Yoga Studios/Gyms/Zumba

Morning ladies!  So I googled yoga studios today, and there are a lot of results.  Does anyone currently go to a yoga studio or gym that offers zumba?  I went to a zumba class last night with Stacy and it was so so so fun!  I'd really like to start doing that a couple of times a week, but the studio we went to is ending their $5 class promotion in May.  

Stacy - I'm not sore, and I totally thought my quads would be killing me from those squats!

Re: Yoga Studios/Gyms/Zumba

  • I know that Mountainside Fitness offers it...atleast the one in surprise. I've never gone to a class but I've heard its a lot of fun. I'd like to start going....Either that or a Hot Yoga class..I heard that is intense and I looove me some yoga!
  • Yeah, I always already sore from Monday so I don't know if I'm sore from yesterday or not. 2 weeks ago I was SO sore...the girl who did it last night though, she wasn't s crazy as the other lady. The other girl was WAY better!!
  • Stacy - have you ever tried hot yoga?  I haven't, but I was going to email you a link to this hot yoga studio that is offering 30 days for 30 dollars to first time customers.  Its in Tempe, here is the link:

  • A girl I bowl with does that and we've thought about trying it because you burn soooo many calories. I'm worried though.....I HATE being that hot esp. when the room is super hot! lol
  • Oh!  I didn't realize it was hot as in temperature hot, I thought it was hot as in sexy hot!  Wow, I suck.

    A friend of mine told me about this type of yoga (I thought there was a diff. name for it though...) and it sounded excruciating.  He said he was just dripping wet after class.  I take it back, I don't want to do the hot yoga.  

    I think I'll try googling dance studios.  That might give me better results.  All the yoga studios I've seen have been like holistic/healing.  I really liked zumba b/c it was so fast paced and the different moves kept it exciting.

  • Yeah, there is another name for it but I can't remember it. I think that's what the link you sent me is talking about. Although, there isn't much information on the website about it. HMMM
  • The yoga you guys are talking about is Bikram Yoga- aka hot yoga.  They keep the room at 105 with 40% humidity.  I've heard you burn thousands of calories, but I've also heard of people passing out and throwing up.  Um, no thanks!

    Check out local community centers as well-- in Chandler you can join Tumbleweed Rec Center (full gym) for $25 a month and Zumba classes are free.  They also offer community rec Zumba classes, where you sign up for 6 weeks for a certain dollar amount.  I assume Chandler is a little far for you (Tumbleweed is at Germann and McQueen), but I'm sure other cities probably offer the same thing.

    Awesome, thanks Erin! Yeah, I don't want to throw up and I HATE humidity! lol

    I'm definitely going to check out the Rec Center...$25 a month is awesome when there's Zumba classes too! :-)

  • Summit Yoga does Bikram. They have a great reputation & several locations. I am dying to try the one by my house in Glendale.

    I go to 24 Hour Fitness and they have similar classes.  I love cardio kickboxing  and boot camp!  When I'm really motivated I also go to the core and lifting classes.
