WHAT. A. YEAR. 2020 taught me that challenges are opportunities for growth and wow, did I grow a lot. I healed, I thrived, I overcame so much this year both personally and professionally and I will definitely look back and thank 2020 for leading me to where I am today. Even though many things did not go as planned, life significantly slowed down, events were constantly cancelled and we kept having to adjust to new rules, it also gave me a chance to do things I never ha...d the time to do. It forced me to become creative and to find new things that bring me joy. It allowed me to appreciate what I have and what I’m still able to do under these circumstances. With that being said, I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to each and every one of my clients and supporters, both near and far, for sticking with me and allowing me to continue doing what I love... sharing my love for fitness with you! There are millions of options when it comes to fitness and with all of these obstacles as well as opportunities to access other fitness programs online, YOU CHOSE ME. We did have a couple normal months at the beginning of the year but how special is it to say I had the best group of ladies join me virtually for 40 WEEKS straight AND also attend in person classes with social distancing when possible?! Thank you so much for your continued support, for making my 2020 a success and definitely one for the books! I’m looking forward to a hopefully more normal life in 2021 with you all. May you have a healthy, happy and safe new year! See more

Things may look and feel different this year but I hope you find ways to make the holidays special regardless of the circumstances. As these challenging times continue, I keep each of you close to my heart. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and merry Christmas! (Photo is from my 2019 Zumba holiday party and fundraiser. Missing you all so much!)

Merry Christmas Eve! I went into full on Christmas mode as soon as I put this sweater on. Here is last night’s virtual Christmas class in 60 seconds

REAL PEOPLE. REAL SWEAT. REAL FUN. Are you ready to join the party? hazelzumbafitness.com

So this is how we do group photos in lockdown... Say hello to my first group of clients who dove right in and conquered my first workout program after getting my canfitpro certification! Feeling a little overwhelmed, definitely accomplished but above all, BLESSED 40 of you amazing humans signed up for my first workout challenge (some not pictured)! It was great to see a mix of my regular clients, familiar faces as well as new faces that found me online. This was NOT ZUM...BA so for some people, it was totally out of their comfort zone. Instead, we completed a series of circuit/interval training workouts which had a different theme or focus each class. The fact that each of you signed up showed you supported me and trusted me with your fitness goals and for that I am so thankful Now enough of the mushy stuff... What did you guys think of my workout challenge? What was your favourite workout? Do we want to do this again in 2021?! See more

4 years later and I still get excited every time I see my name on this board I held my very first class as an independent Zumba Fitness instructor on Sept. 14, 2016 here at Chalmers CC (basically my second home now). I still remember having less than a week to prepare, expecting 10 people to show up but a crowd of 48 walked through that door (yes, I somehow fit 48 people in the gym ). It was definitely scary... but it’s been the BEST decision yet. Thanks to all who’ve been there with me through this wild ride!

100% in denial that summer is ending... luckily I still have a few outdoor classes to look forward to this month before it gets too cold (including TONIGHT) so come out and join me! THURSDAY, SEPT. 10th 6:30PM SUNDAY, SEPT. 13th 10:00AM... MONDAY, SEPT. 14th 6:30PM Zumba Fitness with Hazel turns 4 on this day Come out and celebrate with me!

Soaking up the last bit of summer with my Zumba crew

Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder. Here is your daily reminder to stay strong and stay positive. You can handle whatever this week throws at you (Miss you ladies! Photo taken Feb. 2020)

#FunFactFriday Today I’m listing 7 things that Zumba has done for me! ZUMBA HAS...... 1. Opened up a love for dance and fitness that I didn’t really know I had growing up 2. Stepped me out of my comfort zone to teach in front of large groups of people 3. Kickstarted a healthy, active routine which is now a lifestyle I can’t see myself getting out of 4. Introduced me to hundreds of new people and some I can now truly call lifelong friends 5. Kept me motivated, challenged and excited about learning and striving to better myself in all areas of life 6. Allowed me to connect with fellow local Winnipeg businesses (both fitness and non-fitness related) to bring our community together 7. Proved that a passion can also become a job that never feels like you’re working What has Zumba done for you?! See more

