Spotlight Testimonials

This girl was well over 300 lbs! When she first came to my ZUMBA classes, I didn't think she would last, but she had shown determination from day one. Little by little, we have seen her shrink and shrink and shrink until she was barely recognizable! She dropped almost 200 lbs within two years. In addition to my ZUMBA and Core fitness classes, she exercises on her own time. Health and fitness has become a lifestyle for her. Now, if you want the same results, health and fitness has to be your lifestyle, too!

Meet Jordan. She has been coming to my ZUMBA and Core fitness classes consistently for less than two months. Since then, she already dropped 10 lbs and went from a size 10 to a size 6. She decided to take her fitness to the next level by dropping her gym membership and building her own home gym. This is what happens when you make health and fitness into a lifestyle instead of a past time. Way to go, Jordan!

This man dropped over 100 lbs by simply changing his diet and adding exercise to his life. He faithfully attends my fitness classes, and it was a joy to watch him tone up in front of me. If you want to make the same changes, then you just can't "do exercise" whenever it's convenient. You need to alter your entire lifestyle like he did. Way to go, Max!
