In the fall of 2009, she experienced her first ZUMBA fitness class. Immediately, Tory was addicted. She attended ZUMBA classes at least four times a week and decided it was time to take the next challenge. She was certified in March, 2010 and has bee instructing a few times a week ever since. Aside from teaching and ZUMBA, Tory enjoys spending time with family and friends, running and gardening.
