Melissa Taylor

Melissa Taylor, Instructor & Customer Service Representative

Melissa has grown up with a passion for cheerleading and gymnastics. She started off in a competitive environment, being an all star cheerleader. She then continued cheering at Simi High and soon thereafter started teaching at Fun & Fit. “I love kids and have since I was young and took care of my cousins”.

Melissa has been teaching for several years and has learned patience and understanding working with kids. It has made her into the caring individual she is today. She enjoys the physical aspect of gymnastics but it’s the self confidence it brings out in children that she really fell in love with. “Watching them walk off the floor after classes with a smiling face is all I need to make my day. Building their confidence builds my passion to teach”, says Melissa.

Melissa has plans of attending college to major in business, and to continue being a Fun & Fit Instructor as long as she can.
