A Chat with Philly Zumba with Ebony

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Ebony leads party-like Zumba classes that combine fun and energetic music with Latin-inflected moves to help blast away fat and tone muscles. Having trained in dance styles such as jazz, tap, hip-hop, and ballet, Ebony is able to keep workouts fresh and exciting each week.

Exercise is challenging. How do you keep clients motivated and engaged?
I make sure that my energy level is at its highest in order for my students to feed off of that energy. I continue to have different routines and motivating music so my students keep coming back for more. My Zumba classes are like a party that you never want to leave!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I’m inspired to teach because it makes me happy that I can give them that one hour of stress relief AND a good workout.All of my students have 1 thing in common.They all need an escape from their every day routine and they choose to come to my class.That’s inspiring to me.It’s their class, not mine.

What do you love most about your job?
I love my students! They work so hard to meet their fitness goals that is makes me work even harder! I love seeing them smile throughout class and I love seeing that face of relief at the end. My favorite is when they tell me, “I feel better now, thank you.”
