Zumba Fitness by Jen

BEST Zumba class in Hawaii. Such good energy and so much fun. Jen is amazing — encouraging and energetic. Right on the water — beautiful environment.

I have been coming here on and off for about 2 – 3 years. Every time Jenn welcomes me back with only words of encouragement and positive feedback. I am no dancer but she always plays music that will make you move your body. It’s up to you to push yourself to get the results you want. You don’t even need to do the steps exactly as she does. As she always tells us to «feel the music» and «nobody’s watching you» so move it the best way you can. Love this lady.

Energetic instructor? Upbeat music? Dance party? Beautiful views of the water? Supportive and fun class members? Any of that sound great to you? If it does, come to Zumba Jen’s class! I’m so lucky to live down the street and try to come as often as possible. It’s a great way to start your morning and I’d much rather do this than go for a run. And for $ 5/​class, so much cheaper than going to a Pilates/​yoga/​dance class! Oh and the night classes are great too, usually a little cooler and less crowded than the morning classes but I haven’t been able to go to a night class since before I moved back to Hawaii so it may be different now.
Make sure you get here at least a little bit before 9 so you can try to snag a spot in the shade and don’t forget water!

Zumba zumba zumba. I just started zumba again and I was looking for some classes on the zumba website and I found one that I could actually go to. Zumba by Jen. Jen is an amazing instructor and she is always smiling and reminds us to have fun. You won’t even know you are working out.

Awesome instructor … yay Jen! Great way to workout and not even realizing it!
Love it!

What’s better than watching the boats float by as a cool breeze flows between the palm trees? Having all that occur as you dance it up, zumba-​style with all your local cousins, aunties and uncles of course!
Zumba Fitness by Jen is a local phenomenon that is not to be missed if you’re in Hawaii Kai. Just a hop, skip and a latin dance move from Starbucks, 60+ locals gather from 9 – 10 am Sunday-​Friday and Tues/​Wed 6 – 7 pm to work out in the open air. For only $ 6 a time or $ 5 if you purchase 10 classes up front, you too can «feel the music» while dancing with all ages (there are little kids through seniors there shaking their groove thing).
I’ve been a few times now (I broke down and bought a card) and I LOVE it! While it’s not quite the workout I get kickboxing, it’s a lot of cardio if you want it to be and there is so much energy from all the people. Jen and her husband are buzzing with excitement and there is a bunch of rotating people from class that jump up on stage that emanate a similar vibe. And it’s all of the folks in class, that shout and cheer while a routine to Ice Ice Baby or a crazy tango or a Hula envelops the crowd that makes the hour pass so quickly.
For an awesome workout aimed at all ages, right on the water with a fantastic instructor and a fun culture of participants, 5 stars for Zumba by Jen, Woohoo, this is as good as it gets!
