Zumba... where do you do it?

I've always wanted to try it. I don't have a lot of spare $ right now to join a fitness club (since we're basically paying two mortagages and bills for two homes) where else do they do the classes? 

I'm desparate to get my pounds off.  June 1 is my start date of serious diet.

Re: Zumba... where do you do it?

  • Some community centers offer classes. Check with parks and rec.

  • Some dance studios offer Zumba.  I took it at the dance studio my friend owns in Wixom.  There are lots of dance studios in Canton (I believe that's where you said you were living right now, correct me if I'm wrong) that offer the class.  If you need help locating one just let me know.  I'm quite familiar with dance studios in the area.

  • Troy Gymnastics on Maple and Crooks offers Zumba classes for adults.  I've taken classes with that instructor for a few years now - before she was there she did that at the Community Center in Royal Oak.  She's amazing!
  • I've taken it a few places, but the best was a place in Ferndale on 9 mile called Body Mind & Fittness. The instructor, Valencia is AMAZING!!!!!! I have NEVER had a workout like that before. I went there once last year with a friend and we both loved it. I hope to return once I get cleared from my Dr to workout again. If Ferndale is too far, go to zumba.com for all the locations.
  • You don't live far from me, so I know a few in your area. You could join me at my gym on Wednesdays at 6 or Sundays at 1, the gym is right by the airport (Romulus Athletic Center). Margie is awesome. 

    Also near you is the world of pole dance studio which does Zumba many times per week. It is in Garden City on Warren. http://worldofpole.com/

     Good luck finding a good place to go! I love Zumba.

  • I go to WOW fitness in Wateford. They have different plans where you can pay for the month or a punch card or they have drop in rates.

    Summit is the community center in Canton.  Its a little west of Palmer and Canton Center Rd.  It has a small-ish gym and an indoor pool.  I just checked out their weekly schedule and they have zumba on Wed/Sat at 10:15am,  Fri at 5:30pm, and Wed/Thurs at 8:00pm.  I think these are all just the drop-in classes.  You can get a membership or it looks like its $6/day to just come in for the day.

    Here's the website: http://leisure.canton-mi.org/summit/index.aspx

    Oh, and a few days ago, or maybe last week, someone posted about a groupon for summit membership.  I have no idea if it was a good deal or not, but probably worth looking back for.

  • Last fall I purchased a groupon (used it all up now) with Vibe Fit in Dearborn, they have clases at different locations

    http://www.vibefitme.com/classes.php

     They were fun, but they just moved the whole our (which was great) but they didn't break down the dance all the time - so I didn't always feel like I knew what I was doing. I took a zumba class up north and the girl went through the moves at least once slowly then picked up the pace - it was more effective for me since I could focus then instead of just jumping around.  But the Vibe Fit gals were certainly FUN!

    Weeeellll, I kind of pissed off the owner there once. But if I dye my hair and wear sunglasses, I can probably get away with going there again! Let's talk after I get back from the beach. 

  • I LOVE my Zumba class, it's near you too.  I go to Uptown Body Fitness in downtown Northville, the site is http://uptownbodyfitness.com

    The instructor, Janal, is awesome.  She's a dancer and has so much energy.  You won't be out of place either, there are lots of new people there.  It's a great place, everyone's really nice.  Each Zumba class is $10, or they have packages 5 for $40 or 10 for $80.

    There are other classes too, I tried poledancing, also taught by Janal, and it was so hard.

    This weekend I'm trying the W.T.F! class, it's supposed to be like a boot camp class, so we'll see how hard it is...

    I'm the one who mentioned the Groupon for the Summit, but I think it's expired now.  Even so, $6/day really isn't bad.  Their memberships are pretty reasonable as well considering the price of other places.  You might want to check it out.

  • I got to One on One Athletic Club in Ann Arbor, which is about 20 minutes from Canton (you're in Canton, right?).  They offer drop-in classes on Monday nights from 7:30-8.  It's $5 per class for non-members.  Could be a good (cheap!) way to try it out before you commit to anything.
