Valeo Dance and Health Club

Yesterday I check out Bar. I never done it before so was little worry, but instructions Asiya was very friendly. I had great time. Great exercise for hall body! It’s fun and very easy to fallow. Using different equipment make it different compare to another dance classes. You can really push your limits. Can’t wait to do it again.

I am so sore today and it feels awesome.
I feel like dance fitness classes are VERY hit or miss– and this one was a homerun. Don’t be thrown off by the fact that the class is held in a church (I definitely was), because it’s just as legit of a class (if not more) than any other group fitness class.
We didn’t stop moving for the entire hour and it FLEW by. I can’t wait to go again next week.

A couple of my friends told me about Valeo Fit 1000 and said I should try it. I am not a dancer by ANY means and didn’t think I would like it. But after my first visit I was hooked!!! What makes it the best… it’s a great mix of dancing, weights, floor exercises, yoga balls, and then of course the hula hoops! The workout is set to really great music too! Besides it being an awesome workout, there’s another reason that keeps me coming back… it’s one hour of escape from all the stresses in our life to where we can just have FUN!!! Asiya is so motivating, energetic, and full of spirit that I look forward to coming back week after week! I can’t say enough positive things about Valeo… I love it!!!

I can’t vouch for whether or not I actually burn 1000 calories, but it certainly feels like it!
I’ve been going for a week now. I don’t work out — I did ballet growing up and never ‘had’ to work out, because I had classes daily and that was my workout. In college I found it difficult and boring to machines at the gym, and I can’t run due to bad knees (from ballet). I would find myself counting down the minutes.
We just relocated to Atlanta, and I’m finally realizing that I’m not 18 anymore and maybe should try to stay fit and healthy (I am naturally thin so the incentive to lose weight isn’t there). I googled and found this class — and I’m in LOVE! It is so fun, and while at times I feel like I’m going to die, it’s only in the best ways! And whenever I get to that point I look up and realize we only have 10 minutes left and are about to begin the cool down.
This is a dynamic, fun, and engaging class. And the classmates are fun too! Asya is a «fireball» and I love the engaging atmosphere in the class. I’ve already purchased a recurring package!

Fun class… Tough but fun. The music is great. The instructor is very energetic and welcoming. I’m going back!

I have been going to Valeo Fit 1,000 for almost a year now and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. People may not believe me when I say that this workout is fun, but it truly is a blast and I would recommend it to anyone.
The premise of this work out is high-​intensity interval training, but it uses dance fitness to accomplish this. We also work with weights, resistance bands, balance balls and weighted hula hoops. There have even been routines where we’ve used pom-​poms and jingle belts to increase the intensity of workout and enhance the fun! And, even though the workout is a blast, you’re moving for 60 minutes, so you leave sweating and feeling energetic!
The class’s instructor, Asya Khasnutdinova, is simply phenomenal. She is professional, motivational, funny and always positive. Her routines are NEVER boring and the sessions fly by. The class members are always extremely welcoming and are wonderful to get to know. Everyone is so supportive, which makes newcomers feel very comfortable.
Anytime a workout can make you smile AND keep you active and healthy, it is a very good thing. Whether you’re 6 or 60, Valeo is a blast and I highly recommend it!

While I can’t attest to whether or not Valeo Fit 1,000 truly burns 1,000 calories, if it doesn’t it’s pretty darn close. This was an excellent workout — and when «Gangnam Style» dance moves are part of the routine, how can you not enjoy this?
I found Valeo through a Groupon deal and after reviewing the details online, snapped up this bargain — it sounded like a blast and a good work out all in one, and I’m always up for a new exercise class to shake up my routine.
After a little difficulty finding the place (it’s actually housed inside the Family Life Center on Peachtree Rd), I was in, upstairs with a group of about 8 other girls and ready to have my butt kicked. Our instructor Asiya was awesome — she’s tiny, fit, upbeat and energetic and had me grinning, sweating and exhausted by the end.
And like I said before, when you’re dancing to songs like Kesha, Lady Gaga, Psy, salsa and more interspersed with weighted hula hoops, resistance bands, Swiss medicine balls, and free weights, you’ve got an awesome workout on your hands. I enjoyed every minute of it and felt like I’d really gotten a great sweat on by the end of the 60 minute class.
I’m so glad I signed up for this Groupon, and I may seriously consider continuing after the Groupon expires (or trying to find another). Can’t wait for my next class next week!

This past Labor Day I had my wedding and because of Asiya it was one of the most memorable nights of my life. We contacted her in May because we wanted to start taking dance lessons and do a fun dance. I wanted to dance to Dirty Dancing but my wife thought that was way to cheesy. We both agreed on «Sing, Sing, Sing» by Bennie Goodman which was a 3.5 minute song and very tough. Ou first appointment Asiya already had the dance laid out and had us start working on the basics. We did a total of 12 lessons and was the best investment EVER. The first dance usually sets the tone not just for a wedding but also for a marriage. We didn’t do our dance for our guests but we did it for us. Both of us work so much so it gave us time to hang out with each other while getting in a workout each session. Asiya is an AMAZING teacher that does research knows how to explain it so even a beginner can understand. We had zero knowledge or skill inn dancing so this was definitely challenging but with Asiyas help she made it possible. Here is the link to the dance.

I went to my first Valeo Fit 1000 class today and LOVED it. It was a real workout, but it changed so frequently that just as you were getting exhausted, you were on to another muscle group/​type of exercise– I loved that «mixing it up» meant different styles, hula hoops, coin belts, yoga balls, etc, instead of just a collection of step aerobics moves like at some fitness studios. The instructor, Asiya, was fun and engaging, and the class had students of all ages and body types. Once my Groupon classes run out, I’m definitely going to buy a class card.
ETA: I didn’t even wait a week to buy a class card! I scheduled myself for twice a week originally, but now I’m going three times a week. I’ve been doing all sorts of Zumba and Capoeira classes, but the Valeo classes are hands down my favorite.
