PARTICIPANTS Q&AS

Q: What exactly is Z-Box?
A: We all know incorporating a workout routine on a regular basis increases your vitality, energy levels, mental outlook, and most importantly your overall health. Z-Box Fitness (the Z is short for Zen) blends the hippest dance moves from yesterday and today with a host of resistance training techniques and basic boxing moves. The class will end with relaxation movements (that mimics Tai Chi).

Q: What fitness level do I have to be to do Z-Box?

Q: How many calories can I burn from a Z-Box workout?
A: You can burn 500-700 calories in a one-hour Z-Box class! (actual number varies per participant fitness level and exertion)

Q: Z-Box is not offered in my area. How can I request it?
A: Let your club/facility know that you are interested in Z-Box and ask them to contact us for more information. We will do our best to get Z-Box in your area!

We do provide marketing materials for you to promote your workshop. We will also provide marketing materials for your Z-Box classes, upon request.
