Sorry I can't be at the at Christmas party. Have a great time. I have been unwell but I look forward to coming back next year fighting fit, Zumba has been beneficial to my health as it one of the best ways to help with Osteoporosis in the Spine and all joints. Charlie you are a patient and caring instructor and I have always looked forward to coming every week. Have a Merry Christmas and a safe an relaxing New Year to you and everyone at Zumba.

Zumba toning Saturday morning: fun, clever, hypnotic, challenging, full of music that makes you move better. Such catchy music, and addictive momentum, to make you do more than you thought possible..and so you get stronger.

Best Zumba Instructor!
I recently brought a friend from Perth to Charli's class. She had been doing zumba over on Perth for a couple of years. Afterward the class she told me that Charli was the best instructor she'd ever had and that the class format was fab!! Great feedback Charlie and of course I agree with all that!
Phyllis Pettitt | Beaumont | Oct 22, 2012

Change your mood
I am always so glad that no matter how glum, frumpy, irritable or frustrated I feel before Zumba, ( p'raps I've been sitting still, getting cold, paying bills on the computer..) that mood changes within 10 minutes and I feel amused, happy and invigourated with life. What an awesome mood changer Charli's classes are!
Elise | Rose Park | Aug 22, 2012
blessing!
was addicted to choreo step classes in the past till knee injury. Fortunately found Studio Charli zumba classes near home(moved in recently)after being lost for several months. One door closes and the other opens. Now getting addicted to zumba classes I went to most of classes and places to check them out and here I am in channel 7!! Just love the music, Charli's choreo and people.
Sookyeong Kim | Heathpool | Jul 12, 2012
You looked great tonight
It was great seeing you on Today Tonight! slow paced now thats tempting!!! But I need the motivation so I will keep away from Gold Class for now, Thank you for the effort you put in for us all. There is never a dull moment at your classes its all full of fun and lots of variety every week. The lady was got it right in the story we always leave your classes with a smile.

Hurts so good
I just love the boxing class on Monday nights! It still hurts every part of me after 3 days but it's a good hurt makes me feel good. Thanks Charli for introducing it to me / us for bringing boxing in to our week it breaks things up a bit . I still love my Zumba even though I m still unco !! Toni x
Toni C | Kensington | May 31, 2012
Loved that class
just back from zumba-....brain and body had so much fun, gorgeous choreography, the right degree of challenge, addictive music, much internal laughter, endorphins going crazy, gotta love the feeling....
Liesje | Rose Park | May 05, 2012
Fun at Zumba today
Charli's choices of music,the beat, the rhythms,the choreography, her dancing and humour are all brilliant. Charli is an amazing teacher who inspires and gets the best out of anyone there. When you go, you will have felt you are street-dancing in Rio, belly dancing in Egypt, skating on a canal in Holland, irish jigging in Dublin, cha cha ing in a ballroom,.... whatever! she takes you there!

21May 2 Year Celebration
Charli told us tonight that on the 21st May we will be celebrating 2 years of Zumba with Charli. Last year's party was a blast with over 75 Zumbaholics in residence. Let's beat that this year. It is Sharon's 2 year anniversary as well as our longest serving Zumbaholic and she is sure to be there. Let's make it a special night for the girls.

New Shoes
I've got new PROPER Zumba shoes!! They not ony have the zumba logo all over the shoes but the soles too. They sent me a bag full of different coloured laces. (it really doesn't take much these days to get me excited). Also as a footnote -in relation to my recent attempted suicide via sportsbra - I now have an expensive sports duster.
Jenny Randall | Kent Town | Apr 19, 2012
Grateful to be back
After 3 months of family issues that seemed to infringe upon every available Zumba session, I today said "enough". I was a little concerned about how I would go tonight at Zumba having had 7 weeks off. Although I tried to cycle during the time off, whilst ferrying kids around etc. it isn't the same. Tonight there were happy friendly faces, new routines and old favourites and I felt sore but so good afterwards. Thanks Charlie.
Jenny H | Kent Town | Apr 04, 2012
Thank You Charli
When I was little, I wanted to learn to dance so badly. I never had any illusions about being a professional dancer or anything like that - I just wanted to dance. After a lot of nagging, my parents enrolled me in a dance school and I was thrilled. With my little pink outfit and dance pumps, I never missed a class.After a couple of months only, the director of the school asked that I be removed from the school. I was obviously going to grow too tall and my hands were ugly - I would never be able to express myself with any elegance. It's now been nearly fifty years since my uncerimonious removal from anything to do with dancing. Now thanks to you Charli, I can dance. It was all I wanted to do. I dance like a frog in a blender, I have no co-ordination (when the class is moving south, I am off in a northerly direction) I still have short and pudgy hands. I never will be elegant. I never did grow tall, but I am dancing. I didn't really care about getting fitter and more toned - that is happening as a by-product. Thank you.
Jenny Randall | Kent Town | Mar 16, 2012
Zumba Toning Rocked!
Great Zumba Toning class tonight. Lots of fun but sure I will be feeling it tomorrow. LOVE IT

