Tell Me More About Zumba

What is Zumba?

Zumba is made to feel more like a party than a fitness class and that’s the beauty of it! Essentially, Zumba is dance-based fitness. It’s roots are Latin American. The four main Zumba rhythms are salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton, but classes include other styles too, from bhangra to jive to hip hop, disco and more. There’s something for everybody and it doesn't matter if you think you've got two left feet. Zumba isn’t taught like a traditional dance class. The moves are repeated according to the pattern of each song and we don't change all our tracks at once, but instead introduce one or two new songs every couple of weeks. This way you get to know the music and the moves as the weeks go on, allowing you to become more confident and increase your level of fitness.

Everybody is welcome!

Zumba is very inclusive and our classes cater for all levels, from new boogiers to seasoned shimmiers. You don’t need to get all the moves all the time and there’s no pressure to throw the most perfect shapes, just move at your own comfortable level. If you can only follow the feet movements for the first few sessions, then add the arm movements later, that’s absolutely fine. If your knees don’t come up so high, no problem. There’s no such thing as a mistake in our classes, only accidental solos! If you turn the ‘wrong’ way, you can be sure there’ll be someone facing you with a smile! 
‍
Zumba seems to attract the happiest, friendliest bunch, so whether you attend solo or with a pal, you’ll be greeted by some of the loveliest people and be made to feel part of the group immediately.

Please note, you must be aged 16 years+ to attend our classes.

How is Zumba Gold different to Zumba?

Zumba Gold is a less intense, lower impact version of Zumba and tends to be popular with ages 50+, although everyone is very welcome. It’s ideal for those returning to exercise or people suffering a medical condition that means they require less intense activity.

What is Seated Zumba Gold?

Seated Zumba Gold is just that; a Zumba Gold class whilst sitting in an arm-free chair. You will dance merengue, salsa, bhangra, cumbia, reggaeton, jive...and the list goes on! It's lively and uplifting, works your arms, legs and more. Seated Zumba Gold is ideal for those who require less intense activity whilst sitting and love a proper boogie!

What should I wear for a class and what should I bring with me?

Dress to work out in comfortable, cool clothing. For the gals, a supportive sports bra is recommended. Your trainers should also be supportive, with flat, smoother soles. You should avoid running or cross training footwear, as they are made for forward motion, rather than twisting and turning. Bring water and a small towel.

About the Instructor

Hi! I'm Sam.

I believe that in order to stick with exercise, you need to choose something you enjoy; an activity/activities that you're so in to that you don’t spend a good portion of the session clock watching. It’s important that your exercise gives you a sense of achievement, takes your mind away from the everyday things and leaves you smiling and energised. Zumba does that for me and many others!
