Zumba with Nicole Darbaz

01/02/2023

If you're heading to the gym this month... have a little read 🥰

And to my beloved Zumba family, pay attention to the "PS" at the end. I don't know when I'll be back; but I'll always be a Zumba instructor at heart and I know some day, when I can create the space and time to be a great instructor, I will be back. It might be Zumba, it might be something else, but I know in my soul I'll be back some day :)

Happy new year and all the best to anyone working towards any - fitness or other - related goals!

Zumba love ♥️

Unsolicited opinion from me as a [former] fitness instructor (I don't often do non-real estate posts, but this is dear to my heart): ⁣
⁣
If you are a regular gym goer, don't be annoyed at the increase in people at the gym this month. ⁣
⁣
For instance, maybe you can't get the equipment you want right away, or you actually have to arrive 10 mins early to class to get a spot... or even need to sign up for a class before it's full. ⁣
⁣
Remember: At one point, you were that new person at the gym and for some reason, one particular time when you went something stuck, and you became a fit, regular gym-goer.
⁣
This could be that moment for that new person you're tempted to feel annoyed at. ⁣
⁣
So, be extra kind and a little extra patient. This moment could change their lives like it once changed yours. ⁣
⁣
♥️⁣
⁣
PS - I am still a instructor at heart and someday I know I'll return to teaching fitness classes. Maybe it'll be Zumba, maybe it'll be something else. But I know full-hearted I'll be back someday. ⁣

✨ WOW ✨ How was this 3 YEARS ago?

What JOYFUL moments these classes were, hey? Teaching to a group this big was a DREAM come true of mine. The energy multiplies when you have big groups. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience that at Zumba conventions and I’m glad that so many of you had the chance to experience it here at home. This was a special time in my life. Plus, we gave back to SO MANY in need through the food bank. ☀️

I know it’s been quiet in these parts, and Facebook notifies me that there’s been a few eyes checking this page since the new year hoping for a class update.

As of right now, I am not teaching. Due to the pandemic, the only live Zumba classes at GoodLife are with Zumba with Garrett Wells on Tuesday / Thursday evenings at the village. Check them out. He is great.

In being completely transparent, I have been missing balance in my life building my business and to be honest, this has been a welcome break. I haven’t given up my Zumba license, but it is something I have contemplated. I haven’t made any decisions yet; luckily I haven’t had to. In my soul I am someone that loves to spread joy, and Zumba is certainly a means of doing that. Dance has ALWAYS been there for me.

I think of you all often, I imagine some of you are really struggling without Zumba, and I wish you peace and joy. I encourage you to join garrett’s classes for now and / or find live steam options from home. It’s not the real deal, but it’s something. Don’t let the tipped-barrel-of-monkeys that was 2020 spoil your 2021. Use it as a reset. Find new ways to FIND JOY and get back to your health and fitness goals while we continue to navigate through this pandemic.

I love you all. Do something good for yourself today. Dance in your kitchen. Maybe donate a food item. You’ll feel great.

Wishing you PEACE, JOY and shimmies in 2021.

Love, Nicole 💛

PS - If anyone is struggling ... whether you’re a little sad or mental illness and need to reach out, I am ALWAYS here. There are ALWAYS people you can reach out to.

Good morning fitness friends,
Starting Monday, March 23rd, this will be our virtual class schedule! This schedule has the potential to grow, so we would love to hear from you!

We will be offering 3 payment options going forward:
$4/class
4 classes for $10
Unlimited 30 days for $35

All payments will be through EMT.

**We will also offer the first class free for any new participants, so they are able to make sure their at home setup works :) **

We appreciate everyone who joined us for classes this past week, and hope you will continue to move with us from the comfort of your own home going forward. Thanks for your continued patience and support as we navigate through these challenging times
