Zumba with Jerry

I took an introductory class today at Dancing City at Fondren/Westheimer. I used to love to go out Latin dancing before I had two kids and got completely out of shape/sedentary. I don't like gyms, and have never taken any kind of class except for yoga. I LOVED this class (and it kicked my behind in terms of cardio and abs workout), but it was really, really fun and the music was great. It didn't feel like "work" the way that doing an hour on my treadmill does. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The energy and fun was very contagious, and I definitely caught it! I am going to take these classes at least 2-3 times a week, and I am already looking forward to next Tuesday.

Pros: Fun, energetic, nice people.
Cons: None!

Jerry's class is awesome! The music is great-the workout makes you feel great! The high energy workout is soooooo fun! I look forward to his class.

Hi cratgirl, I work in the Bellaire CVX office and we don't have Zumba. I was working in the downtown office in Feb 2008 and tried the zumba class. I love the music and it was a good workout.

So I did a search for Zumba in Houston and found out about Jerry's class. I joined Jerry's Tropa Zumba class and I went every day during the first week. It's nowhere near my house but I really look forward to going, so it's worth it. I wish they would start a zumba class at our Bellaire office. I wish I could have gone to the Chevron one when Jerry was teaching.

Their website is "tropazumba" . This website won't let me put the link.

Pros: Feels more like dancing than exercise (though I leave dripping in sweat), Nice group of people, good location inside the loop, The class times are good because it's after work
Cons: I don't live anywhere near this class, but it's worth the drive!

I AM SO BUMMED! I just learned the Zumba class Jerry teaches at the Chevron Fitness Center is cancelled! This is a huge loss. Your class has been THE most popular since the fitness center opened. It is the highlight of many people's workout week! I hope you will come back and share your awesome talent with us. You are an amazing teacher with a huge following - this is a very sad day for me. :-(

The only type of exercise I was ever able to stick to was kick boxing but had to stop going because the place went out of business. I was looking online for another kick boxing place and ran across Zumba with Jerry so I figured I would check it out. I went with a coworker the first time and we absolutely LOVED IT!!! I could not believe how exciting and FUN was to be there, the instructors are full of energy and it's contagious, as soon as we came in Jerry made it a point to come up to us and introduce himself as well as his co-instructors, he took the time to explain to us how everything works and what we can expect from it. We have been going for 3 weeks and it's been an amazing experience, we always look forward to going to class, Jerry has put a lot of time and effort into making the steps easy to follow and at the same time they really work every single muscle on your body, I feel muscles now that I did not know existed!!! Thanks Jerry what youve done here is truly amazing!!! I would highly recommend this to anybody, what a fun way to get in shape! come check it out, you will get hooked.

Pros: FUN WAY TO GET IN SHAPE!
Cons: NONE
