Latin Blaze® the fiery, science-based workout for ALL
Latin Blaze® is the hottest, most cutting edge, science-based Latin fitness program around! It is gaining momentum throughout the United States because of its unique take on the union of dance and fitness and the interactive role they play with one another. Latin Blaze® was birthed from heart and soul, authenticity and freedom, passion and expression. What makes it distinctive is that it explores and encourages the growth of sprit and soul while also applying science based fitness essentials of safety, effectiveness and results. This dual delivery system provides a high intensity, sweat dripping, body shaping workout within an energetic environment, like no other. “As I travel throughout this world, I find that I place the highest value on the unusual. Latin Blaze® is an unusual mix of dance, exercise, and a form of visual art. This class,.....a rare find!” states Felicia Keith-Jones, Adventure Author and Youngest Female Distillery Owner in the U.S.
The foundation for Latin Blaze® was inspired by a love for fitness and a passion for dance. By blending the two flawlessly we bring the beauty and benefits of both and transform every fitness workout into a fitness experience. The very heart of Blaze was designed with you in mind. The basis for the program was defined and developed during 2 years of researching what people wanted and needed from their workout. We were able to design something special, out of the ordinary. Health professionals have taken notice of this difference “Working in the health and wellness world for almost 15 years it is rare to come across a workout program that is so all encompassing as Latin Blaze®…high energy…intensity specific to the individual…and most importantly FUN! This has Jamie G.’s personality all over it and everyone I have referred to Latin Blaze® has come back ON FIRE for life and health!!”, expresses Dr. Joel Kinch D.C., D.PhC.S.
There are some fantastic dance-based programs that have become the norm in gyms around the world. We love that they are creating a positive impact on the health of the general public. We wanted to offer something additional, something more. International Mindful Movement Specialist and Fitness Presenter, Lawrence Biscontini, MA agrees. "Jamie G.’s innovative Latin Blaze® fitness program merges many fitness essentials and combines them effortlessly with spicy moves and music, creating a Latin-inspired, sweat-dripping workout experience for everyone! I love how this girl takes Latin classes to the masses!” At Latin Blaze® we saw the felt need for a Latin fitness class that specifically puts fitness first and then fuses it with personal discovery, all the while making it doable for all levels and abilities. This one-of-a-kind program offers health clubs the opportunity to have a fresh, updated, more wholistic approach to Latin fitness; offering a new concept that provides even greater benefits to their members. Latin Blaze® is original to what is offered everywhere else.
Latin Blaze® believes in raising the bar. We set a high standard for Blaze instructors because we believe that no matter how amazing you are, you can always learn and achieve more. We encourage our instructors to strive to reach the next level of competency, professionalism and education. The Latin Blaze® Workshop for fitness instructors is getting rave reviews due to this philosophy. “What a positive atmosphere! Jamie G. is very professional and her passion is contagious…her hips…are simply AMAZING!!!! This is one of the best workshops I have been to ever!”, affirms Blythe Thurston, Trainer for the YMCA Instructor Team. Instructors have been trained in the importance of providing modifications at all times. Not everyone can do other fitness classes, but a Latin Blaze® fitness class is a perfect fit for all ages and fitness levels. We provide a core of basic moves that can be built upon to inspire exhilarating dance sequences. These basic movements and modifications provide all participants the freedom to choose their own difficulty and intensity level. This enables everyone the ability to participate at their own level, leaving class having found success and the personalized workout they needed that day! This is true whether they are 8 or 80 years old, need a gentler style of movement or want to be pushed and challenged - Latin Blaze® can meet them where they are at.
Blaze instructors also incorporate all styles of cueing because not everyone learns in the same way. We have found this makes for a safer and more effective combination, because they are being spoken to in their own learning language whether it is auditory, visual or kinesthetic. We wanted to provide a class with the equal pairing of a program grounded strongly in science and exercise-based philosophies, as well as provide an outlet for people to find a deeper connection within themselves and others. All of this works to create a greater understanding of each participants own unique vibrancy while emphasizing community.
Latin Blaze® is a passionate, fiery, fun workout that seriously takes into account, all of the true fitness principals and standards. We believe strongly in bringing one-of-a-kind experiences to participants, health clubs and instructors through every Latin Blaze® encounter.
“Not only is Latin Blaze® a GREAT cardio work out, it is so much fun that the hour just flies by! Before you know it you are cooling down, feeling great and have just had the time of your life laughing, dancing, sweating and shaking body parts you never even knew you had! If this "boot camp - kick boxing - choreography challenged girl can do it... anyone can!”
