I really would like to thank those instructors that are teaching virtual classes. I love being able to work out and stay healthy while this stay at home order is in place. I have never done Zumba Strong and have done it now 3 times and will continue to it as it is AWESOME. Kathryn, the instructor is excellent and I am happy to be a part of this. Thank you so much. Also the Total Body classes with Jeff are awesome as well and I like that you don’t need equipment. Thank you again!
