Let's face it, working out can be healthy, rewarding, beneficial; working out can be lots of things, but it's never been known to be much fun until now! Zumba fuses hypnotic latin thythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a dynamic fitness program that will blow you away. The goal is simple: we want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exhilarating hour of caloric-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life! The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. At CUMC classes, we'll get each session started with a brief yet thought-provoking Christian devotion while you are stretching and warming up and we'll end the class with session and church announcements.

Comments from participants in adult activities:

"Thanks so much for all you’ve done to make a great connection with kids through the basketball season. Our family has been blessed by the program, especially as we settle into a new area after moving here in late October. We would love to be on your email list and participate in future recreation programs with Carmel UMC....we’ve really enjoyed our interaction with Carmel UMC and would love to keep our kids involved in the recreation programs for sure."  

"I want to thank you for taking a few minutes before Zumba with prayer. What you shared today was especially close to my heart. The realization that someone can be here today and gone tomorrow is so profound. Thanks again for all you do for this ministry." 

"Good Morning, Ray. I wanted to thank you and the entire Carmel UMC staff for the Zumba class offered on Wednesday mornings. I have never regularly exercised, but decided it was time to do so. I was delighted to go online and find your class available! This class has truly afforded me the opportunity to add an exercise regimen to my weekly routine! Many thanks for ministering to me, and others in this way." 

"Thank you for leading me to this.  I’m nervous, but hopefully if I pray enough and just keep going where I’m led, I’ll keep ending up in the right spot for this ministry.  I’m very excited.I think it is a great move for me spiritually, and I can really have a purpose with the church, which is something I’ve always wanted."
