Getting fit with Zumba a hit in Malverne
Several dozen people filled the American Legion Hall in Malverne last week to participate in a free Zumba Fitness class, offered by several instructors, including Malverne Civic Association President Suzanne Parra.
“The turnout was great,” she said. “The students were very excited, the momentum was extremely high and the compliments were fast coming.”
Parra said she organized the event to show the community that there are options when it comes to incorporating exercise into daily life. “Once you find a program you love, you are likely to stick with it and eventually achieve your goals, whether it be fitness, the social aspect of the class or just getting out and having fun,” Parra said, adding that Zumba incorporates all of that. “That is why it has become my program of choice.”
