I started Zumba about 1 year ago. My husband had passed away 2years ago and I was going through alot of depression. I had felt so lifeless. I was struggling with even leaving my house. I was finding hard to even get myself to work in the morning. My daughter encouraged me to go to a Zumba class she was a part of. After only the very first time I began to feel a little happiness return. I had genuinely enjoyed myself for the first time in a long time. Shortly after this, I had the desire to get out again. I returned every Thursday without fail. Zumba inspired me to begin to work out again! Within several short months, with the combination of a better diet, walking and Zumba I lost 21 pounds! Along with this I regained my self esteem, good health and a few great new dance moves. Zumba has continued to be a great time for me and I recommend it to all and everyone. Its really helped shape up and with that I'm even in a new relationship. Thanks to good times in Zumba!!!!

"Zumba is a great workout but most of all it's FUN.  I hate the Gym, but I know I can stick to this workout!  It gives me great excuse to hang out and bond with my girlfriends.  THis is not a regimented workout.  You don't do 15 reps of this and  8 sets of that.  You swing your hips, shake your rear and just smile and laugh with the instructors and the other class mates.  I tell everyone about Tanja's and Kiki's class.  There is such a wonderful mix of people.  Anyone can come and not feel self conscious.  We can each show off how beautiful we are in different ways!

"I have always wanted to dance, and Zumba is a great way to learn dance moves while getting an awesome workout! I feel young and excited to exercise. I was bored with my exercise routine and Zumba is something new and different for me.  After a long day of taking care of three girls I look forward to something totally different and cool – and this class is it!!! I love all of it!"

"It is so ,much fun and completely energizes me – it is a total stress reliever!  I have started to feel more comfortable about my body and it’s curves.  My husband is enjoying the changes too! It is a million times more fun than running on a treadmill in my basement alone.  I sweat 10x more during Zumba and I have a great time.  It is just such a fun workout and the late evening classes work so well for moms. Zumba gets me moving and it makes me smile!"

"Althought I am new to Zumba, I have taken a few different lessons at the gym and have to say that your class is the most enjoyable! You make it so much fun - high energy,  fun music - your enthusiasm truly shows your passion for Zumba! I have noticed a definite difference in my posture, stomach, muscles, and have a totally great attitude all day Saturday after class (even if I am exhausted). I absolutely love the class!  Thank you for a fun class that I look forward to every Saturday (my husband thanks you also.)" M.R. Northern VA

"My poor eliptical machine no longer gets used because I can't make myself get back on it.  Zumba is so much more fun than any other workout I have ever done!  Instead of the dread I feel when I know the day is going to include a trip to the gym, I wake up on the morning of Zumba class and start anxiously counting the hours before class starts."
