STUDIO Students

Jim & Sharon Deis

Meet Jim and Sharon Deis. Jim is a Dayton Firefighter. Jim’s life, or the life of others, may depend on his fitness. Sharon is a nurse who struggles with heart failure and is committed to reversing her condition through nutrition and exercise. Two to three times each week our 2 Mini Schnauzers know we are getting ready to go to class at STUDIO Zumba® Fitness, they recognize the routine. They understand the words “STUDIO Zumba® Fitness” and know we won’t be gone long. STUDIO Zumba® Fitness is part of our life now.

When we enter the studio, we are always greeted with a smiling face and a "hello!" Joan is a gifted people person. I do not know how she does it, but she remembers everyone. It’s a very friendly, happy, everybody-is-included atmosphere that makes the exercise fun and provides the needed encouragement for success.

The “Pump You Up” class at the studio is our favorite class. Using weights is something familiar to Jim and provides a great workout for both of us. We love working out to music. Doug and Kris vary the classes every time, which makes it challenging every time.
We love the special touches at the studio, like the fresh flowers in the bathroom or the quaint art deco sitting areas. Recently we learned the cool international flags hanging in the main studio represent the different instructors who have taught at STUDIO Zumba® Fitness. The family friendly atmosphere makes this a comfortable place to work out and we hope to see you there soon!

I’ve been exercising, training and having a blast at STUDIO Zumba Fitness since the day they opened. I have found the perfect blend of fitness, dance and fun. Personal training with Doug is result-oriented and a great learning experience.

STUDIO Zumba Fitness is a non- membership facility, I pay as I go; I find that to be non-restrictive. What I like most about the Studio is its attention to detail and the personal attention I get. Whatever class I choose feels like it is tailored just for me. When I have limited availability for working out, STUDIO Zumba Fitness really maximizes my workout time. Circuit, Pump, Zumba and Toning classes provide a varied workout for me; I don’t know which one I like best. It took me a little while, but once I convinced my husband that STUDIO Zumba Fitness offered more than Zumba, he became hooked on the “Pump You Up” Class.

P.S. Did I mention the juice bar? Just another reason I’m hooked on STUDIO Zumba Fitness.

I’ve spent my whole life doing different workouts and have never run across anyone as motivating as Doug Jones, co-owner and fitness specialist at STUDIO Zumba Fitness. The “Pump You Up” classes started as a great way to supplement my workout routine, but have become a mainstay, working smaller muscle groups, and changing up my routine. While my schedule doesn’t afford me the opportunity of working out every day, I have become a regular at STUDIO Zumba Fitness attending the pump classes regularly, even throwing in a Zumba class now and then. I have actually inputted “Pump You Up” classes in my Blackberry; they have become a ‘standing appointment’ in my book. Doug is a one-of-a-kind instructor. I’ve taken class with my wife, my son and my daughter. I guess you can say STUDIO Zumba Fitness has become a family affair.
