Regaining her figure post-baby
"Its hard to begin to describe how Zumba has affected my life, because it has changed me in so many ways. After having a baby, I was very discouraged how my body had changed, both size and shape. Balancing a full-time job and a baby proved to be very difficult in losing the baby weight. Dieting was simply not doing the trick. I knew I needed to bring fitness back into my life, I just had to find something that I liked.
I am so grateful to have discovered Zumba because I have never had so much fun working out. It has been a great way for me to get my shape back and I have fun while doing it. I enjoy Zumba so much it has become a passion of mine that I simply can’t go without. It is so nice to have a commitment in my life, that is ALL ABOUT ME! It has given me a chance to take a break from job, cooking, husband, kids, etc and just have an hour to myself to have a blast, SWEAT, and clear my mind. Zumba has definitely made me a better wife and mom, because I come home from class refreshed, pumped, and ready to rock!
Since beginning Zumba only 6 months ago, my fitness level has improved so incredibly that I have tons more energy on a daily basis. Since I have been able to shed those last few pounds, I definitely noticed my self-confidence has improved, and best of all, I feel great!
I am such a big fan of Zumba, I try to bring in friends every week, so that they can experience what I have experienced. I can't say it enough, "I LOVE ZUMBA", "ME + ZUMBA FOREVER", XOXO ZUMBA, I HEART YOU FOR LIFE.
Thanks to you guys for helping me get my groove back! Not bad for 35, eh?"

Improving her health and having fun doing it!
"I started attending Zumba classes over a year ago, but was traveling 25 minutes down south to join a friend for classes. With gas prices so high, I wasn't able to continue because I was spending more in gas and driving time than classes, so I quit. Six months ago, I had suggested to a friend how much I really missed Zumba classes and asked if she was interested in finding classes to attend with me here in town, and we found the perfect spot for us. I tried out the class originally because I love music and I love to dance. But honestly, I wasnt sure how i was going to feel about going to a class with people that were outside my 
circle of friends.
See, I've always been overweight, and honestly, I've never been bothered with it. BUT, I am also a diabetic, and that bothers me more than anything. I was 15 years old when I was diagnosed with diabetes, and I've been struggling with getting that under control for 17 years. So when the new year started, I decided to find some kind of exercise program that I would enjoy, and then Zumba came back into my life.
At first I was very frustrated cause I thought I would be dropping pounds like no-tomorrow. But after 7 weeks of classes, and eating very well, I was weighed at the doctors office and had lost only one pound! I was discouraged and upset by it, and I was ready to quit again. I then remembered my original goal, and had asked to see the results of my H1C test, wich is a blood test to check how high your blood sugar is. For years it was always 8.0 or higher, and those are not good numbers. If kept that high, a diabetic is looking at kidney dialysis, blindness, loss of limbs, etc so you can understand why I was on a mission to get my diabetes under control. In January, my H1C was at 7.7, but when we looked at my latest blood test, it had come down to 7.2! The lowest it's been since my early 20's, and I know its because of Zumba!
Zumba gives me so much energy and makes me feel good about myself! I am the biggest girl in class, but I dont feel any different or outcast. I love the fact that Zumba can be for everyone! Doesnt matter your age or weight, you as a participant know what you can and can't do, and its ok to change things up a bit to suit your body. Some things I have to improvise because of my weight, but it doesnt stop me from moving and shaking my booty. I enjoy the instructors, I enjoy spending that time with my friends, and I enjoy how I feel when class is over. It goes by so quick that I, just like everyone else, shout "BOOOO" when the cool down is announced. I know its because we are having too much fun and just want more!
I wont be tested again for my H1C until the end of summer, but I dont think I've been more excited to get my blood drawn because I really want to see how much lower the blood test is. Anything below 6.0 is ideal, and thats my goal. I love ZUMBA!"