Hello from Argentina
Hi Charli and all the girls in Kent Town! Greetings from Argentina! I miss your classes so I am trying to keep fit with salsa classes here in Argentina. Have a great Christmas and see you in the New Year! Love, Sandra M.
Sandra | Argentina | Dec 12, 2011
It Feels Good to be Back
To all those who think you can get fit with "Zumba with Charli", loose weight and then rest on your laurels, think again. I have had some time off recently and severely regret it. A date with Charli should just be a part of life. Get into a routine and stick to it. Many thanks Charli for welcoming me back to the fold. I promise not to have a break again! And now I have to loose weight again!
Jenny | Kent Town | Nov 24, 2011
Lazy
Hi Charli Hurt my back a few months ago and then Zumba was not in my routine just the physio however am now better and will be returning tonight at Leabrook, but will take it easy to start. See you tonight. Greer

Gossip Page
Just read your message Jess. I mean't every word. You are a quiet achiever and I admire you for it. I have met your mum. Lovely lady and a lovely daughter. It is inspirational to see how we are changing. A happy wonderful group of girls/ladies indeed. And think of this... Charlies Zumba classes brought us all together!
Jenny | Kent Town | Sep 18, 2011
Thanks Jenny and Charli
This is my first time on the gossip page. First thankyou to Jenny for the lovely words of encouragement and may I say that her and Jane are doing really well each week. A thankyou must also go to Charli for her fun classes each week. When I first signed up I didn't really know what to expect but I have to say that after attending for over a year now I have renewed energy and I really enjoy attending the classes, learning new routines and meeting new people. I can notice a change in appearance and enjoy getting compliments on how I look from family and friends and people from Zumba. And I am pleased to also say that after many weeks of persistence I have managed to convince my Mum to attend the classes which she loves! She says Charli probably doesn't know the positive impact she has on us.
Jess | Knightsbridge | Sep 13, 2011
Playing hookey for Zumba
Yes, naughty but true. Sometimes you just have to have a day off work so you can go to Zumba. Struggled with a sore throat for 10 days and decided to take a day off. The 9.15 class seemed like a good way to celebrate "me time". Came away feeling great and although I could have gone to work then I didn't. Thanks Charli for that space just for us and for lots of fun.
mandy | knightsbridge | Aug 31, 2011
Jess looks fab too!
When I was writing about Sarah last week I mean't to also say how wonderful Jess is looking. She has lost heaps of weight and is a real quiet achiever. Well done Jess!
Jenny | Kent Town | Aug 30, 2011
Weight Loss
OMG doesn't Sarah look gorgeous. I hardly recognise her from the girl I first met 12 months ago. Go Girl. Think I need to go to the next stage of my weight loss (zumba with Charli) journey for this summer. I have broken mine down into smaller goals and 12 months on the weight hasn't come back. Thanks to Charli of course!
Jenny | Kent Town | Aug 23, 2011
Zumbarette
Have had a sore back (not from Zumba) and will go back this Wed. 17 August will be careful but I am missing it toooo much so hope all goes well.
Di | Leabrook | Aug 17, 2011
Can't wait to be back
Have been away, and missing Zumba with Charli, and although the sun and swimming was great in Fiji, I can't wait to be back at Zumba.
Jenny | Kent Town | Aug 01, 2011
Twinkle Toes
I love Zumba but returned too early after breaking a toe earlier this year. An ultrasound shows that I now have tendonitis (ouch!) Sadly, no dancing for me for a few more weeks. But I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing soon!
Karen | Kent Town | Jul 19, 2011
Lovin Zumba
Tried many different types of fitness classes and with a range of instructors. But Charli is the best, she makes fitness so much fun that it never really feels like we are working out. I find myself getting way more coordinated than I ever thought my body could be.
Mariska | Rose Park | Jul 08, 2011
Zumba really works!
Been doing Zumba with Charlie for nearly a year now and I can confidently say I have lost weight, i feel much fitter and healthier. But most of all my weekly Zumba classes have become the highlights of my night. I look forward to Charlie's classes. Her positive attitude and great personality have made me a happier and healthier person. Love it!!!
Nicole | Burnside | Jun 24, 2011
Chilli in Winter!
