You’ll not only burn calories & tone muscle, you’ll laugh & forget you’re working out. Thick Thighs & Whoopie Pies instructors teach across local facilities & gyms across Lancaster, PA.
Humans of all ages, shapes, size, and abilities aren’t just welcome in our fitness classes, but are EMPOWERED and ENCOURAGED to break out of their comfort zones.
You’ll march to merengue. You’ll twerk to reggaeton. You’ll salsa to some Marc Anthony. You may even do a little gwara gwara to Afrobeat. Regardless of the playlist, you’ll grin while you sweat.
We are a group of Zumba and group fitness instructors teaching at various facilities around Lancaster County, PA. Drop in to our classes – memberships not required!
But Wait…There’s More!
We’re not one-trick twerking ponies. We’ve got a few other (heart rate increasing) tricks up our athleisure sleeves.
One of our tenets is accessibility — we know dance fitness is not everyone’s bag. TT&WP instructors offer other group fitness formats for those looking to lift weights, hit something, or take a dip in the pool. Looking for one-on-one coaching? Several of our instructors are licensed personal trainers with years of experiencing working with men and women of various ages and backgrounds.
RELEASE YOUR INNER ROCKSTAR! Music-driven, drumming-inspired workouts that are anything but routine.
A high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program that syncs total-body conditioning, cardio, and plyometric moves to original, reverse-engineered music. Designed by Zumba, slaps like kickboxing.
There is a reason ballet dancers are RIPPED. Take a barre class for low impact strength training and muscle toning.
Slide into the pool for a fun, challenging, low-impact body-toning workout in the set to kickin’ international music.
Round out a fitness routine with workouts like Zumba Toning® & Fit Happens, specific to building and strengthening the muscles & stamina.
Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a newbie, drop in on an adult dance class and get your dance fix.
Stay tuned…coming soon.
Zumba is unique: something special happens when you drop it low next to others. You laugh. You smile. You connect. You find Your People.
That’s the core of what we believe at TT&WP.
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
We’re not a gym! Check the class schedule for locations of individual classes. Class locations vary as each TT&WP instructor teaches across different facilities in Lancaster County.
You can find us at:
We also encourage you to browse Zumba.com for other instructors near you.
Class fees vary by instructor but will average about $10 – $25 per class for in-person classes.
You can find class costs in the calendar and payment info on the instructor bios.
Not quite. Many gyms actually offer guest passes or drop-in class passes but don’t make it commonly known. Facilities like YMCA offer day passes that start around $15/day. Fee info will be listed on the class calendar.
Many facilities have age requirements. Typically, minimum class age is 12 unless accompanied by an adult. Some gyms offer childcare (like the YMCA). At this time, our instructors do not teach Family Zumba, Zumba Kids, or Zumbini. That said, children aren’t prohibited from attending.
Bear in mind:
Feel free to reach out to us if you have specific questions.
NO! You do NOT have to be a dancer. You can have two left feet, go the wrong way, and make ALL THE MISTAKES. No one is here to be a Rockette. We dance to move our bodies and have a good time, and TT&WP instructors make it our mission to create a safe, comfortable place to BE YOURSELF.
Because we each teach at different facilities, we each have different answers to this question. If you’d like to take a class for a spin, contact us! We want you to feel comfortable, and we’re happy to find a solution that works for you.
In 2019, several of us from the Lancaster YMCA attended the annual Zumba Instructor Network conference in Orlando, FL. We came up with the name TT&WP as an homage to our Central PA roots and our various body shapes as a hashtag to chronicle our adventures on social media.
The name stuck.
Every so often we dust off the old brain to write some (hopefully) helpful resources to our fellow dance fitness nerds. Curious about what the heck to wear to Zumba? What to expect? How to not hate your life every New Year when you recommit to getting back to the gym? There might be something in here for you.
