The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others. We are made up of a community of driven and educated motivators who constantly strive to see the best in others.

We are proud and honored to share with you this week’s Ambassador of the Week Feature with Bella Banuls.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I have been cheering in competitions both as an Allstar and recreation cheerleader since I was 3, and I think I was 8 or 9 when I choreographed a routine for my current town’s Cubs football cheerleaders. I also choreographed a routine last year for Sacred Heart school’s basketball cheerleaders.
Last year, I started coaching this amazing group of special needs kids, most of them older than me, and that is by far my passion! Sparks is a special needs competition team that travels NJ performing at competitions. I choreograph the routines, pick the 8 counts of songs, pick transition words teach and perform with them!
It’s a rewarding experience for me because cheer is my passion and Sparks competitive special needs cheerleaders are my life!
We also give back by doing community service. This year we are affiliating and hosting a band-aid drive and a food drive for HUMC Tomorrow’s Children, a town clean up in the town we practice in, and Sacred Heart church food drive.
I also started a special needs beach ball dancercise class and a special needs track team! Cheerleading has changed my life and I hope I can help change our special needs cheerleaders lives.
I am so excited and honored to be a CHEERFIT ambassador and I plan on helping my team become healthy through fitness and nutrition thanks to CHEERFIT! ❤️
