Hello Ms. Kim –
I just wanted to say hello and thank you for introducing me to Zumba! I had taken one class before yours and
then on Thanksgiving I heard the rumble from the group class room, the excitement and the 60+ women/men in
the classroom and decided to jump in. I have never had so much fun! And I did not know I was hurting until the
class was over because I had such a great time I did not want it to end. I will never go back the treadmill and I
will never make working out a chore again. I am officially a Zumba-holic; I’m addicted, to the dance, the energy,
and the party. So I got my babies gym memberships to CFF so I can drop off the kiddos and get my Zumba on
daily. (My girls are dying for a Zumba kids day!)
Today is my 7th class in 7 days and this week (Thanksgiving week, I may add) I have lost 4 pounds and gained
some well deserved mommy time at the end of my day. See you soon.

Kim, I just visited your website and read a lot of testimonials. I thought I should give you mine. I started taking your
class in October of 2008 shortly after leaving my job. My parents are both in failing health and with two teenage
boys at home; my time was being spread thinly in many directions. I loved my job and the people that I worked
with, but I was suffering from exhaustion and frequent headaches. Fast forward to now and I feel like a
completely different person. For the first time in ages I have given myself the gift of "my time" which translates to
Zumba. I love coming to your classes. The energy I receive from you and the other ladies is wonderful. The energy
I receive from Zumba itself is awesome. When I finish your class, I feel ready to take on the day. I'm looking and
feeling better too!

I discovered Zumba and Kim in June 2008 at California Family Fitness and now have followed her around to her
classes she offers at Makamae Studio of Dance as well. I usually average 3 - 4 classes a week. It is a great stress
reliever and always a party. I have lost about 75 lbs since I started.
I had gastric bypass surgery on 9/24/07 and have lost a total of 170 lbs. Since doing Zumba I have been able to
continue to lose weight and I have become more toned and fit than ever before. I used to HATE EXERCISE and
now can't wait for ZUMBA with KIM.
Thanks Kim,
Julie C.

Hi Kim,
I want to thank you for being a great Zumba instructor! I just love your class. I first took your class in summer of 2008
and I've been hooked ever since! I wake up many morning humming Zumba music and I just can't wait to go to
your class. Though I still take step classes and lift weights I love Zumba the best. If I miss your classes do to work
schedule I even wake up 5 AM to Zumba . I never wake up that early to any other classes! I know you make so
many ladies happy because you are wonderful, enthusiastic,and fun
instructor! Keep up the great work!!!!

Dancing has always been my passion! I was even a member of our Dance Troupe in College and I had more
self confidence in myself back then... 5 ft 8 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds! I had my first child in 1992 (seven
days prior to my 20Th birthday) and 3 months after giving birth, I was bedridden for 2 months due to joint pain
and inflammations. It was then that I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis after series of tests, I slowly
recuperated from it after being on medications for about a year but I still felt so devastated knowing that I have
this chronic condition and that I will never be the same again ... When I came to America (1995), I have felt relief
knowing that I would now have better medical treatments and attention. True enough, I did get the medical
attention, my Rheumatologist found out that I am not only suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis but I have an
additional diagnosis: Fibromyalgia! This time, I accepted it wholeheartedly because I would rather take all these
ailments as long as my son is healthy. It has truly been difficult especially when I was in constant pain despite my
medications and even more excruciating when I got pregnant with my middle child and youngest child (born
10.14 pounds) since I refused to take any of my medications during my pregnancies due to fears of getting my
unborn children affected. I was willing to suffer so I can have healthy babies!
And yes, after 3 kids, immobility (due to severe pain and joint swelling), stress, depression, and very low self
esteem, I BECAME TWICE AS HEAVY AS I USED TO BE! But this revelation does not end of my story...
I have started joining Zumba classes with Kim at California Family Fitness (Bond Road) on September 28, 2009.
Honestly, my weight was not my biggest concern at all when I decided to join her classes, I was thinking more
about mobility, being able to get out of the box, be able to walk or move, have the energy so I can take care of
my children as well as being able to alleviate my feelings of self pity and uselessness because of my incapabilities
brought by my medical and emotional conditions.
I only know one thing for sure - KIM + ZUMBA definitely changed my life! This combination continues to help me
physically and emotionally until now. I am starting to gain back my self confidence which I lost ever since I
gained so much weight, I am now able to walk without using any assistive devices, I have more energy now than
I used to and I AM DANCING AND HAVING SO MUCH FUN! I never thought that despite these highly debilitating
conditions, that I would have the capability, the energy and the determination again to walk, move around and
more so, Dance!
Kim: my deepest gratitude for being an awesome Zumba Instructor and choreographer! I am truly hoping that my
testimonial would be an Inspiration to people with Chronic Medical Conditions and people who are burdened by
Emotional problems and Depression. "Let ZumbaKim be the Prozac of Your Life" (joke!)

Kim, You look fantastic and are doing so well with your classes. I am hoping I can catch more of your classes at
Cal Fit since I am a member there. I don't think I will be working all that much. My current job ends in two weeks,
so I will have free time for your classes and I really look forward to them.
Keep up the great work. Oh and I have heard so many positive and wonderful things about you and how you
conduct your classes.
See you soon, Bev

Kim,
I took my first Zumba class with you yesterday. I now believe the friend who brought me...I'm Zumba Obsessed!
Thanks so much for making my first class so wonderful. I was afraid that I would be the only one who did not know
all the moves or that all the people in the class would be super skinny. I was wrong on both accounts. I can't
wait for the next class on Thursday! I have told all of my girlfriends about it. Thanks again!
