Challenge Results

Wow, this morning was an amazing sight!!!  Thank you to all who came out!!!  

Many thanks to Mafi Misinale (Mama Ruby), Heamoni Filimoe'atu (Aunty Moni), Ongo Lapuaho and all who helped out in the kitchen with today's breakfast.

Also many thanks to our building keepers Caralee Hand & Melini Tukuafu for getting there early to let everyone in...every day Monday to Friday.

Results are in for our Attendance Challenge as well as our Weight Loss Challenge.

Side note:  entry for both challenges - FREE.

Each participant that turned in their Attendance Card received the following:

Water bottle, cd with "EMZ" song & two "I love EMZ" wristbands.

Participants:  Daniela Alva, Maria Aguayo-Lopez, Mele Halaeua, Marisela Rodriguez, Alma Ruza, Cecy Andrade & Caralee Hand.

We had an 8-way tie for 100% attendance.  They received the following:

A towel, two "I love EMZ" wristbands, one FREE class to our Studio Azul class, cd with "EMZ" song, water bottle, $5 gift certificate towards EMZ Wear, Fiber One bar & an "emz crew" t-shirt.

Winners:  Maria Moreno, Martha Loera, Daniel Flores, Paula Avelar, Miguel Gonzalez, Jeff Curry, MarySue Floisand & Luseane Taufui.

Due to the tie, we thought it would only be fair to have a raffle for a grand prize (a Zumba bag & $25 gift certificate for www.zumba.com).

For our Weight Loss Challenge, we had two groups (male & female).  Two winners from each.  One winner for the highest percentage loss & another for highest weight loss = a possibility of 4 winners.

For the men's, only one came back to weigh in.  Congratulations to Daniel Flores!!!

For the women's, we had several come back and weigh in.  It was pretty close.  Congratulations to Heidi Haas!!!

*If any of you want the stats from the weight loss challenge, please email us at theemzcrew@gmail.com.*

Both winners received everything the 100% attendee's received and instead of a $5 gift certificate, they received a $25 gift certificate & a 4 FREE pass to Studio Azul's night class instead of the single pass.....AND they received this:

Without the instructor's knowledge, there was a prize for the instructor with the most days attending.

The winner:  Dana Rossi

She received a gift card to Target.

Again, many thanks to all who help make EMZ possible & keep it going.

Until next week...ciao!!! 

Have a good weekend!

Tuesday Tip of the Day

I know...it should be called Random Tuesday Tips of the Day, due to my inconsistency in posting.

Today's tip...

Do you not have enough time to get to EMZ or to an exercise class?

There are lots of mini-workouts that can be done at home without any fancy equipment.  Search the web, check out Instagram, Facebook...and I can guarantee you won't have a problem finding them.

Here's one that a few of the instructors were doing after class this morning:

This particular one focuses on the glutes...but depending on what you're looking for, I'm sure you'll find one targeting the area(s) you want.

Here's some video footage from this morning...and like always, some not so serious moments.

Hello...hello...

Good evening / or is it morning (by the time you read this)?  It's been a little while since I or the others have posted.  In the next day or two, I'll be posting dates for a few of our upcoming events.

In the meantime, here's a few videos from the past week or two.  Here's a clip from our morning class with guest Aisake from St. George, Utah.  He's always bringing the Fijian love to our class whenever he visits:

As many of you know, we've added a Tuesday evening class at Studio Azul.  The turnout has been great and we definitely appreciate the support.  Here's a small clip of from last Tuesday's class:

 It's a totally different atmosphere...in fact, we call it EMZ After Hours. Anything after 7 am is considered "after hours". Lol. 

 Before we left for the Zumba Conference we had discussed possibly doing the Harlem Shake out in LA. Well, we never got around to it. In fact, this past Wednesday when we met to go over things for EMZ, we decided to shoot our version. Here you go:

   

 Also, this past Friday we had our St. Patrick's Theme Day. We have a wonderful class who like to get into it just like us instructors. Pictures are posted on our Facebook "EMZ Crew" page and a few on Instagram (@emzcrew). Here's a video clip of us after class goofing around:

 

Thank you always for stopping by and checking up on our blog.

'Til next time!
