IE Zumba - Instructors

	Zumba for me is the stress-releaser, leave your troubles behind, no worries, let it all out, nobody cares how you look like, be sexy, be free & be just plainly YOU dance fitness workout. Zumba is “The Great Escape” from the traffic and hustle and bustle all day long at home or work…Its is the class where kids and grandparents and everybody in between can enjoy. Less focus on perfection on steps, more on fun and energy. Zumba has expanded rapidly in the IE, after bringing it to the Inland Empire in 2005. I’ve been trained by Beto himself and by some of the best Master Trainers in the company. I’ve had students who turned teachers that are now teaching at different gyms and community centers. Inland Empire Zumba has done many demos at different events all over the IE including County of San Bernardino events, Healthy Cities events, Relay for Life events, health fairs and dozens of others including private/corporate functions. Meet the IE Zumba team, join us and dance your troubles and inches away…..see you at our next class and BE FREE TO FREE YOURSELF!

I started Zumba because I love to dance…it’s easier on the body, especially the knees. I am able to get a full body workout without feeling like I am working out- I decided to become an instructor to continue the “party” but also to show that you don’t have to be in “perfect” shape to do this. Everyone can Zumba, from the young to the young at heart. I leave the classes feeling energized and ready to face the world. I wanted to share this wonderful feeling with EVERYONE so I am bringing Zumba to the High Desert … Let’s ditch the workout and JOIN the PARTY!!!

I started doing Zumba to get back in shape after having two children. I have a dancing background in hip-hop, but after taking a few years off to dedicate myself to my family, Zumba was an easy transition back into dancing and working out. I feel strong and energized when I'm doing Zumba, I have so much fun, and it never feels like I'm working out. I want to share these feelings with everyone. My dream was to be a fitness trainer, because I love being active and I want to help others to be their best selves by first getting in the best shape they can, and Zumba is helping me achieve that dream.

I was looking for physical activity that I do with my 6 year old daughter and 16 year old niece. I tried regular fitness classes and while they were good for serving the purposes of a good workout, I found myself bored, which also meant that more than likely I would not stick with the program. Since I have danced all of my life, I really wanted a fitness class that was more of " a party", with dancing and the ability to incorporate my own "flavor and vibe". That's when I found Zumba, and let me tell you I have been hooked ever since. After a year of taking classes, I became an instructor because I really want people to understand that (1) a workout does not have to be boring (2) you can bring your own style and flavor at your own level to the class and (3) you feel amazing which also helps with the total transformation of mind, body and soul.

Stop rationalizing and saying you can't, with Zumba, you can, can, can
(Si se puede!) (By the way, my 16 yr. old niece loves Zumba too…that's says a lot).
Ditch the workout and join the party!

I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life. 12 years ago, at the age of 45, I suffered a major shoulder injury and could not do cardio exercise for 2 years during the healing process. When I was finally able to move it all again, I began to dance my pant sizes off with dance exercise videos in my living room. In 1 year, I went from a size 22 to a size 7, and lost 80 pounds. I have struggled with maintaining my weight for the last 9 years. I have taken many, many years worth of private and group dance classes, beginning at the age of 4, including, but not limited to: Tap, jazz, ballet, modern dance, belly dance, country line dance, square dance, west coast swing, and Latin dance. I have also been an eager participant in group exercise classes in just about every venue over the years. To me, exercise without music is pure torture. I enjoy moving to a good beat. The International music of Zumba is very motivating. Zumba is so much fun, that I don't even have time to check out the clock to see how much time is left in class! Since adding Zumba into my workout schedule 3 months ago, I have lost 12 more pounds! The inches around my center have melted away just from the "hip shaking" of Zumba! It is much easier to be motivated in a group situation, just having a "cardio party" doing Zumba, rather than to be alone in your home with a video!!! Come on out and join the party!
