Meet our team:
Shari Gillies is an amazing Zumba Instructor. She started attending classes with ZBN , growing to love the rigor of a great Zumba class. She gained her qualifications as a Zumba Instructor and has gone on to receive specialist qualifications in Core and Strong disciplines. Shari is often referred to as our little “pocket rocket”. She loves to work out hard and will inspire you to stretch yourself further with each workout you attend. Shari loves putting modern beats and Zumba® moves together. She has been teaching Zumba for 7 years.
Shari recently received her Degree in Creative and Professional Writing. We are sure that she will soon be known, not only for her premier Zumba classes, but as a published and renowned author.
Sharyn Donoghue has been teaching Zumba since 2009 and was one of the first instructors in QLD. She opened ZBN Studios (Zumba Brisbane North) in 2010 and introduced a number of local instructors into the business of running fitness classes. She stepped back in 2017, now only running sculpt and tone classes and sometimes step classes, but you will regularly see her as a class participant and jumping up to lead a few tracks each session. She is a qualified secondary Teacher, a dancer, a Fitness Trainer (PT) and Zumba® Instructor. She has completed Zumba® Training 1 and 2, Zumbatomic®, Zumba Toning®, Zumba Core and Zumba Step training.
Sharyn has had 17 years experience in the Fitness Industry; but has never had as much fun as she has when teaching Zumba®.
Belinda Cunningham – Yoga captivated Belinda from her very first sip when she was introduced to yoga at High school. Over the years she has found herself continuously being drawn back to her mat and enjoying the benefits of increased strength and flexibility and that feeling of relaxation and calm that she calls the ‘yoga glow’ after a class.
These days she also appreciates the deeper reflection and awareness that the practice allows as it draws the attention inward to a profound mind body connection.
Belinda has spent the past 20 years in education, so it was only natural that her love for educating and passion for yoga eventually combined when she completed her 350 hour Yoga Teacher Training.
Her classes are alignment focused and have a functional approach to cater for all levels of experience and flexibility with options offered to make yoga accessible for all bodies as every body is different and unique in its own way.
If you have any questions please ask her after class as she enjoys discussing all things yoga.
Ditch the workout and join in the excitement with Zumba with Shari/ZBN Studios!
