Join the Party Watch a Zumba® Class

Zumba logoThe Zumba® program fuses Latin rhythms, international music, and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic, exciting, and effective fitness system. The routines combine fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body to achieve a blended balance of cardio and muscle toning benefits. Zumba® makes exercise fun and enjoyable. It's the best party around!

How many calories does a Zumba® class burn?

An average class will burn from 400 to 700 calories! You can burn more or less, depending on your intensity and fitness level. Please feel free to talk with your Zumba® instructor to help you get maximum results.

What type of flooring do you have at Central Penn Health and Fitness?

When doing any kind of group exercise that involves impact, it is important that you workout out on a shock absorbent wood floor. CPHFC has a special hardwood aerobic floating floor manufactured by Boflex. The floor absorbs shock from your joints and knees. Our 2,000-square-foot studio includes air-conditioned comfort, and we also have a brand new sound system. The special speakers, stereo amp, and large sub-woofer help enhance the Latin beat to make your exercise experience the best in Harrisburg!
