Testimonials
Stories That Inspire
"I chose to teach Zumba Gold because of the community that it reaches. It reaches an older active community and it reaches new students perhaps starting off in Zumba that may want to give it a try, at maybe a slower pace."
"My first class actually was a Gold class with 44 people and I remember almost being frozen at front but once the music started, nothing else mattered and the rest is history from there. Gold is actually my favorite format."
"Zumba Gold helped me offer a fitness format that was fun for the people who have never done any type of fitness or were a little bit older or had issues with their joints and muscles and to reach them, Zumba Gold is the perfect format and I love teaching Zumba Gold"
