Get Ready to Move with SALSArobics!

Join Esther Gutierrez Sloan every Friday for a dynamic workout that blends fun, rhythm, and full-body movement. This class isn’t just about exercise—it’s about joy, discovery, and the thrill of dance!

Throughout the session, participants choose their intensity level—low, moderate, or high—while moving to irresistible Latin, Caribbean, Spanish, and African beats. Options for both low-impact and high-impact movements allow everyone to customize their experience.

Each class delivers an energizing workout that averages 4,000 to 4,200 steps, with varying degrees of intensity. Esther integrates the Total Body Training (TBT) Systems Methodology to support proper posture and promote muscle conditioning. She also incorporates Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) Training, offering an optional challenge that builds aerobic strength based on individual pace and rhythm.

To build coordination and balance, the class includes inline motion drills. Participants move across the room using steps that change direction—laterally, diagonally, forward, and backward—adding functional movement to the workout.

The session concludes with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching to enhance flexibility and recovery.

Colombian-born Esther Gutierrez Sloan created SALSArobics in 1989 to fuse authentic Latin rhythms with aerobic exercise. She has performed on national and local television in Illinois, California, Florida, and New York. In addition to leading classes, she has presented SALSArobics at fitness conventions, schools, health clubs, ethnic festivals, and international events.

In recognition of her groundbreaking work, Esther was inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame in 2010.
