Workout # 17 - Zumba at Studio Ynami

Friday night my friend, Megan, and I did a zumba class. This  studio has only  zumba classes and a newly added hip hop class and I think a stretching class. Normally you need a referral to try a class for free, but the instructor/owner was sweet and let us try a class without one. The place is fairly small with mirrors on one wall and lots of free-standing fans along the walls. The class was pretty full and lasted an hour. It was definitely more of a low impact style of class, so it moved a little slower. It would be a perfect workout for those needing something slower paced. I was glad to have a friend with me; otherwise the time would have gone really slowly :)  Other members came up and welcomed us and chatted at the end of class.  I think people enjoy the class; it's just at a different intensity level then I'm used to.

Jacob didn't take the class he just jumped in for the pic :)

So the nitty gritty:
Friendly people
Easy class - low intensity
All women - comfortable environment

Would I recommend this gym/studio? No, unless you are brand new to working out or need a fun way to lose a few pounds before starting a more intense workout. But for me... it was not enough of a workout and not as much fun as other zumba classes.
