Let's face it, working out can be healthy, rewarding and beneficial. Working out can be lots of things, but it's never been known to be an exhilarating experience…UNTIL NOW!

The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba® class!

Everyone, no matter what your fitness level or ability, joins in the same classes. Our Zumba classes are a mix of fast and slow rhythms to suit everyone of all fitness levels and from beginners to advanced. You can rest whenever you need to and you don’t have to get everything perfect. Nobody except your Instructor is watching you so just do what you can do - it won’t be long before you’re dancing full out. There is no need to book for any Zumba classes.

When you come for the first time, try to be ready 5 minutes early because that’s when your Instructor will be explaining how to get the best out of your class. You’ll be wanting to wear loose, cool clothing with shoes that have a sole which aren’t too ’grippy’ and are suitable for aerobic type exercise. Jugs of water and glasses are available at all times.

Berdine Catchpole
Along with Christine, Berdine was one of the seven NZ instructors at the first ever Zumba® Instructors Workshop held in Australasia (April 2009). “I have been involved in music and dance since I was 4 years old. After leaving school I spent 2½ years at AUT working towards Bachelor Of Dance but it was as part of my Beauty Therapy Diploma that I gained my Certificate in Aerobics Fundamentals then backed it up with Prescription For Exercise. I learnt to dance Latin American to Gold Medal standard at Christine Simmons Dance and am absolutely addicted to Zumba®”.

Christine Simmons
Christine is also a licenced Zumba® Gold, Zumba® Toning and Zumbatomic® Instructor.
“Doing weights and aerobics at the gym was part of my training schedule in the days when I was competing in ballroom and latin dancing. I vowed that when my comp days were over, I’d never set foot in a gym again - I hated it. I have, of course, continued to dance but I’ve relied on the inherent aerobics in the dances to keep me relatively fit since then. Now I’ve found Zumba®! I absolutely love it! The music is inspiring and because the movements are choreographed to the music, you feel like you’re dancing. You’re using all of your body but it’s not at all like exercising”.

Pienaar Piso
“Mmm... something about me… I have been in the fitness industry for 7years as a Kickboxing Instructor to a RPM Instructor and I am now a ZUMBA® Instructor - WOO FREAKIN WOO!! Motivated, Fun, Energetic - those are the words that can describe me in my classes. I am looking forward to seeing EVERYONE that comes to our Zumba® classes. MAKE SURE TO COME SAY HI AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF IF YOU ARE NEW!!”. Pienaar also learnt Latin American dance to Gold Medal standard at Christine Simmons Dance.

Jennie is also a licenced Zumba® Toning Instructor.
Exercise and dance has always been a big part of my life. After 10 years working in the exercise industry and after owning a Les Mills Jazzercise franchise for many years, there was nothing to fill that void until now. I could not face another gym workout. It’s just not me. There has been a huge gap in the industry for some time now but Beto has filled that for gap for us all. Zumba is full of fun and energizing. Absolutely anyone can do it. Come join the party. See you there.

Priscilla Waites
I’ve had a major lifestyle turnaround since 2008, when I was unhealthy, unfit and 40kg overweight. I considered any form of exercise torture, and I give Zumba® complete credit for changing my mind. Exercise has become fun, invigorating, stress relieving and an integral part of my life. I love the upbeat music, seeing positive energy and smiles spread through a class and the challenge of learning and teaching new routines. I believe that as long as you are enjoying yourself and moving (shake it!) your body, you are doing the right thing – there really are no wrong steps. On a personal note, I’m an Earth scientist by trade, and I really don’t mind being called a science nerd. When I’m not at Zumba® or spending time with my family, I love to read, write, travel, cook & lift heavy weights at the gym.
