Curves of Bonifacio Global City introduces the new Curves® Circuit with Zumba® Fitness classes. Ladies, you can try it for free!

I’ve first heard of Curves from my uncle a few years ago. He was so impressed with how a 30-minute workout routine improves and tones a woman’s body in a short period of time.

Before I got pregnant in 2009, I was regularly working out at Eclipse Gym together with my boyfriend turned husband. For just a few months the benefits of strength training was evident. I just had to quit due to the increased salary deduction at that time. I later discovered that I was pregnant and I think the timing was perfect because I used to lift heavy equipment and I did intense workout every other day. I need to reclaim my pre-pregnancy body – put on some weight, tone muscles and add curves. Now this Curves Circuit + Zumba dance fitness is getting my attention.

Curves, the leader in women’s fitness, and Zumba®, the dance-fitness experts have created the only 30-minute class that mixes the moves of Zumba with the proven strength training of Curves for one wildly effective workout. Some have called it the perfect workout, but Curves of Bonifacio Global City is willing to let you try it free to find out for yourself.

How It Works

All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate in and benefit from Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness classes. During the 30-minute class, participants work out on each Curves strength machine for one minute, alternating upper, lower and core muscles. After one minute, the music cues the participant to change stations on the circuit, and she moves to an area between machines to do Zumba moves, which tone and sculpt the body while burning fat. Licensed Zumba instructors from the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN), Dina Grieve and Rowena Jose, teach simple, modified Zumba moves from the center of the circuit.

At the end of 30 minutes, participants have completed one trip around the entire circuit, worked every major muscle group, and achieved a fun, energetic cardio workout ending with a group stretch led by the Zumba instructor.
