ZUMBATOMIC IS HERE!

Sure, chillin' out is cool, but rockin' out is a blast! That's why you're going to love the Zumbatomic® fitness program for kids on Fridays from 5:15 p.m. - 5: 55 p.m. in Studio B.

This class is a fast-forward fusion of the Zumba program's moves (salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, hip-hop and more) and high-octane workouts designed to let kids ages 4-12 max-out on fun and fitness all at the same time.

It's a safe and effective program. Kids can't wait to get into the Zumbatomic groove. Watch their energy and fitness levels soar!
