| - A couple of coworkers and I recently visited Joyful Yoga to try the Saturday AM Zumba class. The studio was easy to find and conveniently located on Ray road in Chandler - good location that made it easy for friends coming from other parts of town to meet up.
The class was high-energy, as was the instructor Melinda. The class was packed, and even though I have taken zumba classes at other places, it was still a learning process with the instructors specific moves. The crowded classroom made it difficult to see her, but the positive aspect was she didn't stay up front, she moved around and checked on everyone. When I couldn't see her, I looked at the students in front of me and tried not to make a fool of myself.
The songs were a good mix of Latin, Hip/Hop, Bhangra and provided a great workout. One of my coworkers who had not previously experienced zumba stated she had never sweated so much in her life. Even with the frequency that I go at other places, it was a good workout for me as well. Good job, Melinda!
The classes are $10 per session, but I took advantage of a special that I saw while checking in on my mobile Yelp: two sessions for the price of one. We were planning on going two times, so that worked out perfectly.
The studio had a nice shop, some treadmills in the back and nice supply of matts, blocks and yoga supplies. If you are in the Chandler area, I would definitely recommend this studio.