Between colds and the chilly weather, sometimes it is hard to leave the comfort of the warm loungeroom and TV to exercise, but it is definitely worth it. Charli gets us warm by the second routine and then sweating by the third! Well worth the effort. And then you can go home and eat some of those comfort foods and not feel quite so guilty!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Jun 15, 2011
One Year!
CONGRATULATIONS to Charli and Ted who have recently celebrated one year of Zumba! It is hard to believe you have only been running 'Zumba with Charli' for one year, as your classes are so organized, established and popular; a credit to your hard work, passion and dedication to Zumba. Once again, Happy Birthday!!! Keep up the good work!
Josie. M | Prospect | May 31, 2011
birthday celebrations
I couldn't make it to the birthday party, but congratulations to Charli and Ted. Your classes are fantastic Charli - always fun, inspiring and, just when you think you're getting the hang of something, they change. It's great to be challenged, both physically and mentally! By far the best and most fun way to keep fit. You've done amazingly well in only a year. Well done for all the hard work and dedication that must be behind it. The website is great - very informative and easy to navigate around. Thanks for being such genuinely nice people. Go Zumba!
Henrietta | Tusmore | May 28, 2011
Happy Birthday
Congratulations to Charli and Ted on their first year of Zumba classes here in Adelaide. There are lots of places to do Zumba but there is only one Charli. You guys deserve all the success you get because you are genuinely lovely people and your classes are fun friendly. Happy 1st Birthday P.S thanks for the delicious cannoli and my Zumba bracelet - I sooo love it!
Deb | Erindale | May 25, 2011
Prizes & Zumberettes!
Charli and Ted were giving out prizes tonight but...... I think Charli deserves a prize for the largest Zumba class in SA!!!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | May 25, 2011
So many Zumberettes
For everyone (all 80 OR SO OF US) that went to the birthday class tonight..well done. And thank you Charli and Ted. It was a hoot. Looked very much like the ad on TV with so many in the class!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | May 25, 2011
Well Done Studio Charli
I cant believe it has been a year. So many of us have changed literally!! Not bored and still inspired!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | May 23, 2011
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Let me be the first to wish you a HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY Charli Zumba and thank you for getting me exercising and dancing again. You are a real inspiration and motivator! Keep up the good work and hope to have you around for many, many more years.
Janet Valle | Magill | May 20, 2011
always uncoordinated
I have always thought I was uncoordinated, often tripping over my own feet. Since starting Zumba with Charli I've stopped falling. Not only is Zumba so much fun, I'm finally becoming body aware. I love Zumba
marie | hillcrest | May 15, 2011
I Dig Studio Charli
I am loving the new Zumba routines Charli- you have got it going on! Just started Boot Camp and can already feel the difference it is making to my body after just two sessions. Thank you for making exercising so enjoyable and for motivating me! Nearly a year now and still not bored! xoxo

Thanks to the hot moves I learn at Zumba every week I no longer embarass myself (or my friends!) on the d-floor! The supermarket is a different story though...!

I have been away from Zumba with Charli for almost a week an I can't stand it! Looking forward to coming back.

A request for a song
Hi Charli, Daisy would like us to do the routine to the song by Cascada (evacuate the dance floor) on Wednesday or Thursday night as she would like to see what moves we have! Thanks for getting us out of bed today. It wasn't easy but well worth it. Sorry I was a bit fuzzy??
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Apr 26, 2011
Mrs
I started Zumba with Charli late 2010 after reading an article about Zumba in the Sunday Mail. Over the years I had tried several fitness activities including gym centres [boring], Line Dancing, Belly Dancing, Jazz Ballet and Classical Ballet but these classes did not last long as I felt embarrassed because of my lack of coordination. Being in my 60's I wondered if I might be 'too old ' for Zumba but I soon found that Charli's classes are non threatening, where you can work at your own pace and no one minds if you get a bit muddled. In fact age is no barrier, all you need is to be "young at heart.'' Since starting ZUMBA my fitness has improved considerably. I recently paddled a kayak about 5 kms and then did a beach walk the same distance in soft sand. Thank you Charli for making exercise so much fun. Dalia

