About Me

I'm an easy going person who likes the simple things in life. I enjoy a good laugh always. I may seem quiet, but I'm really not. Currently I attend HPU, looking forward to graduation in a year or less. I'm studying Visual Communication or Multimedia as some may know it. I have no idea what I want to do, but I'm learning a lot and am open to wherever this takes me.

ZUMBA!!!

ZUMBA
It's the new craze that's taking over the fitness world! Not only is this spicy, aerobics based Latin dance class great for BOTH men and women getting into shape, it's also fun! If you're not the type to get excited about going to the gym to workout, and step aerobics just isn't doing it for you anymore, I encourage to try something new. If you don't like it, you can go back to running on the treadmill and lifting free weights at the gym. 
Zumba is a fusion of the Latin dance and music world. On any given day you can find yourself learning Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata, Cha-Cha or the Samba. Slow and fast easy moves that work your entire body that sculpt and tone your body all while burning fat. 

History: http://www.zumba.com/us/about/
Celebrity fitness trainer, "Beto" Perez, stumbled upon the concept of Latin inspired fitness in his native country of Colombia (South America) in the mid 1990's. One day, he walked into his class and realized that he had forgotten his aerobics music, and his only option was to grab whatever tapes he had in his car. Beto's tapes were comprised of the songs that he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music with which he had been raised. But it was a challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute improvisation was born a revolutionary fitness program – Zumba®! The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility.

Now 10 years later, it's stronger than ever with over 30,000 trained instructors all over the world. The best part about that is there are 12 locations right here on the island of Oahu. 
The closest to the downtown campus is located:

Fit for a Goddess Studio
320 Ward Ave. Suite 201
Honolulu, HI 

And the closest to the Windward Campus is located:

Kailua Movement Studio