So I did a thing! After many hours on Zoom, weeks of studying and a few setbacks (thank you Covid), I am so excited to announce that I am now a canfitpro certified Fitness Instructor Specialist So what does this mean? This means that my knowledge with group fitness has greatly expanded. This means my Zumba and Strong classes are only going to get bigger and better. This means that I have the knowledge and confidence to expand my reach and give you more of what you w...ant! What kind of classes do you want to see in the future? Bootcamp? HIIT? Strength? Let me know See more

A little post Zumba Toning fun with Paula and Isaura! These ladies were regular clients of mine a few years ago when I was teaching elsewhere and recently stumbled back into my classes when I resumed them after quarantine.

#ThrowbackThursday to one of my Zumba party fundraisers I did a couple of years ago! Currently daydreaming about when I can do this again with you all Hope you and your loved ones are continuing to stay safe! P.S. anyone remember this warm up? Because I don’t

Can you believe we are in WEEK 20 of online classes? 6 months ago, online Zumba Fitness classes were non-existent. Zumba Home Office only started allowing instructors to teach online in March when coronavirus really hit us and forced us to go into self isolation. It’s crazy how far we‘ve come and how many people we‘ve reached through online platforms like Zoom and ZIN Studio to keep our fitness community moving (and sane ) both locally and globally. I’m currently lo...ving the balance between my online and in person classes. It has kept me and my participants safe and active at home but also allowed us to safely gather and sweat together through social distancing. If you’d like to join me, I’m instructing three classes online and two in person this week. Online booking is required for both class types. Visit this link for the schedules and full details: https://linktr.ee/hazelzumbafitness

5 CHANCES TO SWEAT WITH ME NEXT WEEK! Classes are live streamed on Zoom and for all fitness levels. Full details and registration here:... https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WSCJZLW See more

Your energy is your greatest currency Wednesday classes in August (in person/indoor) are now available for booking! Thanks to everyone for keeping me busy with all of these classes both in person and online BOOK NOW: hazelzumbafitness.com

#ThrowbackThursday to some pre-Covid Zumba Toning! Although I am missing the sweat and energy this group brings to each and every class in person, I at least have something amazing to look forward to when we can meet again. For now, let’s stay positive and keep dancing together virtually! My online classes are open to anyone and for all fitness levels. Contact me for more info and/or to try my Zumba Toning class this Saturday, Nov. 14th FOR FREE! The party starts bright and early at 9:30AM

Let’s celebrate TASHA’S 100 CLASSES Covid style! Tasha has been a regular client of mine for a couple years now! She first started attending my Saturday classes at Notre Dame Rec Centre then soon started attending all of my different types of classes everywhere else I teach. I love having her in my class because she’s so energetic and always works so hard no matter what type of class we’re doing. She always leaves with that Zumba glow We love having you part of the Zumba family Tasha! To many more classes with you

250 CLASSES FOR JAYA! I am so thankful that you’ve stuck with me for so many years! I’m proud to call you my friend and have you part of my Zumba family

WE’RE SMILING I SWEAR As Winnipeg goes into Code Red effective Monday, all in person classes at Chalmers CC and MUSE Studios are CANCELLED until further notice. I know I just sent out the November schedule a few days ago but need to do my part in keeping all of us, our loved ones and community safe. I am more than happy to offer online classes for the time being.... I also want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of you in supporting me and my business during this challenging time. Your excitement and loyalty to my classes has allowed to me keep doing what I love to do which is dance and sweat with you (even if it means virtually)! Stay positive and stay safe See more

100 CLASSES FOR SUE! Sue is one of the most welcoming and friendliest faces you will ever meet! She quickly became a regular when she first stepped into my class and always gives it her all in every workout I throw at her. Cheers to many more classes!

Happy hump day! My Zumba Toning in person schedule for November is now posted! WEDNESDAYS 6PM @ CHALMERS CC SATURDAYS 9:30AM @ MUSE STUDIOS ...

#ThrowbackThursday to last year’s Stanley Cup playoffs! Anyone else excited for hockey to come back?!

