At Unitec, staying active doesn’t have to be a chore. The Zumba classes offered on campus provide the perfect mix of fitness and fun for those looking to break a sweat while having a great time. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or someone just looking to try something new, these classes offer an inviting atmosphere for everyone.
Motivation to Move
Many participants come to Zumba with different backgrounds, but they all share a common goal: to enjoy their workouts. Yoko said, “I like Zumba. I used to do a little, but after leaving the gym, I joined the Unitec Zumba class.” Swasti echoed this sentiment, adding, “I’m not a gym person. I like to do activities like dancing or playing sports. I decided to enrol when I saw that Unitec was offering Zumba classes.”
A Fun and Welcoming Atmosphere
The Zumba classes at Unitec are more than just a workout—they’re a community. The atmosphere is lively and inclusive, with participants of all skill levels joining in. Yoko shared, “It’s a good, fun atmosphere, and I see the whole group enjoys it.” Swasti added, “The instructor is really good. She plays great music and helps us feel relaxed if we’re tight.”
The well-structured sessions start with quick, upbeat tracks, gradually slowing down as the class winds down. Swasti said, “The movements can be quite tricky, but after a few classes, you get the hang of it and feel less concerned about making missteps.”
For the Hesitant Newcomers
For those who might be on the fence about joining, the message from current participants is clear: take the plunge! Yoko enthusiastically said, “Just come with me.” Swasti shared her own experience: “I was a bit nervous the first time joining because there were a few people, but I just took a chance, and now I’m really enjoying it.”
So, if you’re looking to shake up your fitness routine with something fun and social, Unitec’s Zumba classes might be just what you need. Come for the workout, stay for the community—and leave feeling energised and uplifted.
