Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness class, designed with both low and high intensity moves to get you dancing those calories away in a super fun workout.
Zumba is a fun, high-energy fitness workout that combines dance and aerobic movements set to upbeat music. Originating in the 1990s, it blends styles like salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and hip-hop into easy-to-follow routines.
Classes are designed for all fitness levels, making it accessible to beginners and experienced participants alike.
All our Zumba classes in Portsmouth are run by qualified professionals that will help you through every step of the workout to make sure you get the most out of every session.
The low-impact and high-intensity nature of Zumba makes it great for people of all ages and fitness levels as a full body workout experience.
Zumba has a wide variety of benefits, such as:
Aiding in weight loss. An hour of Zumba can burn anywhere from 600 to 1,000 calories. This makes it a brilliant class for those who want to lose that stubborn belly fat or increase their daily calorie burn rate. Just remember: you get out what you put in! The more effort you put into Zumba, the more calories you’ll burn.
Helping you tone your muscles. Zumba uses a whole host of different muscle groups in the body in a natural way. This makes Zumba class a great way to tone your muscles without adding too much muscle mass.
Improving cardiovascular health. Zumba is a fantastic way to boost your metabolism and improve your cardiovascular health. By keeping your heart rate elevated, Zumba helps strengthen your heart muscle. This will help you improve your circulation and in the long run will help you improve your stamina (as more oxygen will reach your muscles more efficiently with good heart health).
Helping improve balance and coordination. In a Zumba class you’ll be dancing away to the beat which will help you improve your coordination, balance, and flexibility. As you progress onto more complex moves, they’ll require you to engage your core muscles and maintain your balance, which will strengthen your body and enhance your overall physical performance.
There are other benefits of Zumba to consider other than the physical benefits. Dancing is a great way to relieve yourself of stress and can help you keep your mental health in good check - not to mention the buzz you’ll get from jiving away to a playlist of bangers.
Zumba is a fantastic exercise class that will provide you with a full body workout experience, without it feeling like a workout. Even for those who’ve never been keen on dance floors, the easy-to-follow steps in Zumba will have you jiving in no time!
The low impact nature of Zumba is also great for those that may have sore joints or aren’t naturally flexible. This also means that seniors tend to enjoy Zumba, as its a great way to get exercise that’s low risk, sociable and fun.
For fitness enthusiasts, it's a great way to continue to work towards your fitness goals while doing something a bit different from your normal weekly fitness routine.
Zumba is for everyone! Pop in to our Portsmouth gym and give it a go.
For those who are interested in Zumba, you’ll want to wear something comfortable and functional, while remaining stylish. Zumba is low impact but can be high energy - meaning you’ll definitely break a sweat. Lightweight fabrics like cotton or mesh for upper and lower body wear are great choices.
