Marilyn Zumba

Can i take Marilyn back to Florida with me?
i used to do zumba in florida, but switched to strength training classes because it wasn’t as fun as it used to be.
but coming over here, Marilyn got me hooked (plus i love to dance) and every day of my summer visit, i am at a zumba class with her at LA Fitness in Irvine!
Going to miss her class a lot and her free spirit and crazy moves!

I been taking Marilyn’s Zumba classes at her 24hr groupx sessions since Feb 2012. It has been one of the best thing that has ever happened to my workout routine. Prior to that I was an avid Bikram Yoga person, and I did Bikram non stop for 2 years. As much as I have the greatest respect for Bikra Yoga, at the end of the day its a 140 $ a month class, with a 90minute commitment a day. I have to be there at the class 10minutes prior. That is when I found Marilyn and her Zumba! The first few classes I took, I was little off, and confused, but I loved the music and her play list. The second class onwards I was really hooked. Its like non-​stop dance party for 60minutes, just like club music. and I love dancing and Marilyn made it all the more fun and easy to follow along the steps. As it seems like a dance, its very much cardio, coz you are pretty much jumbing and turning and moving the whole time you are in the class. Having done Bikram, I can say I sweat so much in her class, sometime I even wonder if this bikram. Remember this is in room temperature and body heat generated by my own body. I am happy to say I have quit Bikram and just solely been on ZUmba alone for my cardio, and I have kept my weight off and kept my fitness on-​track.
Apart from all the technical talk, Marilyn is super fun and she makes every feel welcomed, and people of all levels enjoy her class. She has a great following in OC, as I really have to rush 15minutes to get a good spot in her class, it gets crowded! Apart from this place, she also teaches at 24 groupx at spectrum/​costca mesa/​LA Fitness!
Check out Zumba — Calorie Burning has never been this fun! (Just to let you in on a secret — if you have a shot of tequila it helps you dance more — and you will burn off the calorie of teqila in no time in the class, so its more of an investment and never tell anyone I said that!).

Marilyn brings such positive energy to each and every class! She is amazing and it shows with all her following clients! I had shoulder surgery a year ago and continued to take her Zumba classes at 3 different locations all while wearing a sling and taking dance to a low impact moves so I wouldn’t hurt my healing. It’s been wonderful to now be able to fully move and dance with all my classmates! I highly recommend Marilyn for every single class she teaches! You ROCK Marilyn!

Marilyn is the real deal. I’ve been taking her classes for over 1 year and she brings an addictive positive energy to her sessions that should be bottled and sold. Fastest and happiest hour ever, simply because she knows how to work it… aiy!

I went to Marilyn’s Zumba Toning class at the Irvine 24 Hours FItness over the holidays and had a blast! She is really fun and peppy. I am sad I can’t go to the other classes she teaches since it’s not local for me. I got an excellent work out and had fun dancing. Thanks for the fun! :)

Marilyn is one of the most caring and giving people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She makes all of her classes not only fun but a positive atmosphere for anyone to enjoy. If you’re new and looking into Zumba, I highly suggest Marilyn.
