Another new addition to our Stroller Strides instructor team is Zuz who recently obtained her fitness certification to teach with FIT4MOM SF Peninsula. Zuz has always been passionate about sports and fitness and since childhood competed in track & field and varsity volleyball. She loves biking, hiking, pickleball, yoga and running. A daughter to a high school teacher, Zuz has a passion for education, community, and public service, which is reflected in her numerous volunteering experiences and two master’s degrees.

Zuz moved to the US in 2015 to obtain her degree in Public Administration. Soon after graduation, she started a corporate job in Grand Rapids, MI where she rented an apartment with a guy, desperate to find accommodation on budget. The housemate soon became a soulmate and they married in 2019, welcoming their first child, Lea, in 2021.

Zuz joined her first Stroller Strides class when Lea was 6 weeks old. The community of fellow moms, the friendliness of the instructors, and the post-workout magic feeling has been enough to get her hooked. When she’s not teaching, she’s getting her fix by attending the 6 am online Body Boost classes.
