Take the Next Step to a Beach-Ready Body with Zumba Toning

Exclusively at California Fitness

Want to tone your body and have fun at the same time? Zumba Toning at California Fitness will add some Latin passion to your workout.

Zumba Toning blends body-sculpting techniques and specially-designed Zumba moves into one calorie-burning, strength-training session.

Created by choreographer-turned-fitness guru Alberto Perez, the original Zumba Fitness uses Latin-inspired dance moves as part of a low-impact cardio workout.

Exclusive to California Fitness, Zumba Toning ups the ante by adding light weights to the hour-long routine. Using maraca-like toning sticks, participants can enhance their sense of rhythm, build strength, and coordination while firming all the target areas. Previous dance experience is not necessary and hypnotic Latin music adds to the fun, party vibe. Participants can burn around 450 calories in the hour it takes to do the class.

"While your lower body is working on Zumba moves, holding and shaking the toning sticks provides mild resistance. This trains the upper body, resulting in an effective total body toning workout," said George Iu, Zumba Master Trainer at California Fitness.

"If you like Zumba, you'll love Zumba Toning," added George. "From the first time I saw Zumba Toning, I was totally hooked. It's passionate, effective and so much fun!"

In keeping with the Zumba format, this latest Toning class has the same party-like atmosphere and rhythm-infused energy as the original workout.

Since the 2003 launch of Zumba Fitness, this latest form of Zumba continues to be the one of the most popular forms of group exercise. Over 20,000 instructors in 40 countries now teach Zumba and Zumba is exclusive to California Fitness in Hong Kong.
