Hello! I'm RACHEL EVANS, and I live in NORWICH, Norfolk. I've been a ZIN™ Member since Apr 2011 and Zumba and Zumba Gold are my passions. In the last 8 years I have worked hard to build my Zumba Family. Team Rachel is a wonderful group where not only will you get fit but also make amazing new friendships. We have an amazing supportive bond and you are never alone in Team Rachel. People are successful in class when the instructor uses simple easy to follow choreography and has perfected the skill of visual cueing. In Zumba we don’t shout out instruction we let you get carried away with the song and our hands tell you where you go next, Everyone can Zumba I promise you after 8 years I’ve taught probably in the thousands so believe me when I say everyone can Zumba! I teach 2 styles the original Zumba Fitness class which contains faster tempo music and higher impact moves (although it can be done without the jumping) and Zumba Gold. Zumba Gold was originally designed for the over 50s but now we has recognised that it’s a fabulous programme suitable for so many people: Nervous beginners Those starting out in their fitness journey Those returning from illness or injury Those wanting a gentler Zumba We have exactly the same party atmosphere in Zumba Gold it’s just a gentler workout .... but it will get you fitter don’t worry!! In the last 2 years I have been working hard creating Zumba Gold choreography for other Instructors around the World it’s such a great feeling knowing others are using my work. In 2016 I had the most amazing year as I was chosen to receive the Zumba Love Award at Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando. It was the biggest honour and I owe it all to my Team. It was given in recognition of the thousands of pounds we have raised together for local charities as well as the massive amount of breast cancer awareness flash mobs we have organised. In the same year and for the same reason I also was awarded South Norfolk Council’s Fund Raiser of the Year. In 2017 and to the present day I am one of Active Norfolk’s This Girl Can Ambassadors where I actively promoting fitness to EVERY woman. What have you got to lose except calories and inches? Zumba is exercise in disguise and many have discovered this secret, exercise can be fun it doesn’t have to be a chore. I am extremely experienced if you need any advice or information please contact me. I also have a website www.zumba-Norwich.co.uk Check out my Blog and see more of the amazing fun things Team Rachel get up to!!!

Last July 2018 I was honoured to be asked by the creators of the Zumba®️ Gold Programme, Joy Prouty and Josie Gardiner to lead the World’s first ever Zumba®️ Gold Jam Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando. It’s was the most incredible experience of my life and I am so proud to have Presented for Zumba at Zincon 2018.

Exciting times ahead as I am starting a new class format Zumba Gold Toning.  It’s a simply choreographed class using shaker weights to increase strength and conditioning.   

We shall be continuing our charity work in 2019 and more than ever we will focus on making a positive impact  within our local Community together. 

Come and join Team Rachel, make friends, have fun and get fitter in a warm and welcoming class.
