Viva Z Club Holds Grand Opening Saturday

by Lidia K Miller, owner

It has been dream of mine to open a studio dedicated to Zumba® fitness, because of its enormous impact on my life 4 years ago. Zumba® Fitness has made me healthier, helped me lose 50 pounds and gave me more energy and balance in my life!

Oh no!! I hear you cry, not another fitness infomercial, where someone lost lots of weight and joined a “movement”. This is different – I promise. I believe that Viva Z Club is the embodiment of Zumba® Fitness going mainstream. 

The Zumba® fitness LLC business model is a genuine mass-market phenomenon and is focused on spreading the heart and passion that Beto Perez instilled into Zumba® through a network of instructors (ZIN). Fourteen million people in 150 countries take Zumba classes at least once a week. 

There are many Zumba® instructors that have classes throughout the world, typically in Gym’s including the major chains, Karate Clubs, Community Centers, Churches, Schools etc. Zumba® fitness has a very special feel that makes it successful. 

You dance without worrying whether you miss a step, you sing along to the beat, you smile and it makes all your worries and stress go away.

Yet many of these classes being offered by ZIN instructors are in spaces that are contradictory to what Zumba® is all about: perfection is the enemy of perspiration! Viva Z Club is different because it offers a social environment with its Club Room. 

We want to encourage friendships, offer mutual encouragement and support to be fit and healthy, acceptance and all round togetherness that Zumba® is all about: you’re not alone on your path to being a healthier, fitter and happier you! Viva Z Club is not membership based or requires a joining fee as we adopt the same democratic ethos of the Zumba® fitness business model. You choose how you wish to participate, we offer “drop-ins”, “class packs” or “unlimited classes”.

Many ZIN qualified instructors have a loyal set of followers because they engage with the style or character of that particular instructor. Viva Z Club will support the very best of these instructors and bring them together, by offering a consistent and supportive environment so there is something for everyone whether you are 8 years old or 78 years old.

“We believe that Viva Z Club offers a true Zumba® and fitness experience that cannot be found anywhere else.” Says Lidia K Miller – owner Viva Z Club. “The feel, the setting makes the mind in tune with the music and lets you have fun while losing calories. I always hold the quote by the Dalai Lama in my mind “Happiness is the highest form of Health...”

"I am so excited for Viva Z Club! Lidia K Miller is an awesome Zumba teacher and I just love her classes. The whole Wellness vibe on Springfield Avenue in Maplewood is a great thing for our community.  Long live Viva Z Club!!" says Cathy Lankenau-Weeks, one of Lidia's faithful "Zumba-ettes”.
