STRONG by Zumba® Transforms High Intensity Workouts and Puts Music at the Forefront


24 Hour Fitness has partnered with the renowned fitness talents behind one of the most popular dance-fitness programs worldwide, Zumba®, to launch its first ever non-dance program STRONG by Zumba® in U.S. club markets this month. In a distinctive step, the STRONG by Zumba workout is redefining the high-intensity experience through music, crafting custom-made beats that are reverse-engineered to match every move throughout the workout. The 60-minute group exercise class pushes participants past perceived limits with the notion that music is not just an afterthought, but also the essence of the program's success.

As a part of the new program launch, 24 Hour Fitness invites members and guests to participate in the STRONG by Zumba Party, Saturday, January 20 as select clubs host members and guests for a special STRONG by Zumba experience. (Visit 24hourfitness.com/GX24Parties for participating club information in the STRONG by Zumba Party on Saturday, January 20.) STRONG by Zumba combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training moves synced to original music specifically designed to match each routine. Program participants will burn calories and complete more reps than ever before, while toning arms, legs, abs and glutes-the one-hour class truly fulfills on its promise, providing a full body, calorie-torching workout with real results. Emphasizing music as the main motivator, the brand has partnered with some of the best music producers in the world, including Steve Aoki, Timbaland and Krewella to create original music for this exciting new group exercise format. Fast-paced beats such as EDM, techno, house, drum, dubstep, hip-hop, and fusion genres including Moombahton, will keep participants focused on the moves instead of counting repetitions.
