Fabila's Fitness Club

Easy to follow Merengue Zumba Fitness routine. Choreographed by me.

I recently had a trial class at a new gym in the Lekki-Ikate axis. It was great fun and I am slowly getting back my groove. Here are some pictures from the class. To keep up to date with my classes, services and events, follow me on Instagram @fabilasfitness I tend to be most active on it.

Here is a choreography I pieced together just before I discovered a bun was cooking! Enjoy

I usually shake my head when I hear people say “Zumba fitness” does not work. I did not create the program, but I can testify that it works. Before starting a career as a Zumba instructor, I stayed fit by taking weekly Zumba classes. I believe it is ignorant for anyone to talk down on a fitness programme. I, for example, hate Taebo, Kickboxing, or Steps, but that does not mean they don’t work. I just do not like them. I love dancing and anything that involves dance would naturally appeal to me. Do not make others hate a fitness program, just because it doesn't suit your personal style. Choose yours and let others choose theirs! 

M eet Lokya, wife and mother of 2 beautiful children. Lokya walked into her first Zumba class in March 2012, ever since then, she has taking her fitness life more seriously. Most of all she has witnessed tremendous results. Lokya is also in full-time employment, yet, she is able to effectively manage work, family, and exercise. I asked Patience a few questions and I hope her answers would be an inspiration to you.  1. What was your dress size before joining my Zumba classes?  Can't believe I am using past tense, I was a UK size 18.

I have received numerous calls from prospective clients enquiring about what to wear to a zumba fitness class. This led to me to write on this as I believe there are many others who are asking the same question. A zumba fitness class is a dance workout inspired by Latin dance genres. You could wear your regular gym outfit to participate in the class, or any other comfortable clothing that would not restrict your movements. In my zumba class, you would sweat a lot, so make sure you wear clothes that you do not mind sweating in.