"New" Jeans
My Zumba journey started September last year, I was a size 16 and attend 4ish classes per week. By December I had dropped a whole dress size and as a reward bought myself a new pair of jeans online. I was really looking forward to wearing them but when they came in the mail they were way too tight! So I put them in the wardrobe and completely forgot about them till last Friday(when I pulled them out due to being lazy with laundry). I was in a hurry and buzzed off to work but found myself throughout the day constantly hitching up these new jeans! I am now a size 10-12 and owe it to Charli! THANKYOU!
Sarah | Kent Town | Apr 21, 2011
Ooo!
Last night I did my first ever toning session. Let me just say, I am feeling it today. See you next week!
Ellycia Kruger | Kensington | Apr 15, 2011
My "New" Wardrobe
I started Zumba with Charli in August of 2010 weighing a hefty 71kgs. I didn't think my 50+ y.o. body would cope with it, so I started gently. It took a couple of months of going 3-4 times a week and I could see the changes. My weight didnt change until this year after I had developed the muscle tone. Then it came off big time (7 kgs!). Today I gingerly went to my "old" wardrobe to see what would fit. I am sitting here at my desk in a suit I havn't worn since 2006!! OMG am I proud of myself. Thanks Charli!! And for everyone else...keep at it!!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Apr 13, 2011
Thanks Charli
Last Saturday morning at class Charli gave my mum and I one of the fabulous wristbands with bells. How fantastic - we both loved it.... my mum is 79 years old and loves her Zumba as do I. It gives me so much pleasure going to class and feeling fantastic after. Thank you Thank you Thank you Charli... Mum and I love it
Shelley Wright | Kent Town | Apr 11, 2011
Giggling Girleez
I came to Zumba this morning with my lovely new Zumba T-shirt which meant no wardrobe malfunctions today. Kylie and I were sent to the naughty steps for giggling in class. Can we help it if its fun! Thanks Charli!
Jenny | Kent Town | Apr 07, 2011
Bells Where Ever I Go
This morning I was 'awarded' a groovy "Wild for Zumba" wristband for participating in the Zumba Flashmob. Charli, I would like to 'award' you with my big thanks for your inspiring, creative, and fun classes! Zumba gets those endorphins pumping and I always feel great after class. My body has become more toned, stronger and more flexible. My inhibitions are being shed and sometimes I can kid myself that I am a little graceful. LOVE IT.
Camilla | Knightsbridge and KentTown | Apr 05, 2011
Last Class Wonder!
Yesterday I was a last class wonder as my month had run out but from the comfort of my laptop in the loungeroom in my PJ's I have committed to the next month of exercise and fun with Charli! Get the direct debit details from the newsletter and it is really easy to do. Much better than having to race to an ATM on the way to classes or get the cash out only to have hubby or kids take it before it gets to Charli. Print off your receipt and email Charli with the receipt no. Somewhat makes u for the wardrobe malfunction of yesterday. Sorry girls. Them puppies have a mind of their own!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Apr 01, 2011
Addicted to Zumba!
Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and unable to exercise for a few months, my fitness levels were poor and I was not physically (or mentally) in good shape. I decided to give Zumba with Charli a go. Wow! I can say with absolute assurance, that if it were not for Charli’s professionalism, passion and dance background, this Zumba class would not have been as exciting, enjoyable or comfortably challenging. Despite the mix of ages and fitness levels, everyone was moving, smiling and getting a great workout. Charli is certainly an impressive Zumba Instructor, and thanks to her, I am now well and truly on my way back to feeling happy, healthy and full of energy! I’ve lost weight and am feeling tight and toned; all this in only a few short weeks. Thanks Charli! I can safely say I am addicted to Zumba!

New Routines!
Brilliant session this morning Charli. The new routines were fab. We could do them hard or not so hard depending on how we felt.

Loving Zumba Toning
Finally tried zumba toning classes and i love them. Prior to trying I wasnt sure what to expect and enjoyed regular zumba far too much to want to venture out and try something different. But its a great combination of toning and zumba moves. I highly recommend it.

