The idea of Latin inspired fitness was created by celebrity fitness trainer Alberto "Beto" Perez in Colombia during the late 90's. One day "Beto" forgot his regular Aerobics music and needed to use tapes from his car. These tapes contained the traditional music that Beto grew up with. A little improvisational teaching, combining dance steps with aerobic movements and ZUMBA was born!
