Coach Cass
Strength Training Expert
After losing 50 pounds and changing my lifestyle, my mission is to help others live happier and healthier. I believe that physical, mental, and spiritual health is key to overall wellbeing. I’m your biggest cheerleader, always urging you to see the glass half full! As a “danceaholic,” I love incorporating fitness into my journey, especially with Kukuwa.
Coach Kree
Pre & Postnatal fitness expert
I understand the challenges of motherhood and finding time for self-care. It can feel impossible, but you can reclaim your body and sense of self without sacrificing time with loved ones. Kukuwa Mama & Baby is perfect for all fitness levels, both pre and postnatal, and is a family-friendly activity. Dancing during my pregnancies has made music and dance a part of my children's lives.

Happiness Prescription
We know how it feels to be caught in a cycle where joy seems like something you have to earn—through hard work, achievement, or external approval. But what if joy isn’t something you find or fight for? What if it’s something you already have, waiting to be uncovered?
At Kukuwa® Fitness, we believe that joy is your birthright. In African culture, movement isn’t just exercise—it’s an expression of life itself. Music, dance, and community aren’t luxuries; they’re essentials, woven into every celebration, milestone, and moment of connection.
This vibrant, cultural lens transforms how we approach fitness. It reminds us that movement isn’t a chore—it’s a celebration and the key to unlocking energy, confidence, and freedom
We’re here to show you that joy doesn’t have to wait. It’s already within you, ready to be awakened through rhythm, connection, and movement.
Our Promise to You
We promise to help you feel empowered, confident, and joyful in every Kukuwa session and in your daily life. We embrace authenticity over perfection, making fitness feel like freedom instead of an obligation.