Eager to Zumba!
I arrived at my class @ Leakbrook this morning..mmm...no Charli, carpark completely empty. Oh dear I think... Charli is sick and I didn't look at my messages this morning. OR perhaps I am 1 1/2 hours early for the class!!!!! Back to work and we will try again at 10.30am!! Duh!

Feedback
Hi Charli, Your classes are so worth the 20-25 minute drive to get too. Love them, so much fun. Best in town I must say, hehe. Can I check out the tops you are selling? and do you have any drink bottles?

Great Feedback
I went out to three clients this week whom I havn't seen for 3 months, since I did their last BAS and they all said how great I look. Wow! It's funny I can't see it but clearly others can! Thanks ZZZZZZZZ

It's Official!
Sarah rang her friends last night and proclaimed that it was official, she has "no rythm" but loved Zumba with Charli.

Move and Groove
Not only is Zumba great exercise, it stood me in good stead for the dance floor at my son's wedding reception! I've not danced since I was a teenager, but Zumba classes [and a little wine] gave me the confidence and some moves to really shake it! I had a blast.

Zumba in the Heat
Thanks for the class last night Charli. Eventhough a lot of people chickened out due to the heat, the few that arrive had a ball! Great workout and lots of fun and sweat...
Theresa | Leabrook | Feb 01, 2011
ZUMBA class is still on!!
Wow... its a hot summer day. But tonights classes are still on. See you there :-)
Charli | Leabrook | Jan 31, 2011
I'm soooo sore!
Wow Toning is so different to regular Zumba. I am sore in places I didn't know I had. Must be good for me!
Jenny | Kent Town | Jan 22, 2011
Zumba has everything!
We arrived this morning to find that we were having an "outdoor" class (due to church renno's). But like the trooper she is, Charli soldiered on, even when the constabulary arrived she just kept Zumbaing on. When they came the second time she offered him an iceblock! Love your work Charli. Frankly a complimentary lesson wouldn't have gone astray, he had rather a "policemans belly"
Jenny | Kent Town | Jan 15, 2011
Great to be back
So good to back to classes with Charli - Just love it and can feel it doing be some good again. My goal is to lose weight and feel good about myself this year - Zumba is definately helping.

Jane has been having a rough time lately and it was great to see her smiling after Saturday and then Monday's session. We both agreed that we need it! It is our happy pill!
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Jan 11, 2011
Soooo Good to B back!
It is great to be back Charli. I could feel my tummy muscles after saturday's class, so I definitely needed it! And I have to concentrate again with all the new routines.
Jenny Hilbig | Kent Town | Jan 11, 2011
Can't Wait
Can't wait to get back into Charlies Zumba class. Need to lose that Christmas indulgence. Will be there Saturday morning for sure. I have missed my zumba classes!
Nicole | Burnside | Jan 07, 2011
Definate highlight!
Thanks for being a definate highlight of my weeks stay in Adelaide!!! I only wish they did Zumba in Darwin.... but then I don't think anyone could do it as well as you!

I am so going to miss my Zumba during the break, however I have already started to be good about my food. Thanks for everything Charli & Ted. The last 4 months has been a blast!
Jenny | Kent Town | Dec 23, 2010
Thank you!
I just wanted to write this to say a huge thank you to Charli for this mornings class. She had been up all night the night before with food poisoning and still came to class with as much energy as ever. Thank you so much for your dedication to helping us get fit and healthy. It's much appreciated :)

Get to a class!
If you're reading this and contemplating going to a Zumba class.. stop contemplating and do it! I've been going for a few months now and I'm seriously obsessed - it's one thing I look forward to every week! I was so uncoordinated at the start, but every week you get better at it. Lately I've been doing the toning classes, and those sticks are seriously deceptive. They don't look much but they really work. I can now do full push ups! Oh and Charli is an awesome instructor.. I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else because I know Zumba with Charli is probably the best :) Beware though, you'll most likely become addicted!

Zumba Family
I have been doing Zumba with Charli for 5 months now and have never been to a friendlier and more welcoming work- out/gym/class environment!! It really motivates you to come along when you know that you will be getting an authentic Zumba workout, which is fun, energetic and sweaty!! The atmosphere is fantastic, you feel energised and supported by your fellow Zumbians! If you have ever felt like an outsider at the gym, come to Charli's class and I guarantee that you will be hooked and become a part of something motivating, healthy and fun!!!
Jenna | SA | Dec 09, 2010
Amazing!
I really love your new site. Continue the brilliant work and keep providing premium Zumba classes around Adelaide. Keep people healthy and happy, the fun way!

