INDUSTRY REGISTRATION

Hello! I'm Mary Jane Ike, and I live in Kensington, VIC. I've been a ZIN™ Member since May 2017 and I absolutely love teaching Zumba classes. The reason is simple: Every class feels like a party! I am currently licensed to teach Zumba, Zumba® Toning, Zumba® Step.

I was a stay at home mum with two young children. My local gym had a maildrop special on. I ended up joining and after a year thought I would do a course so I could learn more and to use my brain as well. I qualified in 1996 and have been active in the fitness industry ever since.

My passion for health and fitness has continued throughout my life. It began on a professional level before there was an accredited course available to gym instructors. Most of all, I love helping others reach their own personal health and fitness goals. Special interests include nutrition, resistance training, postural assessment and functional movement, and dance. In the past I have also gained experience working for medical specialists, and, in the golf industry.

I am a Aqua instructor and a Group fitness instructor my favourite class is Gymstick

I commenced in the Fitness industry in 1996 as a fitness instructor and then added Aqua Aerobics in 1998. In 1996 I also became a Les Mills Pump instructor teaching at various gyms. In 2010 I switched over to BTS (Body Training Solutions) now known as MOSSA, teaching step and their version of Pump called Power. In November 2013 I trained with Schwinn Cycle to obtain my freestyle cycle certification. So over the 22 years of teaching I am experienced in and can teach: Aqua, aqua for older adults, all freestyle aerobics including step, pre-choreography bar and step class, cycle, seniors, Stretch, school kids, boxing, fitball/swissball, X-fit and circuit classes. I was also the Fitness co-ordinator from 2006 to 2015 with V & R Fitness (V & R Gym) until they closed so have experience with timetabling, organising covers and the hiring of instructors.

Hi, I’m Jo — a Group Fitness Manager, trainer, and lifelong believer in the power of movement. I got into the fitness industry to help people discover what they’re truly capable of, to watch confidence grow, and to empower others to become the strongest, happiest version of themselves. My love for group fitness runs deep. There’s something special about the energy in a room full of people all working toward their goals together — the music, the community, the shared grit. Strength and interval training are my passion, not just for the physical results but for the way they transform your mindset and spark real change. When I’m not coaching or creating workouts, you’ll probably find me with a Boost “Gym Junkie” shake in hand, chasing my own fitness goals, or enjoying a game of tennis when life allows. Helping others believe in themselves is why I do what I do. Fitness changed my life — and now I get to help change others’.

I work with older adults that have problems such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Parkinson’s.

I have worked in the fitness industry since 2003 and have spent more than two decades helping people improve their health, fitness and quality of life. Throughout my career I have worked as a Personal Trainer, Business Coach, Mentor and Educator, supporting both clients and fitness professionals to achieve meaningful and sustainable results. My experience spans body composition, strength training, behaviour change, habit development and long-term health improvement. In addition to working directly with clients, I currently mentor and coach personal trainers across Australia, helping them develop successful and sustainable businesses within the fitness industry. I believe great coaching goes beyond exercise programs and focuses on creating practical solutions that people can maintain for life.
