When Breezes Grand Negril Resort & Spa hosts “Zumba & Pilates Week” August 5 – 11, guests can shake it up and stretch it out during their stay. In addition to the resort’s regular Super-Inclusive activities, these special complimentary core-strengthening Pilates and Latin-dance inspired Zumba classes will be lead daily by New York-based Aerobics and Fitness Association of America instructor Linda A. Robinson. Each class, which welcomes guests of all activity levels, will be followed by a “healthy eating” break featuring exotic fruits and nutritious snacks.
Every morning at 9 a.m., Robinson will teach a beachside Pilates class designed to increase the balance, flexibility and strength of the body. Pilates is a full body workout that helps to not only build core strength, but lengthen muscles and heighten awareness and control of one’s body and breathing.
Every afternoon at 4 p.m., guests will melt calories away while they move their hips with Robinson and the latest workout craze, Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance fitness class. Her classes are high-energy, aerobic “parties,” and are easy to follow with upbeat music and choreography incorporating hip-hop, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts and some Bollywood and belly dance moves.
Rates during the August 5-11 “Zumba & Pilates Week” start at $250 per person, per night based on double occupancy with a three night minimum stay.