Zumba Crazy
I have been doing Charli's classes now for 3 weeks and I'm hooked... I love the energy she exudes to everyone in the class and it's such fun. I have been to a few other Zumba Classes but haven't enjoyed them half as much as I enjoy Charli's classes. I really want to thank you Charli for your fabulous classes and making me feel I have found something I enjoy again. Thanks

I came over from NZ for a week and went to one of Charli's classes. It was so much fun that I couldn't believe when the hour was up! Keep up the good work, hopefully I'll be back soon so I can come to another class.

Charli's Zumbaholic Crew
A few weeks ago I couldn't get to my normal Wednesday night class because of kid things and so I tried another Zumba instructor (who promotes herself alot) and the class was ok but I didn't feel "worked out" afterwards and no-one seemed to be having fun. It was supposed to start at 11am and it started at 11.15 and I asked someone else if that was common and she said yes. As I was saying, with Charli, you get variety, the benefit of her years of beautiful dancing, lots of fun (especially when you muck up) an excellent workout and good value.I am now so much more toned that I was 3 months ago. I am starting to lose weight and should be a Yummy Mummy by Xmas. (I wish).Thanks Charli

Miss
I've been doing Zumba with Charli for a few months now and I'm excited to write that the blood, sweat and tears are paying off!! I've lost about two inches around my tummy and waist and I'm looking a lot more toned and am feeling so much more energized... even after doing a double class, which can be really brutal to my poor body! I really don't know how you do it every week, Charli!! PS, no actual blood involved, not many tears either but definitely lots and lots of sweat :-)

Visit from Sydney
Travelling down from Sydney I found the Zumba class more giving then the previous classes I’ve attended back home. With a more giving Zumba coordination, environmentally great vibe in the class as well as a passionate instructor, the class was over my expectations and I desire Charlie’s classes in Sydney! Now I am back home with more of an aerobic class then a Zumba class…

Yep. The Toning class works. I reacquainted myself with some long lost muscles this morning! Ouch! You wouldn't think that those little stick things could make a difference, but there you go...they do!

Charli's new routines seem to be aimed at trying to "whip us into shape" for summer. Everything is up a notch guys and it feels so good after. (And funny when you mess up in class). I have had some problems with insomnia for the past couple of years. Well thanks to Zumba with Charli, no more. I sleep like a baby. The warm down song (the last one) is just beautiful. Thanks so much Charli.

Zumba, ilyyy!
I absolutely love Zumba! I enjoy Zumba with Charli so much that it made me go out and buy the DVDs. The classes are so motivating, Charli you are an amazing instructor, I have the best time during the classes! The DVDS are really great for home (loving the toning sticks!) but the classes have an unbeatable atmosphere. Addicted to Zumba thanks to Charli, I’ve never felt better! Thank you Charli :)

Warning Zumba is addictive even at my ripe old age of 50. I have spent 3 years on the couch with old athletic injuries and really thought I was on my way to premature dottage. My friend Carol asked me to come to Zumba and the rest my friends is history. I only wished I had measured my arms, legs and waist before I started. I know by my clothes that my body has changed, but it would be interesting to see by how much. So do this before you start, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

I am 6 weeks into my Zumba journey with Charli. I can now start to see some real results with my clothing. And the thing is, it is fun! Thanks Charli!

Addicted to Zumba!
I've always had trouble getting into any type of exercise, but Zumba with Charli doesn’t feel like a work out; to me it's fun, motivating and exciting! I seriously can't get enough of it, I now do 3 hours of Zumba a week and it's made me WANT to exercise. I love Zumba and I’ve seen a massive improvement in my energy levels and of course I’m seeing the results as well! Thanks Charli!!

zumba is fun and refreshing
Zumba with Charli is an excellent stress release. The dance moves are really easy to pick up and the best thing is you can go at your own pace while getting some decent exercise, thanks Charli.

Chari is a great instructor
I am addicted to Zumba, it's so much fun and I feel really good the next day (unlike some other exercise where my body feels uncomfortable). Charli is a great instructor; she's fun, energetic and encouraging.
