| Zumba Kim's Story: Zumba is my passion! I stumbled into a class by accident in August of 2006. I had never really participated in group x classes. In my exercise routine I stuck to the treadmill, the bike, and the elliptical. What was I thinking? I can't imagine ever doing that again! I just happened to see my neighbor in the Zumba class and she was looking fantastic! I went in to say hello and was talked into staying. The class was amazing, the music, the energy, & the hour flew by so quick! I was hooked! I never stepped foot on a treadmill, bike or elliptical again. Soon the pounds were coming off, my sizes were going down, and I was feeling great, my energy was so high. I had never seen results like this before. I am currently down 40 pounds with a combo of Zumba and making healthy choices! In February 2007 I took the Zumba Workshop training and began teaching 1 week later. I taught at Hilltop Gym for 1 year before it closed it's doors in February 2008. In June 2007 I premiered the first ever Zumba classes at California Family Fitness in Elk Grove. The format was new to this gym and it took off quickly! Soon more instructors were being added as classes grew. Zumba trainings were going on at other CFF's to get all 15 of their gyms added with Zumba classes. In April 2008 I also premiered the first Zumba classes at Gold's Gym in Elk Grove as well. The members were also Zumba-holics and the classes were always a blast. I gave up this class in Feb. 2009. I miss the students. But, with my classes going well at my studio, I needed to cut some classes and focus my energy on the studio and making these classes my top priority. So as for the studio, In September in 2008 I decided to offer "drop in" classes at Makamae Studio of Dance. I wanted to offer Zumba on a drop in basis and i thought $5 sounded pretty reasonable. So I randomly came up with my $5 drop in pricing and 10 class punch card offer, (yep, only $5!!) & 10 classes for $45. I grew exponentially at the studio and have found that word of mouth advertising is the greatest! I thank all of you who have supported me throughout the years & now support my other instructors, It is because you spread the word about the classes at the studio that we can make these classes happen!! THANK YOU! So in 2010....Because the class sizes were growing so big, I needed a larger space so I relocated my Studio classes to a new suite number. I was at that location for 8 months and decided to make a move to a retail location. As of June 1, 2010 Zumba with Kim is now known as Fusion Fitness & Dance and is now located at 9660 Elk Grove Florin Road Suite E, right next door to Skip's Music. Our studio is fabulous, with nearly 4,500 square feet of space, central heat and two air conditioners to keep us cool in the summer heat. This location is the best yet & is twice the size of our old location. And our dance floor is HUGE ,as we just expanded it. The Studio is centrally located in the heart of Elk Grove & is on a main street so it is easy to find! We are proud to say were nominated in the Best of Elk Grove Contest for 2010 and just won "Best Dance Studio" & also came in second place for "Best Group Fitness". We look forward to having you at our studio soon! Since my initial Zumba workshop training in 2007 I have been to 8 more Zumba trainings/certifications over the past 4 years of teaching as well as the first Annual Zumba Convention in Orlando Florida in 2008. These trainings include Zumba Gold, Zumba Basic 2, Zumba Toning, and ZumbAtomic for kids. I am excited that at the studio I have been able to host some amazing Zumba Master Classes with talented Zumba Instructors from all over, Including Gina Grant from Zumba Fitness, Fabio Barros from Miami, and Nathan Blake from New York, & the list goes on. Plus, we have been able to host Zumba Instructor trainings at our facility. I have been having a great time these past 4-1/2 years. I love the energy my classes bring to me and the feeling I get teaching is just amazing. I feel connected to each of my participants and look forward to each class I teach. I can't imagine my life without Zumba! Be sure to check the current class schedule. I hope to see you shimmying at a class soon! ~ Kim |
