Introduction
One of the most well-known fitness companies in the
world, Zumba offers more than 200,000 class
locations across 180 nations. Although the
company's iconic "Zumba" Latin dance fitness class
is the brand's best-known product, it also offers a
variety of other workout options, including water
aerobics, kid's fitness classes, strength training, and
kid-friendly fitness classes.Zumba's most well-known
and popular program is its namesake class, Zumba.
This dance class features high- and low-intensity
intervals that help improve cardiovascular fitness
while also enhancing balance, coordination, agility,
and to some degree, strength through the application
of beginner-accessible choreography.
History/Founder
Zumba was officially founded in the
United States in 2001 by Alberto "Beto"
Perez, a Colombian dancer who started
the fitness class in the '90s in his home
country. Perez's "rags to riches" story
could be considered serendipity—he was
teaching an aerobics class at his local
gym when he realized he'd forgotten his
usual music.In 2000, Perez decided to
launch his fitness class in the United
States. In 2001, he partnered with two
investors and released a series of three
Zumba DVDs available through an
infomercial.