New week, new goals and no bad vibes allowed Can you believe it’s been 30 weeks since we started learning, adjusting and living with this new normal (yes, 30! At least in my books )? This also means I’ve been doing my classes virtually for 30 weeks as well as more recently, on a reduced in-person schedule! You’ve all shown me that nothing gets in the way of your love for Zumba (except my patience sometimes when it comes to Zoom technology ). It’s 100% true that we are stronger together and I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support. Have a great week and please stay safe!

If you’re looking for the one person who can change your life, take a look in the mirror The person in the mirror is your only competition. Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday and who you want to become. Stay focused on your own journey. Grow at your own pace

The best time to be thankful is ALWAYS. Forever grateful for my family, friends, clients and pre-Covid group photos You have 4 chances to sweat with me and burn off those turkey dinners this week! Check out the link below for full details on my online and in person classes. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy Thanksgiving https://linktr.ee/hazelzumbafitness

Good morning! Here’s a fit tip for your Tuesday: Work out because you love your body, not because you hate it. Learn to invest in yourself and take care of yourself. Working out should be a challenge but more importantly, it should be a celebration of what our bodies can do. Your body is beautiful at every stage. Enjoy the journey and the results will come

ZUMBA IS OUR HAPPY HOUR My outdoor classes are done for the year but you still have multiple chances to safely sweat with me each week both indoors and virtually! You can now book your spots for my upcoming classes at MUSE Studios. Space is limited and COVID-19 policies will be in effect (masks upon entry/exit, social distancing, etc). You can also catch me live on Zoom a minimum of two times per week. Online schedules and registrations are released weekly. Contact me for more info!

Last night was an exciting first day back at Chalmers CC! Not only did we get to dance it out on their new gym floor but it was also SUE’S 250TH CLASS WITH ME! She is one of my OG clients and has been there since the start of my Zumba business. Thank you for your continued support!

That feeling you get when you find out there’s not one but TWO in person classes next week!! We‘re back in action at Chalmers CC every Wednesday evening starting July 15th! You can now book your classes for the remainder of July and the August schedule will be available soon. An outdoor class has also been added to next week’s schedule on SATURDAY, JULY 18th at 9:15AM. Space is limited and social distancing and cancellation policy is in effect. Booking is required for all participants. Visit hazelzumbafitness.com to book your spot! Have an amazing weekend everyone

Back in May, I teamed up with Sandra and Your Best Yoga to host an online event for COVID-19 relief. The class was free but we highly encouraged participants to donate to a COVID-19 relief fund of their choice or be part of a group donation to HSC Foundation and United Way. Today I received an email from HSC thanking us for our donation and that with our contribution we were able to help with the following: Purchased iPads for the ICU so patients could stay connected with... their loved ones Provided over 11,200 meals to HSC staff free of charge Provided hotel rooms so staff could clean up and recharge before heading home or to their next shift Turned on the entertainment centers and phones in the additional 400 beds at HSC for those patients too Research and development of reusable silicone N95 mask molds, designed by one of our very own doctors at HSC A few of the recipients that benefited from the donor-funded Feeding the Frontlines initiative shared what this support means to them in this video! Thanks again everyone

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY Featuring one of my regular clients and now friends, JAYA! Thank you for your kind words

We want to send a HUGE thank you out to everyone who joined us over the last few months at our Virtual Drop In Dream Parties . Between March and June we host...ed 26 online parties for kids in our community as a way of staying connected and having fun during this tough time. We're going to be taking a little bit of a summer break from our regularly scheduled Dream Parties, but STAY TUNED throughout the summer for a few "POP UP" Dream Parties full of fun guests and activities. To all of our incredible Special Guests - thank you for the time, effort, and care you dedicated to making these parties so much fun, and for creating more laughter and smiles for Dream Kids. We are so grateful to have you as part of our Dream Factory Family. To our Dream Families - whether you joined us at one party or 20, thank you for staying connected with us! To be able to keep up with so many of our Dream Families has been the best part of these parties, and we look forward to staying connected in the months to come! Thank you for your wonderful recommendations for special guests and activities, and for introducing us to so many of your pets ! SWIPE to see all of the incredible folks who have joined us over the last several months to help put smiles on the faces of kids in our community fighting some tough battles. #dreamfactorymb #winnipeg #manitoba @ The Dream Factory See more

