Testimonials:
Mary is a delightful, bright and youthful ZUMBA instructor who never fails to
inspire me to dance with the ZUMBA spirit.
I never think of Mary’s classes as a ‘work-out’ but more like a party where she
is the hostess with the mostess.
Her cues to change step and/or rhythm are right on as she guides the class
effortlessly.
Mary has lots of energy for the ‘regular’ class members to keep up while those
new to Zumba feel right at home quickly.
I have attended ZUMBA classes in other cities and with many other ZUMBA
instructors; Mary rates with the best of what I have seen; so she can hold her
head high with esteem and professionalism.
If I could, I would take ZUMBA classes with Mary regularly knowing she will have
something new to teach or she will refine that which we already think we know.
No faults here folks, Mary is a TEN (10) on my ZUMBA scale.
Keep up the good job, Mary.
Cheers,
~Gino Zucchiatti, Toronto, Ontario

Being a Pilates instructor/studio owner, I have always been looking for a cardio workout to compliment my Pilates practice.
Having tried and bought stationary bikes and most recently a treadmill, cardio was boring and I always dreaded it.
I couldn't last longer than 30 minutes before the repetitive motion would cause pain in my hips or knees.
When I went to my first Zumba class, the hour passed so quickly and I was drenched with sweat.
Alas, a cardio workout that is fun!
Having core strength has allowed me to continue taking Zumba without any harm to my joints.
I firmly believe, that between Pilates and Zumba, I have the perfect fitness package.
Mary's presentation of the work is really what has kept me faithful to Zumba week after week.
Her sincere passion for what she does is inspiring.
Being an instructor myself, I am quite particular about how things are taught and how and if the teacher engages the group or is just there for his/her own benefit.
Mary is a great teacher and joy to each and every person that takes her class.
Zumba with Mary, is what got me hooked and will keep me taking Zumba forever.

I discovered Zumba with Mary for the first time 2 yrs ago.
I didn't know it then, but it was the
start of the transformation of my physique and well-being.
By attending Zumba/Zumba Toning regularly combined with good nutrition, I lost 45 lbs,went
down 3 dress sizes from 14 to 7, but most importantly have improved health and self esteem.
You will find after trying 1 class, you're hooked.
What I love about Mary is that she brings a
unique vibe and always makes it fun yet interesting, constantly adding/changing new routines.
Due to her honest nature and sensitivity, she is extremely likeable.
She connects with every personality because she is empathetic and supportive.
Not only is
she a role model, but a talented, beautiful dancer, making each workout challenging yet easier to
follow through repetition.
Her classes are suitable for all ages, every fitness level, beginner to advanced.
Try Mary's classes and you too will see results and discover a happier you.
All it takes is the power of you through time and commitment, and to remember
perseverance and consistency is key.
