Welty Park (tennis court)

Bio: Hi! I’m Simon, a passionate pickleball player with a love for helping people of all ages and skill levels get into this fast-growing, fun, and social sport. I started playing pickleball a year and quickly fell in love with the game’s mix of strategy, movement, and community. Whether you’re a total beginner looking to learn the basics, or someone with experience hoping to sharpen your skills, I focus on building strong fundamentals in a relaxed, encouraging environment. My lessons emphasize proper technique, court positioning, strategy, and—most importantly—making the game fun and accessible.

Bio: Hi! I’m Geri, a Spanish court interpreter, born in Teaneck, New Jersey but with my heart and family in Argentina, after having lived there for over 15 years and immersing myself in its vibrant culture. Alongside my interpreting career, I've pursued my passion for music, mastering the piano and accordion. I play with the renowned rock band Rockin’ 1000 whenever I can! Fitness is another cornerstone of my life. I became a Zumba Fitness Instructor in 2010 and have expanded my repertoire to include Group Fitness, Pickleball, Cycling, Aqua Fitness, Hydrorevolution, Pound Fitness, and various other specialties. I'm dedicated to bringing the joy of movement to my students, reflecting the diverse experiences and cultures that shape my life. Now settled in New York, I've found the perfect balance between my love for language, music, and fitness. Join me in one of my classes, and let's move, dance, sweat, and celebrate life together!
