ZUMBA INTERNATIONAL BURY

Fantastic experience: Diane makes Zumba enjoyable my breathing has improved and I am a lot fitter . S mcewen

Fantastic experience: Since starting Zumba I feel my energy levels have increased, I am taking the dog out more often. In the past I have gone for short walks and enjoyed swimming but I changed to Zumba because I love music and dancing and that’s what Zumba includes. I stick with Zumba because it’s a great atmosphere and Diane does an amazing job. The sessions are vey inclusive and allows everyone to feel comfortable to take part, meet new people and most of all have fun.

Fantastic experience: I've recently started the online classes as I'd lost my mojo after hitting the menopause. Dianne is so full of energy its infectious, and so welcoming, she even comes to the camera to give us some attention so we don't feel left out. I feel very happy when I've finished the class and I feel a sense of achievement. Next step is going to a class.

Fantastic experience: I first joined Zumba classes as a new fitness activity aiming to keep me fit and active as l hardly did much other fitness activities. Thinking back on my first few Zumba classes, they were packed with fun dances and Dianne gives an energetic, great warm atmosphere that l laughed all through the classes as it was me trying to follow the arms and legs co-ordination moves whilst on the move. Dianne let's you take her classes as easy or as fast as you like using your own pace and comfort levels. And l continue to enjoy that feeling of group exercising , fun and energy Dianne gives. After each class I feel revitalised with more energy. Since joining zumba classes, it has helped me to keep more active with doing regular walks. Thanks Dianne :)

Fantastic experience: I want to thank you Dianne and Rachel for providing such great Zumba classes. I not only enjoy coming to the classes, but also can admit to the fact that on many occasions it has been a lifesaver. I have often walked through the door feeling very stressed and miserable with whatever life has thrown at me, but after meeting up with familiar faces and completing a full class I can honestly say I dance myself happy. I walk out of the door feeling a sense of achievement, less stressed, less lonely, much happier and more positive. I love the variety of music, the fun factor and enjoy meeting like-minded people. It was also a pleasure recently to socialise with some lovely people when you organised going out for a meal. It was a really enjoyable evening. Thank you again for everything and please let’s all keep dancing to keep healthy and happy.

Fantastic experience: Zumba helped give me a boost of energy/happier/ a fun class -would have been good to have more time in class! Diane is upbeat/friendly, a joy to boost everyone’s mood

Fantastic experience: Since joining the class in February it’s made me feel so much better. I’ve started eating much healthier, I go to the gym most mornings and as a result I’ve lost over a stone in weight which is a bonus Would definitely recommend regardless of your ability, such good fun!!

Fantastic experience: I have done 5 classes so far and really enjoyed it. I feel fitter and happier for it. I have a stressful job and this class helps me to feel lighter. I have tried other classes but this one is more fun. Looking forward to the next one!

Fantastic experience: I joined Zumba Gold because I wanted to get back into doing some form of exercise. Since joining it has also inspired me to do something about my weight gain. I am pleased to say the weight is slowly going in the right direction! I am definitely feeling happier in myself. Years ago I did belong to a gym, but I never really enjoyed it. I would never have gone to a gym on my own as I never felt comfortable? I joined Zumba on my own and the minute I stepped into the room I was made welcome. It is fun and the ladies are all lovely. My family and friends have been surprised but encouraging. Taking that first step was the hardest!

Fantastic experience: I can’t imagine ever not doing Zumba now . Since Dianne put the classes on line , I’ve been doing between 2 and 3 classes a week and I try to attend the live classes when I can . Zumba helps with my well-being after a stressful day at work and my fitness level is much improved . I recommend it to anyone and Dianne and Rachel the ladies in the classes are so lovely and welcoming . They feel like friends now :-)

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Dianne’s classes via livestream for almost two years, after foregoing live classes in the gym during lockdown. I look forward to the regularly scheduled classes because they give me structure, and even though I’m at home, I feel like I have become friends with the instructor and students I see regularly. This has improved my mood and helped me maintain my weight. I stick with Dianne and her classes partly because of the feeling of friendship, even at a distance, and because I enjoy dancing to the upbeat music from all over the world. The recorded classes are a bonus, allowing me to continue to work out with them at anytime, even while on vacation in a hotel room. Not much space is required!

Fantastic experience: I look forward so much to Dianne and Rachel’s Zumba classes . The routines are easy to follow and the music is great. The sessions lift your mood and make you feel good especially during these difficult months. I would definitely recommend Zumba International to everyone -of any age and level - it’s a brilliant way to exercise.

Fantastic experience: Really good and fun. Will defo go again

Fantastic experience: I love joining the live online Zumba Gold sessions. They have been my saviour during lockdown and have really helped with my well-being. The music is great ( i now have loads of ear worms!!) the moves are just right for me and each session is easy to follow and well demonstrated by Dianne, whose enthusiasm is infectious. I will be really sorry when live classes start again as I live too far to come to them , so please please carry on the the Zoom ones. I haven't tried the Zumba or Zumba toning sessions yet.

Fantastic experience: I love the virtual Zumba classes with Dianne and Rachel, they have motivated me to get up off the sofa (and put down the chocolate) during lockdown. The classes are fun with great music and you can take them at your own pace depending on your fitness/energy level. They are easy to book and join online.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for more fantastic classes this evening Dianne and Rachel. I always feel energized, positive and raring to go after your classes and would highly recommend to others as a fun way to enjoy yourself and stay fit :)

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable classes,made exercise fun!

Fantastic experience: The classes have been a life saver during the lockdown, putting some structure into the week. Dianne and Rachels' cheerful enthusiasm is infectious(!). I really enjoy my Zumba and feel tired, but uplifted at the end. Everyone is friendly, creating a lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Hi Dianne, Rachel, Many thanks for bringing Zumba to my home! I have really missed my Zumba nights at Sunnybank and catching up with everyone. When you advised me that you were going to set up the virtual sessions, it was fantastic news! The classes are great and you are still teaching us new dances too, which is fantastic! Working and staying at home day in day out is not great but knowing that I have something different to do two nights a week really helps me get through. Thanks a million and I will ‘virtually’ see you soon. Shelley x

Fantastic experience: Great class. Love the livestreams!

Fantastic experience: Dianne and Rachel have been offering their amazing zumba classes on zoom during the lockdown in the UK. I literally cannot wait to participate in the classes.. It's something to look forward to on a Tuesday and Thursday early evenings. I love the zumba and tone as I have some heavier weights now and Im really beginning to notice a difference. I love the zoom classes as there is no travelling involved and my daughter and I have plenty of space to dance freely together. Long may it continue!! Thankyou! Suzy and Jaz xxx

Fantastic experience: I have been dancing twice a week at Dianne's classes for 9 years and hardly ever miss a class. They are great fun, the music is fantastic and most importantly really help to keep me fit. I never knew how much I would enjoy dancing! Dianne works hard keeping everything fresh -- with additions to the playlists and new dances. No same old same old for Dianne. Since lockdown in March, the classes via Zoom have been such a boost. I look forward so much to Tuesdays and Thursdays and they never disappoint. They lighten my mood during these horrible times and that makes such a difference to me. It is the most important thing at the moment really. Dianne is a lovely person and she really makes Zumba dancing great fun. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to class as it means I can forget about lockdown and enjoy the dancing, exercise and music.

Fantastic experience: These Zumba classes on Zoom are amazing and a total diversion from the stresses and strains of lockdown. I heartily recommend them. They're such fun.

Negative experience: Really slow and not very modern. If you are looking for an upbeat high energy session then I wouldn't recommend.
