Zumba Love to all.

We hope you are all enjoying the winter sunshine & are looking forward to springtime, when you can start showing off your Zumbalicious bodies hidden underneath all those layers of clothes. It’s been a cold winter, but all those nights when you dragged yourself from in front of the heater to come to class will soon pay off, especially with summer not too far away.

It’s the season for all things sporty, with the Olympic Games starting this week. Get yourself into the mood by taking advantage of our monthly special, in honour of all our Aussie athletes who have worked so hard to make it to London to represent our great country! Should we start a petition to get Zumba^® listed as an official Olympic sport? I’m sure that if we did, our classes would take all the gold medals they had, especially for partying!!

Zumba^® Toning is certainly heating up as well, with Belinda sculpting your body into shape every Tuesday night. If you haven’t tried it already, come down for a free session & let us know what you think.

Thanks to all who braved the cold to come to our Fiesta L’amour party with Yannick & Russell. It was a great crowd, with lots of laughter & fun on the night. The boys would like to thank you & look forward to heading our way again soon… hopefully in warmer weather!!

Planning is underway for more events to bring you. We will let you know more once we have confirmed details so watch this space!

See you all in class!

Zumba^® Peace & Love,

Pierre

Jenny’s Story

I began Zumba® at a time when I was going through some changes in my life, which was a challenging time for me. I walked into Pierre’s Monday night Zumba® Fitness class and that was it, everything from that moment changed for me.

Whilst taking up Zumba® I have met so many beautiful people whom I now proudly call my friends. With Zumba®, there are no boundaries, no expectations or discrimination, no indifferences which makes us all unique and equal at the
same time.

No matter what fitness level, what age, what gender, what shape or size, we are all united by a common goal and that is to have fun. Having fun shaking our bodies to some great music, great atmosphere and lots of colour, lots of dance
moves and laughs along the way.

Since starting Zumba®, as well as Zumba® Toning I have stability, focus and more energy back into my life. I
have also lost weight and reshaped my body.

Spending some time with my husband, who also comes along with me to the classes, is great because we are
doing something together that we both enjoy.

Zumba® Fitness has been such a positive experience for me.

Thank you Pierre and my Zumba® family for giving me back my passion and zest for life.
