(Jourdanton, Texas)—More than 60 healthy women belonging to South Texas Regional Medical Center’s Healthy Woman Chapter exercised the night away last Wednesday, April 29th at the 6:30 p.m. Zumba class held at The Gym.

Zumba, the latest fitness craze to hit Atascosa County, had the Healthy Woman members jumping, squatting, shaking and even mamboing their way into slimmer physiques and healthier bodies. Zumba Instructor, Cherly Price, lead the dozens of women through the fitness class that blasted music ranging from Spanish cumbia and salsa melodies to hip-hop, rap and even rock.

Healthy Woman enrolled more than 40 new members at the event. New members were entered into a drawing to win a Fitness Pack outfitted by STRMC and The Gym. Existing Healthy Woman members had a chance to win a highly coveted 1-year membership to The Gym, compliments of owner Lanessa Harlan.

Danielle M. Flores, Director of Marketing at STRMC comments, “This was an invigorating opportunity for our members to try a new fitness routine that will help them build and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Lanessa’s 1-year membership gift is priceless because there is no price tag that can be put on good health!”

Members that could not attend still have an opportunity to try Zumba or any other fitness class offered by The Gym. The monthly invitation sent to members will serve as a free one day gym pass without expiration date.
