Which testimonial would get you to a Zumba class?

The Hot Womens (aka The Instructor Whose Butt Defies Physics)

You’d think being the one of the only guys in a Zumba class is awesome. You’d be right. I spent a lot of money playing an arcade game called Dance Dance Revolution – you know the one, colored arrows? and the four arrows on the floor you step on? Zumba is like playing DDR on random mode only instead of colored arrows you get to follow pretty ladies. =) It doesn’t get much better than that and they really make me feel welcome at every class.

The Weight Loss

When I started I weighed 450 and now I’m down to 350. That’s a lot of hours doing mind-numbingly boring cardio. In an hour of Zumba the average person burns 500-600 calories. At my current weight I’m burning 850-900 calories and I have the body bugg graphs to prove it. Since I started with at Fit on 1st doing Zumba I’ve lost another 15 lbs, inches all over, and I had a blast doing it!

Great Classes (aka The Gym We Do Not Speak Of)

I had been going to a local gym’s Zumba class and – whew, crowded. The instructors were great, but when you have to be careful not to move your arms away from your side so you don’t thwap your neighbor. Yes, it’s that bad. When I found Fit on 1st I was so excited! The class sizes are manageable and the energy is amazing. Each instructor adds their own flare to the class so you’re never bored. Two thumbs up – come give it a try! The first one’s free. =)

I decided to drag the TRX to the gym and got some pretty neat reactions. It worked out really well strung up from the bars. Forgive the close-up of my backside – I didn’t have a proper camera man.
