I started my Zumba journey over a year ago when, on a whim, I bought a Groupon and decided to try this new form of exercise that everyone was raving about. I am not one for gyms or treadmills or step classes or running or anything that remotely bears resemblance to working out, so I figured I'd try this and see if it's any different. Well, from the first class I was HOOKED! An hour flew by and all I had done was dance and have fun! (And sweat A LOT!!!) I have grown to LOVE this form of "working out" because it doesn't feel like you're working out at all! It's actually fun! Over a year later, with some alterations to my diet as well, I have lost over 26 pounds. I have introduced many friends to Zumba and they too are addicted and seeing results! I am so thankful to all the instructors at Vibez for creating these amazingly FUN classes where we can go, shake our booties, burn hundreds of calories, get healthier and ENJOY doing it! And of course many thanks to May, the head honcho at Vibez, for bringing this to our neighborhood.

I'm addicted! Zumba is my drug. Since I started coming to Vibez, my love for Zumba just keeps growing. That's me back in September of 2012. In just 4 months of coming to Vibez 3-4 times a week, I dropped 30 pounds and gained a better appreciation for life. I feel great and have tons of energy. I have a full time job and 3 young kids so YES, you can fit Zumba into to your life. I love coming to Vibez; the instructors are AWESOME, have great energy and totally inspire you. You can tell they are passionate about sharing their love of Zumba with everyone! And most importantly, IT'S FUN!!!!!! Give Zumba a try and you are guaranteed to become a Zumbaholic like me!

I started at Vibez in October 2011. I take an average of 8 -10 classes a week consistently. Although I continue to love Zumba, Vibez offers a variety of classes, so I’ve been trying new things and challenging myself. I take Kettle bells, Cardio Kickboxing, Yoga/stretch, & Zumba Toning. I am very happy to report that I’m down 30 pounds and lots of inches! I’ve gained muscle, confidence, and lots of new friends! The instructor Marcos Leyton particularly inspired me. He encouraged me to become a Zumba instructor for myself! In May of 2012 at the “ripe old age” of 43, I went for the licensing training! I am enjoying inspiring others just as Zumba inspired me! PS – my cholesterol is now normal, I’m off the blood pressure medication & I threw out the knee brace! NEVER say NEVER and NEVER say CAN’T! Zumba love!
A huge thank you to my friend, instructor and eye candy Marcos for helping me lose 35lbs!!! I love Zumba and I love Marcos!!!!! Xoxo -

 Hi May. Just wanted to show you what a difference your Zumba and the amazing Jenna has made. This was me with celebrity designer Tobi Fairley. I am now 25 pounds lighter!!! I maintained that weight for over a year. That picture was taken at a interior design event last year. But I could never drop the weight. I always maintained that weight no matter what I did. When I started Zumba in February, is when it just fell off. No major changes in eating habits, just gone. Now I am maintaining the same lose. I plan to start watching what I eat and combining it with your classes to lose that last 10-15 pain in the butt pounds!!! Hope it does help people like me that can't understand why the scale won't budge no matter what you do. A girl like me with no rhythm, only taking 3-4 classes a month and not eating after 10pm was able to make this big change with those little changes. Now I am going to do Zumba at least 8 times a month, watch my eating habits and stop eating after 9:00pm. Let's see the changes after that regiment! I still have 20 more pounds to go, but this is the 30lbs difference from the picture I sent you a few weeks ago. Vibez is getting my sexy back! Thank you. Barabara V.
Hello, My name is Betsy Lazarus Rouse and I am a 56 year old resident of Bay Terrace. My current weight loss story began in January when I returned to Weight Watchers in Bay Terrace at my topmost heaviest weight. I had no energy and was falling asleep on the couch watching TV by 9 pm. I had purchased a Groupon for Vibez Studio in November and had yet to join.I finally tried a Zumba Gold class. One of the woman, very trim, energetic, and older than me, recommended some other instructors. I began coming regularly, watched Michelle, winner of the studio's Biggest Loser contest, just melting away. I have lost 22 lbs. so far and look forward to losing at least that much more. Zumba at Vibez helped bring the joy back to my body. I'm now also bicycling, walking, and doing video workout at home in addition Zumba. I especially love Jennifer's classes, she is a great instructor who makes it fun and do-able for participants of all levels. Thanks for being part of my weight loss journey! Sincerely, Betsy Lazarus Rouse
Hello Vibez (May :) ) I definetely can say that zumba improved my life and my appearance by a great deal. I come when I can due to heavy and hectic work schedule and dealing with a small baby, and those rare chances had helped get skinnier. I havent yet reached my goal, but I am on my way. I went through all my pix since I joined vibez back in October, and take a look at my progression through June Best regards, Svetlana.
All I can say, is that Zumba at Vibez ROCKS! I never thought I could find exercising to be so much fun. In fact, I think I'm a bit addicted to class. Thank goodness you chose to open Vibez when you did. I had just signed up with Weight Watchers and I was looking to increase my physical activity locally to help me jump start my weight loss. I've never before been able to stay on a diet or exercise program, but somehow I'm staying on track! I think it has a lot to do with your wonderful staff and customers who are all so encouraging and friendly! So far, I've lost 17 pounds and my goal is 30. I think we'll be able to do it together! I've attached a "before" photo and "after" photo (just of my face). Can you see the difference?? Here's to staying on track with Vibez. Thanks, Susan
I love Jenna's class. Jenna's classes are very energetic, yet not difficult to follow. Whenever Jenna's routine involves jumping, I am always able to modify if I need to. I find most of the instructors have a set of basic moves for a song that get repeated. So, if it is your first time doing a routine, by the middle of the song you can follow. I love Marcos, which is a very dance oriented class. I also am enjoying Gloria for the morning toning class. Last week Jasmine subbed for toning, which was my 1st class with her, and I thought she was very good.
I really have enjoyed just about every instructor. They each have their unique style, and I enjoy the changes from instructor to instructor. Christy was my first Zumba instructor, and I signed-up that day, after that 1st class, for the monthly schedule. I thought she was really good, and since it was my first class, I tried to follow, and did not feel intimidated. I love the Vibez Studio. Last week was my 1 year anniversary at Vibez, and I have lost 40 pounds. I am down 3 sizes, and just have to keep buying new clothing!!! Thanks again for listening, and having a great studio.

