The Best of
Weschester 2008

"Workout That Doesn't Feel Like a Workout. Zumba® with Laura Solow
"...No dumbells, no bars, no bands, and none of those crazy half-balls for core work. Just music—salsa, hip-hop, merengue—and you dancing. They call this a workout; we call it fun."

"Finally, a fitness class that's fun for even the staunchest gym-o-phobe.
"...Laura Solow, who, after discovering Zumba and losing 30 pounds, was inspired to make teaching it her second career."

"I can honestly say I had a really good time. I wasn't the only one everyone around me in the class was smiling—to the point where I had to stop and think, am I really in a gym?"

"Unlike many other exercises, Zumba® eliminated tedious repetition and boring drills. Zumba® combines aerobic interval training with a combination of slow and fast dance moves."

"Laura Solow was one of the first Zumba instructors to get certified and currently teaches in both Larchmont and Mamaroneck.
With a dance and choreography background from Carnegie Mellon Solow set out to bring Zumba to the Westchester area after getting her certificate in 2006."

Zumba had an immediate effect on Solow, who lost nearly 20 pounds after teaching for a couple of months. According to Solow, Zumba provides a one-of-a-kind workout combining fat burning and muscle building.

"You get a unique, well-rounded approach to exercise, she said."

"You can't do it without a smile on your face."
"...Laura Solow, put on Shakira"s 'Hips Don't Lie' and started to move. The women followed along, and before long they were imitating the kinds of moves the Latin singer might showcase in her music videos. And they were laughing."
