What is Zumba®?

The Zumba® programme is a Latin-inspired, dance-fitness class that incorporates Latin and international music and dance movements including: Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Reggaetton, Belly-Dancing, Flamenco, Samba, Hip-Hop, Cha-Cha & many more. The Zumba® programme is ‘exercise in disguise’. Participants are having so much fun they don’t realise they’re exercising! You don’t need to know how to dance to join in. The dances are designed with the beginner in mind and before you know it you’ll be swaying and shimmying away those calories and inches.

What is Zumba® Toning?

The Zumba® Toning program takes the original Zumba® dance-fitness class to the next level with the addition of lightweight toning sticks or dumbbells.

The benefits of Zumba® Toning includes:

  • Improved muscle/tone definition
  • Improved muscle balance and posture
  • Improved bone density, prevention of osteoporosis
  • Increased caloric expenditure – weight loss or management
  • Improved neuromuscular function

I will be starting a new FabAbs class on Mondays straight after Zumba. This will be a 30 minute class to work on our core muscles and will cost only £1.00.  This will be a totally different workout to Zumba - good tried & tested exercises to strengthen and tone the abdominals and back muscles.

From April I will offer a 20 class pass for £50, this works out at only £2.50 per class.  This is well worth buying if you come to my classes more than twice per week. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know how to dance to do Zumba®?
No not at all. The dances are choreographed with steps that beginners can follow easily. The more you do Zumba® the easier it gets. No-one gets it perfect first time – it really doesn’t matter. Just follow my lead and feel the music.

Do I need a partner?
No, but you are welcome to bring along a friend.

What do I wear?
Usual comfortable fitness clothes are fine. However, you must wear trainers or dance trainers; preferably trainers that do not have too much grip so you can twist easily whilst dancing. Bare feet and wearing other shoe types is not recommended. Please speak to me if you are unsure about suitable footwear – your safety is important to me.

Is it true that you can burn 1000 calories during a Zumba® class?
This will depend on your existing fitness levels and body type. The more effort you put into the class the more calories you will burn. You can expect to burn between 400 and 600 calories. However, you will be working your cardiovascular system which will have a great impact on achieving your fitness/health goals.

I want to do the Zumba® Toning but I don’t want to have bulky muscles?
Don’t worry the toning sticks are light and the programme is designed for weights less than 3lb. You would have to work very hard with heavy weights and follow a very strict diet to have a body builder’s physique. The Zumba® toning programme is designed to sculpt and tone not to bulk up.

I don’t have any toning sticks can I still do the class?
Participants can buy the toning sticks if they want and I sell them at a very reasonable price. I also have a supply of light dumbbells that you can borrow for the session if you do not have any to bring with you. The toning sticks are recommended as you can shake them whilst exercising and make a rattling sound which adds to the fun of Zumba® toning!
