Lets face it, working out can be healthy, rewarding, beneficial…
working out can be lots of things, but its never been known to be
much fun… UNTIL NOW!

Zumba fuses hypnotic musical rhythms and tantalizing moves to
create a dynamic workout system designed to be FUN and EASY TO
DO!

Our goal is simple: We want people to want to work out, to love
working out, to get hooked. By integrating Zumba into everyday life
individuals may achieve long term benefits while experiencing an
absolute blast in one exhilarating hour of caloric burning, heart
racing, muscle pumping, body energizing movements meant to

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow
rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt
your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and
International zest into the mix and you’ve got ZUMBA!

In the past years Zumba has become nothing short of a revolution.
Coining the concept of “fitness-party” and making fitness fun,
Zumba has spread like wild-fire, and has positioned itself as the
single most influential movement in the industry of fitness.

As of February 08, Zumba has sold over 3 million DVD’s, accrued
more than 11,000 instructors in thirty-five countries, and has a
whopping 2 million students practicing Zumba on a weekly basis.

Why? Because it’s the best party around.

While Zumba embraces all the fundamental principles of fitness, the extraordinary secret behind Zumba is how Zumba magically motivates the body to efficiently burn calories, effectively tone all muscle groups, incorporate full range of motion, and improve the cardiovascular system.  Fun and music are the two special motivational ingredients.  Utilizing the natural beat, tempo, and music transitions, the Zumba dances seamlessly flow from one toning, strengthening, or cardio move into the next.  Participants are constantly engaged and entertained with the variety of rhythms including salsa, merengue, samba, belly dancing, cumbia, flamenco, reggaeton, and more!  Zumba breaks away from the typical 32-count aerobic format and uses the passion of the music as it was meant to be experienced.  Even those with two left feet are successful in a Zumba class because of the natural flow of the simple steps that radiate though the body in synch with the music.

Zumba is recognized by the world’s leading fitness educators, including AFAA, ACE, and CanFitPro. With sanctioned training programs in countries like China, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Venezuela, Zumba is taking the world by storm.  Everyone is invited, from teens to seniors, and both women and men.  Everybody loves Zumba.

Inspired international music and dance steps create a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness
system.

Non-verbal cuing allows the class to feel the music and movements rather than
worrying about what the instructor is going to yell at them next! It’s a fluid program.

Zumba is easy.

Weight loss is a two-stage process. For initial weight loss you need a weekly energy expenditure (exercise) of 1,000 kcals. To maintian weight loss you need to use up over 2,000 kcals per week.

Maintaining weight loss is a lifelong process. In order to control and manage weight indefinitely you need to make lifestyle changes and exercise regularly.

Change your eating habits rather than going on a diet. Start exercising.

Higher levels of regular activity are associated with lower mortality rates for both older and younger adults (Paffenbarger and colleagues, 1986, Blair et al, 1996)

Cardiovascular diseases

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality, particularly coronary heart disease mortality (Morris et al., 1953; Morris et al., 1966) . Physical activity also reduces the risk of high blood pressure

Cancer

Regular physical activity is associated with a decreased risk of colon cancer. There is some evidence that inactivity may increase the risk of breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and melanoma

Osteoarthritis

Physical activity is not associated with joint damage or the development of osteoarthritis. In those with osteoarthritis, exercise training can reduce impairment and improve function

Osteoporosis

Weight-bearing physical activity can reduce the loss of bone mass associated with age

Falling

Physical activity and strength training likely reduce the risk of falling in older adults

Obesity

Inactivity contributes to the development of obesity. Physical activity may favourably affect body fat distribution. Regular activity protects from cardiovascular disease, even in the absence of weight loss (Saris et al., 2003)

Increase lean tissue and therefore basal metabolic rate which could improve body composition

Mental health

Physical activity appears to relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve mood. Regular physical activity may reduce the risk of developing depression.

Health-related quality of life

Physical activity appears to improve quality of life by enhancing psychological well-being and by improving physical function in persons compromised by poor health. This includes everyday functions such as lifting, carrying, climbing stairs and standing from a chair unaided
