Christina "My Weight Watchers leader, who has been an absolutely amazing source of support, information, and encouragement during my journey, suggested that I try something entirely new; new foods, new routine, new exercise. She suggested that I try Zumba. She told me that her sister-in-law owned a Zumba studio that did not require lengthy and expensive membership contracts. A person could pay $8 to drop in and try it. Though that idea really appealed to me, I procrastinated. I thought I would look and feel silly out there shaking my forty year old butt. But eventually, desperation drove me to give it a try.

I attended my first class on a Saturday. I was completely unaware that I had chosen one of the most challenging instructors! But I was immediately charmed by Gisela’s energy, enthusiasm and engaging personality. Because of residual balance and fine motor impairment, I felt less than graceful. But I stumbled through the moves as best I could. Some I mastered pretty quickly, others just seemed hopelessly complicated. It wasn’t long before I realized that nobody was paying any attention to how poorly I was doing the moves, because they were all too focused on getting their own moves right. That really helped me relax and I found, to my astonishment, that I absolutely LOVED it. I had forgotten how much I loved to dance. And to me, it wasn’t exercise, it was just dancing. But make no mistake…my body was working and working hard. It was by far the most challenging work out I had experienced up to that point. But I never found myself counting the minutes, or gritting my teeth to just make it through.

The hour flew by and I was genuinely sorry when it was over. I had to do it again. And again. And again. And so I did. But not just because it made my body feel great. It was also because Shana and the entire staff at FitU were so incredibly welcoming and genuine. They did and do make me feel like part of a great big family. That’s not a feeling you can get at a fancy gym with 4,000 members. After doing Zumba, for one week, (4 times) I lost four pounds. I was ECSTATIC! I hadn’t had a loss that big in months! But the real shocker was that I had lost a half an inch off my waist and hips and ¾ inch off my thighs. WOW. Needless to say, I was sold. I had found a way to lose weight, sculpt my body and feel terrific that was also amazingly fun. You really can’t ask more than that from a fitness program.

A year after beginning my journey, I have lost 70 lbs. I still have 14 pounds to lose to reach my goal of 84 pounds, but I believe it is within my reach. I have lost 9 inches off my waist, 8 inches off my hips, 4 inches off my arms and 6 inches off my thighs. I look and feel like a different person. I don’t really know that woman in my before picture. Who was she and why did she let herself get so desperately unhealthy? Examining that has been life changing as well. Shedding the pounds has made me physically fit, but it has also made me take a long, hard look at what I want for myself, and given me the drive and determination to go out and get it. Because I figure…if I can transform my body, I can transform my life as well. I still experience occasional bouts of aphasia (language deficit) and I will never make my living as a tightrope walker, but I have several exciting possibilities in my life now, one of which is pursuing certification as a Zumba instructor myself.

Because of my medical history, I absolutely have to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. What better way to achieve that than by making it a career? Once, I would have laughed at such an idea. Me?? A fitness instructor?? Impossible. But now, I believe I can do it. And love it. And love my life because of it. But most of all, I believe I can help people like me achieve all the wonderful things that life has to offer them.

I want everyone to know that change is within them. The first step is really and truly the hardest. I know that I am profoundly grateful for those who have walked beside me on my journey. So if I can encourage someone else to pick their foot up off the ground that first time and put it forward, then it is all the more meaningful. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” (Lao Tzu)."

"Everything about it has been amazing..Dancing has always been a huge part of who I am, yet I've found myself losing it over the past couple of years. I have taken back to back semester classes fo the past year and a half now, fall-spring-summer-fall-spring. I was exhausted and needed an outlet. Then I came across Zumba. After my first class, I quickly became addicted! I'd found dancing again. I had a way to release my stress, a way to get back into the groove of things and most importantly a way to find myself. I love Zumba. Its just right up my alley." ~Aubrey M

Danielle "ZUMBA FOR A BETTER LIFE!!!

I am 39 years old. Over the last couple of years my weight was out of control, my marriage was in trouble, I was lazy, depressed, and a heart attack waiting to happen! My highest weight was 239. My cholesterol was 250. My triglycerides level (fat in your blood) was 160.

A friend told me about Zumba and changed my life. That night I took my daughter Jessa age 13 and we went to our first Zumba class with Shana. WE WERE HOOKED INSTANTLY! It was so fun and the music was awesome! Now it is 6 months later and my ENTIRE life has changed! I eat healthy and I go to Zumba 3 to 4 times a week taking Jessa as much as possible.

I LOVE LIFE AGAIN! I have lost 60 pounds, my cholesterol is down 40 points, and my triglyceride level is now 64! I AM A HOT MAMMA!! The most important thing is the changes Zumba has made on the inside! I have more self worth and feel I deserve this better life.

My husband loves the changes to my body but says the best change is my attitude. You have to put yourself first before you can change your life and the lives of those you love. Zumba is the answer. It is like being at a night club with only your best friends! No one is judging you! You can let go, have fun, and JUST BE YOU! You may not get all the steps and no one cares. YOU WILL SWEAT! YOU WILL HAVE FUN!

I am not done making myself healthier but I feel I have won this war because of the changes Zumba has made to my soul! Thank you Shana, Randy and Gisela! Thank you to everyone at FIT U for helping me become the best me I can be! This is what I have learned over the last 6 months at Zumba that I have needed to know my whole life. Change yourself only for you! Change only to become your TRUE self! This will change everything and everyone around you! (Size 20 jeans to a size 14!) "

Misty L"I discovered Zumba a few months ago. I Immediately, I realized why they call it a fitness party. It is so much fun and time flies when you're having fun. I got a total workout and it was very entertaining to me, so it was win-win. For a while I could only go once a week. I craved it more often. I started going twice a week. I was feeling more energy than ever before. This was something that I looked forward to and did not want to miss. I had never lasted this long in a fitness class, they became boring. Not this one, new songs and dances were added to keep me interested. Zumba started changing my life. I found workout to be a stress reliever as well, which is something we all need from time to time, away from work and home. So far I have lost 10lbs. In the new year I plan to take charge of my health and Zumba will be the biggest factor. I'm really excited! I feel that I have a circle of friends around me already, and Shana is truly amazing. Every class, we feed off of each other's energy. This creates the party and we get the maximum benefit out of each session. It has been a blast so far, and I know there is lots more to come.

Thanks again Shana and the rest of the Zumba crew for making this the best fitness program!!"

Terry & Jasmine Came on a whim & haven't been able to stay away! Zumba is great & the group is awesome! Every age, shape, size & ability & all having fun."

Karen "I weighed myself last week and thought my scale was wrong..so I went and bought a new scale and it said the same thing. I lost 6 lbs!"
