About Yeli
Yelitza Garcia, #coachYeli, began dancing at the age of 4 in her native Venezuela when she started taking jazz and tap lessons. At the age of 6, she took for the first time an aerobics class, and seven years later, when she was 13, she gave her first fitness
class.
Since then, she has taught aerobic classes, cardio dance, step, Bootcamp, and body design classes, as well as Latin dance, tap dance and flamenco classes. She moved to Montreal in 2009 and in a short time she managed to build a name for herself with several dance schools and fitness centers in Montreal, like the Sports Centre of the UQAM, the San Tropez Latin Dance School, and the Sports Centre of the University of Montreal, among others.
She became a Master Trainer in 2016, which allows her to certify other fitness instructors to teach new workouts. Currently, she’s workout alongside Sh1ft Fitness and Michele Park from The Choreography Club.
In 2015 opened her own Fitness Center called Mambo Fit Studio and she has now expanded her offer to not only
individuals but also to corporations, where she aims to help to boost the productivity of employees through healthy habits
and improved fitness levels.

Yelitza Garcia is an exceptional trainer and person overall. Her classes are super fun and energetic and she really knows a lot about the body. She will always tell you how to modify movements to fit every fitness level and is extremely encouraging. Her music taste is really fun so it just feels like you're dancing.
I recommend Yelitza as a fitness coach 10 out of 10. She is very approachable, will answer your questions in a timely manner and really and truly cares about all her students.
Her attitude, positivity and inclusion have been a driving force in my fitness journey and I am so thankful she turned to online classes when we could not go to the gym.
Yelitza is an awesome trainer. Her energy is contagious and makes exercise fun. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of skills in dance and fitness. Love her optimism, cheerfulness and motivation. I highly recommend to follow her classes.