“The class was definitely fun, the instructor goes around the class to make sure everyone is doing ok and corrects your move if needed. I learned how to do 3 spins around the pole, gained a few aches and a lingering muscle ache for the whole day, however all was worth it! I decided to take pole dancing classes because I was told it is a total body work out and it definitely is! No Pain, No Gain. And of course you get to learn cool spins on the pole. You'll definitely see me in the next class!”
ALL YOUR INSTRUCTORS are amazing and full of energy.Rachaels class on Sunday is intense and insane but she makes you work muscles you never knew existed. Marcos is great with the crowd.Ericas zumba is awesome with excellent music choices I just think her toning class is more on the easy side and should be a little more difficult :-) I love your place ! p.s. we need more 8pm classes so I can make it after work Jamie Hi , I want to thank Vibez because Zumba has changed my life. Im diabetic, high blood pressure, bad liver, high cholesterol. I honestly take 9 pills and a shot of insulin daily, Ive been feeling down and to top it off had a pre stroke in 2011. I started Zumba and made it a routine to go to Zumba classes daily. I have seen results, I feel better health wise, just last week I had my blood test again (every 3months), my numbers are down that my doctor were surprised. He lowered my doses which had me so happy. Just knowing my health is better motivated me even more to continue and to tell my friends to try Zumba and they also will be hooked. All the instructors here at Vibes are great. I enjoy every class. thanks you again and God bless Rosie Just wanted to show you what a difference your Zumba and the amazing Jenna has made. I am now 25 pounds lighter!!!

I plan to start watching what I eat and combining it with your classes to lose that last 10-15 pain in the butt pounds!!! Unfortunately I have no nice shots of me now. I plan to take some ASAP as I think it will be a great idea to post on your site. Hope it does help people like me that can't understand why the scale won't budge no matter what you do. A girl like me with no rhythm, only taking 3-4 classes a month and not eating after 10pm was able to make this big change with those little changes. Now I am going to do Zumba at least 8 times a month, watch my eating habits and stop eating after 9:00pm. Let's see the changes after that regiment! Barbara V. Cathy K. A Zumba class at Vibez is only $10 and they have discounted class cards that are SO worth it. I bought the one that's $50 for 6 classes (But 5, get 1 Free) but I plan to buy the unlimited $80 one when I know I will be able to attend that many classes in a month. Parking is free in the lot; just ignore the signs and park anywhere, the only exception being the wine place. The studio is a perfect size with a little stage for instructors to stand on. The lights are dim with a fluorescent pink - a fun touch and perfect for Zumba. There's a dressing room with a comfortable low-to-the-ground black couch and some chairs. There are magazines to read while you wait for your class to start, and coloring books if you have brought along your child. There are plenty of hangers to hang up your coat and small lockers if you wish to put something away. I haven't seen anyone use the lockers since in the studio, there are shelves for your bag. So far I have taken three classes: Marcos', Christina's, and Nikki's. I have also taken Erica's class but another studio. Each instructor is inspiring, motivating and talented. These people know how to dance and lead a great Zumba class! Their choreography is awesome and sexy (be prepared to shake & pop your booty!), just like it should be. You will break a sweat without even realizing it because it's so fun. The best thing about Vibez is their accommodating schedule and the variety of instructors. You are guaranteed to find a class for you, both in style and time. If you have little ones, they even offer Zumbatomic - Zumba for kids! I met the guy that owns the studio last week and he is super nice. He let my friend and I in on some things he plans for Vibez in the coming months, and let's just say - It's only going to get better from here! The owner's devoted to this place and has a lot of great ideas. Check their schedule at http://Vibezstudio.com. It doesn't change too much week to week, but you will notice special events and specialty classes pop up. DEFINITELY check it out. "Join the party," people! Review from Michelle R. I like the personal touch of emails and staff at front desk by jennybean00 I love going to this studio because the class schedule fits perfectly into my routine. They make it easy to find a class that suits just about anyone. The studio is beautiful, well-kept, clean (a big plus in my book), and in a convenient location. The instructors are very knowledgeable and keep the energy high. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a satisfying workout.
by StephDJD It's easy to make excuses not to work out - it's boring...intimidating...classes aren't at convenient times, etc...however, this place is GREAT! First of all, it does not feel like you are going to work out - the place is super chic! Not only that but classes are offered at all times, so whether you like to work out early or late - they have a class for you. I find myself looking forward to my next class!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by zumbalover Great space; Lovely staff; AMAZING instructors!
Michelle1432 09/09/2011 I like it a lot. Do they have any promotion on unlimited monthly pass ? |
