ABOUT ME

Meet Your Fit & Fabulous Coach

Hi, I’m MaShelle Dean—but you can call me Miko! 👋🏽


I’m an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor, certified PiYo and Turbo Kick instructor, content creator, and the founder of the Jiggle Free Zone Online Fitness Studio.


Confidence has always been my mission. Whether I’m helping you find the perfect pair of jeans or leading a PiYo class, my goal is to help women over 40 look good, feel strong, and live confidently.


I’ve been helping women get stronger, healthier, and more confident since 2010. For eight years, I taught PiYo and Turbo Kick classes at the Buckhead YMCA in Atlanta before taking my classes completely online so women could work out with me anytime, anywhere.


Today, I’m passionate about helping women over 40 discover that fitness doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can actually be fun.


Whether you’re getting back into exercise, looking for low-impact workouts, or simply miss the energy of your favorite group fitness classes, you’re in the right place.


I live in Atlanta with my husband, Ron, and when I’m not teaching classes, you’ll probably find me creating fashion content, testing beauty products, or encouraging women to embrace this season of life with confidence and style.


MY FITNESS JOURNEY

It Didn’t Happen Overnight


My transformation story isn’t dramatic—it started with one simple decision.


In 2009, I got tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and committed to exercising consistently and making healthier food choices.


Five months later…


✨ I lost 30 pounds.


✨ Built lean muscle.


✨ Dropped four dress sizes.


But the biggest transformation wasn’t physical.


I discovered confidence, discipline, and a love for fitness that completely changed my life.


That journey inspired me to become a certified fitness instructor and eventually create the Jiggle Free Zone, where I’ve spent years helping women discover that movement is something to enjoy—not something to dread.



LITTLE FUN FACT...


One of My Proudest Fitness Moments


One of the highlights of my fitness career was being featured in the ChaLEAN Extreme infomercial.


As a longtime fan of Chalene Johnson and the programs that inspired so many of us, it was an unforgettable experience and a reminder that hard work truly pays off.


Today, I’m honored to continue teaching the PiYo and Turbo Kick classes that so many women still know and love.



MY PHILOSOPHY


Strong Looks Good on Every Woman.


At Jiggle Free Zone, we don’t chase perfection. We celebrate progress.


Fitness isn’t about punishing your body. It’s about honoring it.


It’s about having the energy to enjoy life, the strength to do the things you love, and the confidence that comes from taking care of yourself.


No matter where you’re starting, I’m here to cheer you on every step of the way.
