The program is now offered by Zumba® Fitness-trained instructors in more than
400 locations across the country including fitness clubs, community centers,
YMCA's and rehabilitation centers.
"Aquatic workouts provide tremendous benefits for the body, but they're also
fun and invigorating" said Alberto Perlman, CEO of Zumba® Fitness. "Everyone
loves a pool party, and that's exactly what Zumba® brings to the aquatic
world, with our contagious Latin and international rhythms and spicy dance
moves."
 Aqua Zumba® follows the traditional Zumba® formula already popular with the
seven-and-a-half million people taking Zumba® classes each week. However, the
program's rhythms, Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Reggaeton among others, have
been adapted to use the water's resistance for a safe and extremely
effective aquatic workout. In fact, participants are able to get a complete
workout in half the time because the resistance of the water is 12 times
that on land.
Perlman also noted that Aqua Zumba® is a smart alternative for those whose
movements are confined due to injury, chronic pain or those going through
rehabilitation.
"In addition to providing full-body conditioning, water-based workouts can
be very therapeutic. Zumba® already brings smiles to the faces of our
millions of followers on land and we are thrilled to be making waves in the
pool now too," he said.
To ensure key health elements were addressed when creating the program,
Zumba® Fitness consulted with former Reebok Master Trainer Joy Prouty, Maria
Browning, and Mimi Rodriguez Adami, all seasoned veterans of the fitness
world.
Aqua Zumba® is accredited by the Aquatic Exercise Association. To find an