Check out this cool bird’s eye view from my outdoor Zumba Toning class last week! Can you see yourself? Thank you to everyone for coming out and most importantly, doing your part to keep our class safe by practicing social distancing. It was great to see so many familiar faces as well as a few new ones post quarantine! The next outdoor class is scheduled for this SATURDAY, JULY 4th at 10AM! If you want to stay in the loop so you don’t miss out, make sure you follow me on Instagram, like my Facebook page or subscribe to my email list

One of my favourite things about being a Zumba instructor is pretending I’m a DJ I love building playlists that make our workouts feel like a party. This means finding upbeat and catchy music to motivate my participants to exercise. A good playlist gets everyone moving and pushes them through the workout, especially during those times where they feel like giving up. A lot of the time I use music where we do certain moves to the beat (eg. squats, jumping jacks, hip circles, etc). Even if you don’t feel like doing it, chances are the music will guide you and you’ll do it anyways I also try to incorporate a new song/routine every couple weeks to keep things fresh. I’m always looking for new music. Let me know if you have any suggestions! @ Winnipeg, Manitoba

This is so cool! The Dream Factory invited me to be their special guest for one of their DROP IN DREAM PARTIES! Can’t wait to virtually party it up with these kids

It feels SO GOOD to be back on the dance floor with these ladies!!! I’ve done two outdoor classes post quarantine and even though online classes have been great at keeping us moving and connected, you have no idea how much I’ve missed the energy, motivation and joy all of you bring me in person The next outdoor class is this WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24th at 6PM and it is currently FULL! Space is limited and social distancing will be in effect. If you’d like to be added to the waitlist please contact me directly through email or text. Online classes will continue as long as there is a demand for it to complement weekly outdoor classes throughout the summer. Thank you everyone for your continued support and if I haven’t seen you in person yet I hope to very very soon (This video was taken Saturday, June 13th - such a good turnout!)

To all the dads and father figures out there! Thank you for all that you do and for going above and beyond for your families

Keep fit and have fun ... and be kind

Laughing is the best way to burn calories

It’s been just over a week since #BlackoutTuesday and many businesses took a pause on posting their regular content to share resources, highlight black owned businesses and give others the opportunity to amplify their voices in regards to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. As we return to posting our regular content, I hope the conversations about what’s happening in our communities regarding this issue never die. I hope we continue to support the black community and spread awar...eness as much as we can online, in real life and far after this issue stops trending. In an ongoing effort to support the black community, I have donated 25% of my online class registration fees from this week to Black Space Winnipeg. They are a non-profit organization who educates, creates safe spaces and advocates for the local black community. WE SUPPORT YOU : @signythorsteinson See more

TRUE OR FALSE: time does not move at its normal pace when you’re doing a plank I’ve recently added plank challenges in my some of my online classes where I encourage participants to join me in holding a plank for 30 sec. to 1 min. in between Zumba routines. Feedback has been amazing and it seems like everyone is enjoying the challenge of adding in some core focused work during class!

Good morning and good news! I’ve scheduled my first OUTDOOR ZUMBA TONING CLASS post quarantine this upcoming weekend This class will take place SATURDAY, JUNE 13th at 10am in the hockey rink outside of Chalmers CC (480 Chalmers Ave.). The cost is one class off of your pass or $10 drop in. Please note that the community centre is to remain closed until further notice so the water fountain and washrooms are not accessible at this time. We will also be practicing social dista...ncing by maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet (2 metres) apart between each other. Hand sanitizer will be on site as well. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I hope you can make it LIMITED SPOTS. BOOKING REQUIRED! Book your spot: hazelzumbafitness.com

BLACK LIVES MATTER So proud of Winnipeg!

