ABOUT ME
Jo Gibson
Dance Fitness & Gym Instructor
Hi, I'm Jo Gibson, I live near Brighton in the UK, a small city with a big heart.
I started doing Zumba 15 years ago because I found the gym boring and was looking for a fun way to get fit. 2 lessons in and I was hooked!
​
Zumba is a Latin American music based dance/fitness programme that incorporates aerobic exercises with the dance styles of Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, and Reggaeton, as well as international choreographies from all around the world.
​
I was 43 when I did my first class, so I especially want to encourage those of you over 40 to give it a go. People from the generations who did not grow up with the fitness industry as prolific as it is today, and may feel excluded from joining in. I offer 2 types of class, standard Zumba and Zumba Gold.
​
As well as increasing fitness and helping with weight loss, Zumba gives you 'head space'. An hour of 'ME TIME'! If you're looking for a class that will lift your spirits, keep you fit and tone your body then this is for you!
