Meet our newest water aerobics instructor!

I believe in building and giving back to the community. I've been dancing my whole life, have a passion for teaching, and living an active lifestyle. My name is Jeanette "Sunflower" Martin, the newest addition to the City of El Cerrito Water Aerobics Instructors team! Having taught a wide variety of Group Exercise classes for over ten years at California Colleges and Universities, fitness facilities, and more, along with being an educator for over thirty years to Preschool through College students, I look forward to sharing fun ways to stay active and my love for fitness. Outside of teaching, I can be found exploring the outdoors, swimming, hiking, practicing yoga, meditation, photography, traveling, and spending time with my family. After participants have a great workout in my classes, they feel empowered to keep being their best selves, living a healthy lifestyle, and feeling closer to their fitness goals. My passion for wellness, creating diverse active communities, and fun environments have people coming back for more. I'm excited to share my wonderful talents, skills, and experience with the fitness community here at the City of El Cerrito Recreation Center. I look forward to seeing you in my classes soon!
