Total Body Transformation
Fact: working out to perfectly synced music and moves pushes you harder to burn more calories.* Couple that with the afterburn (your body torching almost 50% more calories post-class!) and it's scientifically proven that you'll see - and feel - incredible results.**
Consistently crushing your STRONG Nation® workouts at least 3 times per week for just 12-weeks and eating a sensible diet can result in an overall leaner, more toned body with inches lost in the waist, abs, hips, thighs, and calves.***
The real students below did just that. Show off your gains! Get tips from the Before and After Photo Guide and tag your photos with #SBZresults.

"My thighs really toned and firmed up. I haven't seen these type of results in my legs in a long time."Angel Tanksley
"STRONG is more fun with the empowering music to work out to. I can hike with no huffing and puffing and pounding heart."Precious McCall Phairas
* Eight healthy men and women participated in the indirect measurement of caloric expenditure during STRONG Nation® classes with and without music through the use of a metabolic cart which analyzes continuous breath-by-breath VO2 and VCO2. The results were analyzed using paired T tests. Participants burned an average of 438 calories in a STRONG Nation® class with music and an average of 390 calories in a STRONG Nation® class without music. Participants burned on average 48 calories more with music in a STRONG Nation® class than without. The highest caloric count a participant burned was 680 calories.
** Eight healthy men and women participated in Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) to determine their post workout caloric expenditure. Participants burned an average of 75 calories in the 40 minutes after the STRONG Nation® class, which is almost twice the calories burned at rest. It is noted that 40 minutes post-workout, a participant's body goes back to homeostasis - a resting state.
*** Twenty-three healthy study participants (20 females, 3 males) attended 60-minute STRONG Nation® classes 3 times per week for a period of 12-weeks and ate a sensible diet. On average, the participants lost 1.39 inches in the waist, 1.88 inches in the abs, 1.67 inches in the hip, 1.68 inches in the mid-thigh, and 0.23 inches in the calves.
"I have tried a lot of workouts and SbZ is definitely in a league of its own! I have done HIIT classes before but never were they paired with the music like SbZ is. My favorite part was the music - I often forgot I was working out! I loved the rhythms, beats, lyrics and energy of the music - it really pushed me to work harder than I thought I could. After 12 weeks of SbZ, I can do more reps, more push-ups, more burpees, more lunges, and more squats than when I started! I feel like a new me! A stronger and better version of myself!"

"STRONG by Zumba is awesome! It's great energy, great music and fun moves. Loved the energy the music brought to the class. Great rhythms and beats. It definitely kept the energy up and gave clear cues to upcoming moves. I feel much more in tune with my body and able to calm my mind more easily. I can do way more push ups, squats and lunges. My planks are way stronger and longer."

"I have a more positive attitude about my strength levels. Before SbZ I felt my injuries and weakness held me back. Now I feel I am more in tune with my body and I am able to push myself without hurting myself. I can comfortably run a mile now and I could never do that before. It's fun, different, and I love that the music is synchronized to the movements. It kept me pushing even when I wanted to quit. STRONG by Zumba is revolutionary!"

"Since I'm crossing into my 40's, I wasn't sure if my body would be able to handle the workout. I did modifications early on in the training, but now I can do the difficult levels.

"Other workouts I've lost weight, but with SBZ I've noticed extreme muscle tone difference, more definition, especially in my arms and abs. I love that it uses your own body weight at a cardio pace with strength training. Burpees have become my friend - I actually like doing them now - they're not a chore. STRONG by Zumba is something I want to do forever to stay in peak condition as I age."

"I have gained back strength, posture, lost body fat, toned up and overall feel as good as I did back in my 20's now turning 48 in 2 months! This strengthening workout was a body, mind and soul experience. I felt after every single class like my endorphins were jumping and dancing about!! With each class I sweat and felt cleansed and refreshed, restored and energized. It's INNOVATIVE and I love the Quadrants. STRONG by Zumba is ELECTRIC <3"

"I got my body confidence back! I did a plank challenge with all the men in my life and I beat them all! I went 3 minutes on carpet with absolutely no problem! I could've gone longer and the men were struggling. My endurance is way up! I can feel it when I play tennis - totally different and it takes me much longer to get winded. STRONG by Zumba is a challenge worth taking!"

"STRONG by Zumba an incredibly challenging workout that is also fun and motivates you through music. I've never taken a class that combined my love of music and rhythm with an extremely tough workout. It's much more challenging than any other workouts I've done. My muscles get tired and I'm out of breath during the cardio portion. I don't usually get both from one class. I've definitely noticed a difference in my aerobic endurance. I can do significantly more burpees than I used to. I can workout longer."
