Madalene Aponte
Bio
I’m Madalene Aponte. Originally from Puerto Rico. I’ve been teaching group fitness for over 30 years and I truly believe in the “magic” of group exercise.
I’m also a personal trainer and fitness educator. Teaching, training and helping develop instructors and programs is my passion. I’m a former Olympic athlete in TaeKown-do and I’ve been a Lead Master Trainer for Zumba Fitness for over 14 years. I believe exercise should be fun, effective and sustainable. This is why I teach several forms of fitness and LOVE to teach dance and strength training. I’m a proud mother of 3 and an amateur Master’s 50+ Bikini Bodybuilder.
