Final weigh in date is July 29th.  If you can not weigh in on that date, please make arrangements to weigh in prior to.  No weigh in's after that date.  Winners will be determined by top three with highest percentage.  Percentage will be determined by total lbs lost divided by original weigh in date multiplied by 100.  First place will receive $500, second place $200 and third place $100.  In the event there is a tie, winner will be determined by most pounds lost.

Prizes will also be given for attendance although it is not a requirement for the challenge.

If you have any questions, please email theemzcrew@gmail.com or sinaipauni@gmail.com

WLC Attendance

For everyone that has joined the weight loss challenge - tomorrow, May 16th we will begin the attendance portion of it.  Again, attending EMZ is not a requirement.  However, we will begin tracking tomorrow and giving out prizes for attendance.  Unlike the last one, no need to have papers signed each day you attend.  We will have someone taking roll each day. For the first few days or so, we will need you to check in with that person so they can mark you down for attending.

First place prize for WLC is $500, 2nd place $200 and 3rd place $100.  Winners will be determined by highest percentage lost (Total lbs lost divided by weigh in weight multiplied by 100 = %).  In the even there is a tie in percentage, tie breaker will then be determined by most lbs lost.

Final weigh in date is July 29th.

By Wednesday, I will have the list of all who joined.  Don't worry, no names will be listed.  Instead it will be listed by date of birth.  That way everyone who has joined knows who they are competing against.

Good luck everyone!!!!

EMZ Weight Loss Challenge | May to July 2016

Seems like it's been forever since we've updated our blog. The goal will be to continue updating it from here on out. Lol. Alright, so the last day to join our Weight Loss Competition is today. For those that have already weighed in but have not paid - I counted about 10, you can click on this link and pay. If not paid by the end of the day (midnight), you will not be a part of this challenge. I will post more details in the next little bit. But so far, it's looking like 1st place $500, 2nd place $200 and 3rd place $100. And there will be prizes for attendance which will begin on Monday, May 16th. The final weigh in date for this challenge is July 29th. Any questions, please email me at theemzcrew@gmail.com or sinaipauni@gmail.com Thanks!!!!

The link below is for those who weighed in and still need to pay $25 entry fee.

How Bad Do You Want It?

Hi EMZ Familia! Sheese...it's been a month or two since last post. Since May, we've had a few events like our annual BBQ and the South Salt Lake 4th of July parade. Both fun events and of course our class parties.  I will post pics from the events (hopefully in the next day or two). Anyhow, I just wanted to stop by and drop a few lines. 

 A reminder in case I forget to post - next Thursday, July 24th - NO CLASS due to state holiday. 

 In the meantime, enjoy my favorite inspirational clips from YouTube.

Instructor's Weight Loss Competition - 6 Week Mark

If you've been following, then you know that a couple of us instructor's are in a weight loss competition against each other.  Our first weight in was January 13th.  Last Monday, February 17th, we weighed in a little early.  This past Monday marked 6 weeks into the competition & 6 weeks and a couple days (April 11th FINAL weigh-in).

Here's the results of our weigh-in by percentage (total weight lost divided by starting weight multiplied by 100).

Liu 3.28%

Beti 2.97%

Betsy 2.46%

Sinai 2.16%

Weight loss by each person was between 4-8 lbs each.  It's still anyone's game.  

Stay tuned!

Zumba Conference 2014 - January 31

It's Friday morning and our second day in Los Angeles.  A few of us woke up early (6 am) and walked to the nearby grocery store to pick up a few things...and look for coupons.  Not only did we find what we went there for, but we picked up a few coupons to use back home.  

Back at the hotel, we all got dressed & ready for the day.  We had breakfast down at the lobby which was nice.  After breakfast, we decided to go for a morning stroll at a nearby park.  The agenda for the day was as follows:

9:00 am - 10:30 am - Kickoff Session

11:30 am - 1:30 pm - Class

3:30 pm - 5:30 pm - Class

8:30 pm - 10:30 pm - Fitness Concert

Around 11 or so, we all took the hotel shuttle to the Convention Center.  We all divided up and went to the classes we registered for.  A few went to the Dancehall Mash-up class & the others to A Tribute To Michael Jackson class.  An hour of each class was like a normal Zumba class with the exception of it focusing mainly on the music genre it was for.  So, for example, the entire hour of dancehall was nothing but dancehall music.  The other hour or so of it was a breakdown of choreography plus learning a little bit more about that specific genre.

After the first session, we had a two hour lunch break.  We all met up and ate our prepared lunches we packed.

The second set of classes consisted of Fierce Funk & Burlesque.  Majority of our group was signed up for Firece Funk & a couple in Burlesque.  Well, the ones in burlesque left and joined everyone in Fierce Funk.  Firece Funk wasn't what we expected.  We didn't like it as much as we did the other classes.

After class, we took the shuttle back to the hotel.  Dana, Maki & Liu walked to a nearby Honduran restaurant and picked up dinner for all of us.  We met back down at the lobby and ate dinner before we headed back to the Convention center for the Fitness Concert.  Unlike the year before, we didn't stand in a crazy line waiting.  We got to the Convention center and the concert had already started which was perfect for us.

What is the Fitness Concert like?  It's like a master class - big scale.  You have the who's who in Zumba performing/dancing & the crowd following along.  It was a lot of fun.  By the end of the night we were tired.
