Bring the Party to Life in Richfield, Minnesota
There's a special kind of energy that lives in Richfield. Known fondly as “The Urban Hometown,” this close-knit first suburb just south of Minneapolis has always known how to blend big-city excitement with small-town heart. And that's exactly the spirit we love at Zumba. If you've ever felt the music take over, lost yourself in a rhythm, and thought the whole room should feel this good, we have an invitation for you: come join us and become a Licensed Zumba Instructor right here in your own neighborhood.
Why Richfield Is Ready to Move
Richfield has always been a community that shows up for one another. From the beloved Richfield Farmers Market at Veterans Memorial Park every summer, to the music, food, and neighbors spilling into the streets at PennFest, this is a city that knows how to gather, celebrate, and move together. Those same values — connection, joy, and showing up as your real self — are at the very heart of what we do.
Tucked into just seven square miles, Richfield packs in more than 450 acres of parks, the beautiful trails and boardwalks of Wood Lake Nature Center, and a dining scene that's a destination all its own. Whether you're grabbing authentic bites at Andale Taqueria & Mercado or a famous burger at Sandy's Tavern, this is a city that savors life. We think it's time Richfield had one more reason to move, sweat, and smile.
Turn Your Passion Into a Purpose
You don't need to be a professional dancer. You don't need years of experience. You just need the willingness to let go, have fun, and share that feeling with others. Our trainings are designed to meet you exactly where you are and give you everything you need to lead your very first class with confidence.
Each session is led by a certified Zumba Education Specialist (ZES) — a passionate guide who will walk you through the foundations of the program, the signature rhythms, and the practical skills to run a class that keeps people coming back. From the core Zumba Basic 1 training to specialty formats like Aqua Zumba, there's an upcoming training to match the path you want to take. The ZES brings the energy, the know-how, and the encouragement; you bring the spark.
A Perfect Place to Start
Location matters when you're starting something new, and Richfield makes it easy. Our training venue at CM's Fitness on Penn Ave sits in the heart of the city, just minutes from the shops at The HUB and a quick drive from everything else. Traveling in? You're only about 15 minutes from Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP), with plenty of nearby hotels to make your stay simple and comfortable. Getting here is the easy part — the real adventure begins once you walk through the door.
Join a Global Movement, Right at Home
When you become a Licensed Zumba Instructor, you're not just learning a workout — you're joining a worldwide community dedicated to moving all people to unleash their power. You'll gain the freedom to teach on your own schedule, build real connections, and transform your own fitness while helping others do the same. Imagine leading a class full of your Richfield neighbors, watching them light up, and knowing you made that happen.
Richfield has always been the kind of place where neighbors become friends and everyday moments turn into something memorable. We can't wait to add music, movement, and a whole lot of joy to that story. Whether you're dreaming of a new side hustle, a fresh passion, or simply a bolder version of yourself, your journey starts with one step onto the floor.
