CURVES SOUTH GLENS FALLS OPEN HOUSE TO LAUNCH CURVES CIRCUIT WITH ZUMBA® FITNESS Saturday, January 15th, 10:00a.m.-noon

SOUTH GLENS FALLS, NY -- 01/05/11 -- Some are calling it the perfect workout, and it's being powered by Curves® International, the global leader in women's fitness, and Zumba®, the global dance-fitness experts. The two companies have helped millions of people worldwide lose weight and get in shape. Now they're partnering on a unique workout that combines the best of both worlds.

It's called Curves® Circuit with Zumba® Fitness and it's the only 30-minute class that mixes the moves of Zumba with the proven strength training of Curves for one wildly effective workout. “We are launching the Curves Circuit with Zumba at our Open House on Saturday, January 15th from 10:00am until noon in the Midtown Shopping Center in South Glens Falls,” said Sue Lipscomb, co-owner of Curves South Glens Falls.

"Women are invited to come see this fun twist on the traditional Curves workout," said Anne Porreca, co-owner of Curves South Glens Falls. "It combines the proven strength training of Curves, which can burn up to 500 calories in just 30 minutes, with fun, high-energy Zumba moves.”

All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate in and benefit from Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness classes. During the 30-minute class, participants workout on each Curves strength machine for one minute -- twice as long as during a traditional Curves workout -- alternating upper, lower and core muscles. Then, the music cues the participant to change stations on the circuit, and she moves to an area between machines to do Zumba moves for one minute, which tone and sculpt the body while burning fat. A certified Zumba instructor teaches Zumba moves from the center of the circuit.

Curves South Glens Falls is located in the Midtown Shopping Center in South Glens Falls. For more information call 745-1494.