8 YEARS OF ZUMBA! I got certified to be a licensed Zumba Fitness instructor on May 25, 2012. I quickly learned that it is one of the best jobs in the world. I’m forever grateful that Zumba snuck into my life, made me who I am today and gave me a chance to show a side of me I didn’t know I had. Thank you to everyone who has joined me on this crazy ride and supports me and my classes! Let’s all keep dancing together for many more years

It’s the weekend but the hustle don’t stop... I’m currently working on something for you guys! Your hint is this photo. Can you guess what it is?

STRONG is NOT a dance class but it IS for all fitness levels! As you can see in this video, Carmen, Pam and I are demonstrating one option while Kristin is showing a modified option. Even though we are doing different moves we are still in sync with the music and with each other. We even meet in the song to do the jacks together! OPTION 1:... burpee + alt. knee drives + jacks OPTION 2 / low impact: squat + alt. knee lifts + squat + jacks (you can also modify the jacks to alt. side steps in and out) Contact me for more info on how to join my Strong classes online! I have a class tonight at 6:30pm if you wanna try it out (This video was taken during our last Strong session back in February) See more

Over the years I have taken various Zumba specialty trainings but here are the formats I instruct the most! ZUMBA A Latin inspired dance fitness class (I like to add hip hop, EDM and pop music as well) Combines all elements of fitness cardio, muscle conditioning, balance, flexibility and boosted energy... Mixes low to high intensity moves for an interval style, easy to follow, calorie burning workout ZUMBA TONING Perfect for those who like Zumba but also tones target zones, including arms, core and lower body Adding resistance helps you focus on specific muscle groups, so you (and your muscles) stay engaged I usually teach this class combining both regular Zumba and Zumba Toning routines so you get a variety in one class A light pair of weights (1-3 lb dumbbells) are recommended but optional STRONG NATION A high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout that combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training moves synced to original music Using your own body weight, you will gain muscular endurance, tone, and definition, and you will experience an increased afterburn Common moves include squats, lunges, planks, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, etc. A mat is recommended to do floor exercises My classes are beginner friendly and for all fitness levels. Options and modifications are available to make it safe and enjoyable for everyone. All of these formats are available online! It’s not too late to sign up for this week’s classes (Tuesday to Saturday). Contact me for more info See more

QUARANTINE DAY 53: I miss teaching real life Zumba Going from live classes to online has been a bit of a struggle but I think we’re finally at a point where things are running smoothly! There have definitely been days where I felt like online classes were harder than live classes With all of the licensing rules and regulations I have to follow, technical difficulties I face almost daily and rapid increase of emails/messages I respond to, I have truly gained a ne...w appreciation for anyone who runs an online business. So kudos to all of you online business owners who do this on the daily and to those who are embracing the learning curve and just rolling with the punches everyday like me... let’s just keep doing our best We are now going into week 8 of online classes and I want to say thank you to my AMAZING clients for sticking with me through all of this! Your support and love for my classes, not to mention your patience and cooperation, mean the world to me. You all are what keeps me dancing See more

To all of our diaper-changing, soccer van driving, 9 to 5-ing, homework helping, dinner making, booty shaking mamas

DID YOU KNOW? Aside from teaching my weekly classes I also do special events, fundraisers, corporate or private classes and more. During this time, all events will be held virtually but I‘m here if anyone is looking to put something together. I already have a few booked within the next month and I’m super excited! Contact me for more details This photo was taken at my Zumba demo at Weight Watchers back in January hosted by Patricia and Jana. Thank you again for having me! It was a blast and I can’t wait to do this again

Reconnecting with some of my old Zumba clients through virtual Zumba is one of the best things that has happened during quarantine. Check out their reviews!!! Ashley used to attend my classes in Winnipeg FOUR years ago! She has been joining my online classes all the way from Florida Rose used to attend my classes in Winnipeg THREE years ago! She has been joining my online classes from Edmonton ... So happy to dance with you both again!

I really miss dancing in person with you all but I’ll see you through the screen for Zumba Toning at 6pm P.S. 10 points to whoever can guess what I’m singing at the end of this video

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy. Everything will be so good so soon. Just hang in there and don’t worry about it too much
