I was surprised since the moment we stepped foot on the parking lot. The center we went to blended so well with the surrounding community that I did not realize it was a recreation center for everyone and that there is a nice ballroom in there. Just like Wayne, my peer, mentioned “this [place] is a hidden gem.” I agree with him because there are probably a lot of people that pass through the street and would have never imagine that they offer Zumba classes there and how accessible the facilities there are. Another surprise for me is how well the elderly is in Zumba! They knew all the moves and had no problem keeping up with the instructor. The program was so fun and active, I had to catch my breath afterwards. During Zumba, I realized how active the exercise is because I would see the different movements that I knew targeted specific muscle areas. These muscle areas should be targeted in all your weekly workouts to keep tone and Zumba targeted them in one day while keeping it really fun. That is why I feel it’s such a great exercise for all age groups and it was such a great community. Also, I felt super welcomed to the center and so happy to be there. It was funny because one person told us that they were hesitant of having us there, but it turned out so much better than expected! I thought it was funny because they viewed us a certain way but turned out way different than they thought, and it could apply to anyone. Anyone can have this perspective of someone or a group and then just turn out totally different. Either way they were all friendly and welcoming saying “hope to see you next week” and my heart melted. Thank you!
