What is it?
Punta Gorda now has three options for “Movin’ With Robert”: Punta Gorda YMCA (Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays), Buttonwood Village (Tuesdays), and South County Regional Park (Thursdays during Winter season), now have their very own Zumba Gold classes right here in our community. Guests are welcome at the YMCA and Buttonwood. Everyone welcome at South County Park.
Zumba is a dance workout set to latin and pop music, and Zumba Gold is a lower-intensity version designed to be suitable for older adults or those with limited movement capability. You don’t need to know how to dance, and you don’t need to learn any moves. You just come ready to have fun and you’ll walk out with a smile on your face and in better shape, physically and mentally.
Wear clothing that is comfortable to move in. Bring water to stay hydrated, and a towel to wipe your brow. We’re gonna get sweaty!
Class Schedule
- YMCA: Monday/Wednesday at 10am; Saturday at 9:30am
- YMCA: Thursday at 4:45pm
- Buttonwood Village Clubhouse: Tuesdays 5:00pm
