Here's me & Beto at the 2009 Zumba Convention in Orlando this past Labour Day weekend.  The Zumbathon was the best! 

The Canadian Zumba Instructors in their red & white, at the 2009 Convention in Orlando.  What a great group!

Me & Jani Roberts, who with fitness expert Linda Shelton, led the Zumba Toning workshop.  What pros!
 
Gina Grant led a killer Zumba Hip Hop Workshop at Canfitpro - you can tell by my hair!
  
Josie Gardiner and Joy Prouty, the fabulous Zumba Gold instructors at last year's convention in Orlando! 
I had a chance to see fitness guru Kathy Smith twice, last year at Canfitpro and this year at the Zumba convention - she is a Zumba fan and a huge inspiration!
 

 
I'M OFF TO THE ZUMBA CONVENTION!
NO CLASSES AUGUST 20-SEPTEMBER 6!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer, enjoying the great weather and getting some well deserved vacation time! Congrats to all the peeps who attended summer classes regularly and to the new participants who have joined Zumba over the past couple of months!
 


Note: No Zumba classes August 20-Sept 6!

We are taking a two week break in our schedule as I will be attending the Zumba Convention in Orlando - a great opportunity to participate in some specialty workshops and meet other Zumba instructors from around the world.  This is a wonderful time where I get to be the student and then bring back what I've learned to all of you.  Be sure to join us in September - we will rock it with new moves and new tunes!


FALL SCHEDULE STARTS SEPTEMBER 7!

After Labour Day it's back to school or work and back to our regular schedule!  We will offer 8 Zumba classes per week (regular Zumba and Zumba Toning) at the Burlington Fitness & Racquet Club, so lots of choice for you to get back into (or begin!) your fitness routine! Check the class schedule page for times, rates and location information.

SO WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT ZUMBA?

Let's face it, you know you need to get active for your health and appearance, but many people find exercising to be a chore! The key to success when starting an exercise program is to FIND SOMETHING YOU REALLY ENJOY AND STICK WITH IT! 

There is nothing like a live Zumba class with its party atmosphere to really motivate you to burn calories, tone your body, work your core and make you sweat! Where else can you shake it, pump it, and holla in Spanish with a bunch of fun people?  IT'S A WORKOUT AND A PARTY!

Zumba is so much fun, with great music and dance-inspired moves, before you know it, the hour has zipped by, you have really worked it and you feel great! People often tell me that Zumba is the only fitness class that they have ever looked forward to or stuck with! And the people who come to class consistently have achieved results - be it weight loss, improved muscle tone, better flexibility or no more joint pain!

YOUR FIRST CLASS IS FREE!

If you think maybe Zumba might be the right exercise program for you, the best thing to do is just come and try a class!  It is truly for everyone, you don't have to be a candidate for Dancing With the Stars!  You will love it!  If you have any questions before you start, please email me
pat@zumbaburlington.com or call me at 905.336.0001

Zumba classes are free to BFR Club members.  They are also open to club non-members - just purchase a 10 or 20 class pass from Pat.  For more information about the BFR Club, call 905 335-3597 or go to www.burlingtonfitness.ca

Check the Class Schedule page for times, location directions and fees.
  

ZUMBA TONING!

MONDAY & FRIDAY MORNING AND NEW WEDNESDAY EVENING CLASSES!

Last fall we introduced Zumba Toning to our morning classes. This new format takes your workout to the next level by combining classic Zumba rhythms and moves with light hand weights or special "toning sticks" to add resistance. The addition of muscle work to cardio will help burn even more calories, tone your arms, legs and strengthen the core. This class has become so popular, we've added a Wednesday 7:30 pm class. Come check it out! You can also purchase Zumba Toning Sticks from Pat.


WHAT'S THAT SONG, PAT?

In response to your requests, I've listed the name and artist of the songs we use in Zumba class on the FAQ page.  Most are available on itunes for you to download.
