If you're looking for a fun fitness class in Kent - look no further than ZUMBA®What is ZUMBA®?
Zumba® is a latin-inspired dance fitness class and is like no other exercise class you will ever experience. The class is run in a party-like atmosphere and you do not need to know how to dance in order to succeed at Zumba®. It is suitable for everyone, regardless of background and fitness experience… and you don’t need a partner! It is fun, different, easy and effective.
The workout combines fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body in an aerobic/fitness fashion to achieve a unique blended balance of cardio and muscle-toning benefits. It incorporates Latin and international music and dance movements, so you can expect a whole mix of styles such as merengue, salsa, cha cha cha, samba, cumbia, reggaeton, lambada and even rock & roll, country and belly dance from your class.
ZUMBA® was discovered by “Beto” Perez in his native country of Columbia in the mid-1990s and can currently be found in more than 40,000 locations in 75 countries worldwide.
Only certified Zumba® instructors are permitted to run classes. You should check the status of your instructor by visiting www.zumba.com and you should also read the following page BEFORE participating.
Zumba® Toning is a fantastic way to burn even more calories during your workout. The class involves the added use of specially designed maraca-like toning sticks or hand weights that weigh between 1 and 3 lbs. Due to the nature of this class, it may not be suitable for everyone to use weights. Although the class is designed for the use of weights, anyone suffering from high blood pressure or joint problems should not use them. Weights are NOT compulsory and if you prefer not to use the specially designed Zumba® Toning sticks, you can use your own hand weights provided you follow the guidelines listed by the Instructor. Please ensure you have read all the information here first.
Classes run every Wednesday at 6pm in Halling near Snodland, although some numbers will run on the monthly Party nights.
Toning sticks are also available to order. They are currently £15 per pair and must be ordered directly from Gemma and collected in class. As they are imported from The Netherlands, the price might be higher if you wait to order in the next batch, due to the Euro conversion. Toning sticks are available only to any of the participants of Gemma's classes and you should e-mail gemma@zumbakent.co.uk to place an order. Sticks will also only be sold to participants who have been approved to use weights.
You MUST be aged 16 or over to attend this class due to insurance purposes.
Although Zumbatomic® is an international success, it was officially introduced to the United Kingdom in 2010.
