 20 years ago when I first began working out. Because of this, I was asked to chair the wellness program where I currently work. I love public speaking and putting together presentations. I presented on wellness to the entire organization for first and second shifts every month during departmental meetings. During my four-year tenure and leadership of the wellness program, I implemented many wellness initiatives and became the voice of wellness for the entire organization.
I love working out (weights as well as cardio) and have run twelve half marathons and competed and placed 5th in the 2012 NPC Figure competition at the age of 48. I have been licensed to teach Zumba since March 2011, Pound Fitness Since 2015, and STRONG by Zumba since 2016 and have taught as my own entrepreneur (Dreams Come True – Fitness & Events, LLC), in a Corporate setting and currently at a fitness facility. I have also taught many, many body sculpting and Extreme Fitness (HIIT) classes.
I discovered my very first Kangoo Jumps class in March of 2017. I fell in love with it instantly. There was and is no other fitness class like it. The feeling of the bounce in those boots was so different. I found myself craving for more and more. At one point, I was taking four classes a week. It was this love for Kangoo Jumps and the programs it offers that caused me to obtain my Kangoo Jumps license in Kangoo Dance and Kangoo Power September 2018 right after obtaining my Athletic Fitness Association of America (AFAA) group fitness certification. I am so very excited to be able to offer Kangoo Jumps and Kangoo Power to you, a different kind of fitness.
One of the things you can expect from me as your fitness instructor is my commitment and dedication to help you reach your fitness goals. My greatest reward is helping others through fitness and wellness. I have taught well over 1,000 students since joining the fitness industry 250 of those students were during my first year ever teaching a fitness class in 2011. I have helped many, many people lose weight, gain muscle, increase their cardio endurance, and reach their fitness and wellness goals.
I can teach to all fitness levels using progressions and regressions as needed. I understand the younger generation because I have been there and I also have millennial children. I understand the middle-age group because at the age of 54 years old, I am there now, and with a 94-year-old dad and an 83-year-old Zumba student, I understand the older population.
