What Is Zumba + Lift™?

Zumba®, the global leader in dance-fitness, just introduced Zumba + Lift™—a revolutionary new program that fuses the fun of dance with the power of resistance training.

Created by Zumba Founder Beto Perez, Zumba + Lift™ is where strength meets rhythm. It’s the perfect solution for people who want to lift weights and build muscle without giving up the joy of Zumba.

Unlike traditional workouts that focus only on reps and results, Zumba + Lift™ is joyfully effective—a high-energy, full-body workout driven by music and built on science.

Why Strength Training Meets the Zumba Vibe

Strength training is trending—and for good reason. It builds muscle, improves bone density, supports joint health, and boosts your metabolism. But many Zumba lovers have been asking:

“Can I lift weights without losing the Zumba magic?”

With Zumba + Lift™, the answer is a resounding YES.

This new format alternates between cardio and resistance intervals, using 5–15+ lb weights to challenge the body while keeping the rhythm alive. You’ll:

• Build lean muscle

• Improve stability and posture

• Enhance functional movement

• Burn calories and build strength

• Dance, lift, and smile—all in one class!

Strength With Rhythm, Science With Smiles

Zumba + Lift™ isn’t just a new class format. It’s a movement designed for the modern fitness mindset—where people want to feel strong, supported, and joyful in their workouts.

“Zumba + Lift™ brings that movement to life without sacrificing what makes Zumba so special: the joy,” said Zumba CEO Alberto Perlman. “It’s strength with rhythm, science with smiles, and a welcoming entry point for anyone who wants real results while still keeping it fun.”
