I highly recommend this class for anyone!

This class has revived my love for exercising. It’s always fun, challenging and puts me in a better mood after work. It’s dark in the room so you don’t have to feel self conscious if you aren’t the best dancer in the world. Since starting to go to the class consistently, I can tell my energy and mood have improved significantly.

Piece of advice: it takes a few classes to learn the moves, so don’t give up after just one class!

I have sampled Zumba classes and instructors in multiple cities, states and even countries. I believe Jacory to be the best! He is masterful at teaching a high energy workout without it feeling like you are at the gym "exercising". His positive energy is contagious. He uses his own music and choreography, a welcome change from the syndicated, generic classes that the Zumba organization puts out. Every class is different and it never gets old or repetitive. I walk into the gym after a busy day, often in a hurry to make it to class, and carrying the day's tension and stress with me. When I leave class, I feel like a totally different person. This class offers cardio, and will also work the major muscle groups, including arms and the core. It is well rounded and exciting.

​I would recommend Jacory's class to anyone looking for a great workout that is both fun and physically challenging. Men and women will feel comfortable, especially in the privacy of the group exercise room!

Amazing Workout & Amazing Instructor! 

Jacory IS THE REASON I JOINED theGYMkc! I had been in a rut for a couple years not knowing if I would ever get back into the gym. After one class with Jacory, I knew I was back! Thank you for being YOU, for your warm welcome, your wonderful spirit, and your energy. After each class, I leave knowing that the bad day I had is over and done with. Tomorrow is another day and I look forward to spending another night at ZUMBA.

I highly recommended this must-try dance class just to get a feel for how to ZUMBA.

ZUMBA released my fears of working out outside of my comfort zone. It is a high-aerobic class that does not require that you know much about dancing.The dance room is chromatically dark with mirrors and laser lights. I really worked up a sweat just trying to learn the moves! Eventually I rocked them, and it felt great! 

The best part, nobody can see you dance! Only you can feel it! It helps you to relax and to loosen your muscles from a long stressful day.

I don't know if it's changed my life but it has certainly changed my mood when I find myself in a bad one.

I am a morning exercise person so getting myself to a class in the evening is not easy but I love the evening Zumba classes so much that it's worth the effort.

The music is great, the choreography is wonderful and the energy level of the class is inspiring. Jacory's smile deserves a smile in return and that's what I find myself doing.

I love the music and Jacory makes it so much fun! You don't even feel like it's a workout.

It has made me enjoy working out and really motivated me to get in shape.
