I started Zumba almost 2 years ago. It was a giant leap for me. I knew that just walking at Lodi Lake hadn't been enough- I wasn't losing the weight.
I also wasn't enjoying a typical gym workout and the memberships cost too much. Now I had zero back ground in dance but music has spoken to me for the majority of my life.
I took a chance and walked into a Zumba class at Dee Dee's and I was hooked. Believe me, I sucked. I had no rythym. I couldn't keep up and I was often not on the same side of the room as the rest of the class. I laughed at myself and kept coming to classes. The instructors were positive, sweet, and humorous. I loved the endorphins and learning new dance moves.
I've been coming to Dee Dee's classes since Sept of 2013. I got pregnant about the same time and kept going all the way up through 9 months along. Zumba made me strong for labor. I started back to classes at 4 weeks post pardum because I missed it so much. I have never felt so good in my whole life. I have rhythm. I'm strong. I can even dance. :) I've lost 50 lbs (30 of baby weight and 20 beyond that) and my knee that's bothered me for the longest time is stronger and hurts less. Most importantly, I can keep up with my 2 busy boys.
Thank you to Dee for having a vision of offering such a fun dance workout that is MORE than affordable. She is an amazing teacher that leads us to succeed. She makes us work and encourages us to do our best-after all, it is our workout. I love that Dee Dee cares so deeply for all of the women that come through the doors. She is here to shape us and teach us how to move in a way that we won't injure ourselves. She rejoices with us in our moments of reaching our goals. She works hard to tailor her classes to each person. Thank you for what you do. :) xoxo

Very friendly and encouraging environment which is essential for those of us who are extremely shy like myself. I never regret showing up to class here and I always have a good time not to mention the fact that you burn at least 720 calories in just an hour. Way more fun than a treadmill! Five stars for sure!

I never thought I could enjoy exercising, but every morning I get up and look forward to tabata! I'm getting stronger and losing inches ~ if you're like me and you hate to exercise, I would definitely recommend you give it a try.

Best phone call I ever made! Dee Dee is an excellent instructor, I do Tabata & Zumba & I have never felt stronger, both physically & mentally I had a sore knee for about 10 months & after a month of Tabata the soreness was gone. Dee Dee us hands on, she makes sure that your doing the exercises correctly & getting the full benefits from her classes. I recommend to anyone who is thinking about getting in shape, both physically & mentally to call Dee Dee dance & fitness. More...

I've been at DeeDee's studio almost 4 yrs. I do Zumba and I take the Tabata classes she offers. It has completely changed my life mentally as well as physically. I feel better and I look better but there is always work to be done. In addition to the hard work and determination you bring, DeeDee is an amazing teacher, trainer, motivator and she'll be you're biggest cheerleader not to mention an awesome friend. It's a win win situation. For me I have had some physical struggles and DeeDee has gone above and beyond to accommodate and modify my workouts. You couldn't ask for a better camaraderie among everyone that comes to any of her classes...its laid back there is absolutely no pressure. Its your work out and we have fun and get healthy all at the same time. If the gym is just not your thing you're in for a treat. It's a dance party with new friends every time you come. She offers drop ins at a minimal cost. Come check it out you won't be sorry!! More...

Dee Dee's is a wonderful place! The workout is FANTASTIC; I usually burn at least 1,000 calories (according to my fit bit). You will have fun, laugh, and not feel judged at all if you do not know how to do the dance moves well. It feels like a little family and Dee Dee will cheer you on every step of the way. More...

It's the best exercise around! Any of the classes will have you sweating but the workout is fun and the music is great. There's always lots of activity at this studio from classes to community reach, to parties and game night. What a great group!

While I was not as ridiculous as some of the other people in this class, the place is solid. Being from out of town, they accommodated me for a single class, and i kept pace. It's good to workout when out of town, and they were super friendly. Thanks. More...

Dee Dee and her instructors have taken the dreaded exercise class and made it so much fun, I have no problem going there daily. It is the only fitness program I do because I love it there. No experience necessary--just show up. You can adapt any class to your particular ability. Â And remember to sing along to the music. More...
