Erika Perez

Dance & Fitness Expert


"I’m Erika. My story is a timeline of achievements that have shaped my passion for fitness & dance. I believe that dancing is a way to relieve stress & enrich the spirit while enhancing a healthy lifestyle. I am devoted to motivating, building confidence & guiding individuals towards unlocking their utmost potential through wellness, wisdom & physical fitness.

I have a background in personal training & nutrition. I also specialize as a Body Sculpting Consultant. My journey began when my stepfather was diagnosed with serious health issues. Needing the help in nutrition & physical training, helped motivate me to enroll with ISSA.

My goal as a Zumba instructor is to provide the community with a class that maintains high physical requirements while showing the beauty of Latin rhythms. Join us today, knowing that without commitments you will never start & without consistency, you will never finish."

Lindsay Grunwald

Group Fitness Expert

& Founder of 'Element X' Fitness Protocol

"Hi! My name is Lindsay! I have been teaching fitness since 2012, leading live and virtual classes across several US cities. I strive to safely lead groups through exercise while fostering an empowering environment to develop healthier communities. My teaching style involves a lot of listening, not only to what clients say but also to how their bodies move.

My classes incorporate movements that challenge balance and awareness to build strength that can be carried out of the gym & translated into daily life. I specialize in bringing features of dance choreography & sports agility into class to improve the connection between our heads, hearts, & feet.

My advice for newcomers is to remember this is YOUR WORK OUT, & you are the one who knows your body best! My philosophy is that this class is designed for you to go at your own best pace, & to select options best suited for you today!"

Check Out What Our Summer Beta Group Members say about us

These workouts are really top notch. The team has an amazing understanding of physiology that allows them to craft these routines that are super challenging but not at all 'undoable'.

One of the key features is the wide array of exercises that work those "I didn't know I had that muscle" muscles.

Also, I love the positive, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It makes all the difference to have instructors that are so personable and engaging. REALLY! Love this program!

Would recommend it to anyone!

Ok can I just say this- DANCING FOR FITNESS IS SO MUCH FUN!!! I almost forgot how great it feels to just move with beats & music. By the time I am done I am covered in sweat & it doesn't even feel like I did anything grueling- yet my calorie tracker say 500 plus calories burned every single time.

What I like about this style of fitness is I can decide how fast I go. I can take breaks & I don't feel like the odd person out. Everyone in class is so friendly & easy going. It's not like a CrossFit gym where hulking people are throwing dumbbells down & roaring at you. LOL.

I REALLY LOVED IT!

Frequently Asked Question

What makes Stay The Course Fitness better than going to a gym or personal trainer?

What Stay The Course offers that a gym membership doesn't is a personal support system that is mutually involved in your progress and achievements. For most people the problem is not that they lack a gym to work out at, but instead they lack the motivation to start, to stay consistent and the accountability to stay the course. Others simply don't know what to do when they begin.

One-on-one sessions with a personal trainer can be as intimidating as they are expensive, ranging anywhere for $40-$100 a session. Stay The Course was created by group fitness instructors looking to eliminate this expense for clients, while still offering quality training support and individual attention. But above all Stay The Course was created to be a welcoming fitness community. We are a place to get fit at a pace that is right for you, a place to meet friends and place to have fun on your journey.​

What is Adult Fitness Class mean? Will this be too much for me?​

"Boot Camp" just describes a style of instruction and execution of exercise. Do not let this term intimidate you. We assure you there will be no 'drill sergeant' shouting orders in your ear and no one will make you work beyond your capabilities or relative comfort level. Our trainers simply encourage and support you to do all that you can through positive reinforcement, problem solving and personal communication, with your safety as our prime concern. We ask that you work at a pace that is right for you, and you decide what pace that will be. As a group we take ample water beaks frequently and check in with each other advising further rest when exertion has gone beyond maximum capabilities.

How long are workouts? Are they suitable for men and women? How many people will be at each meeting?​

Workouts range anywhere from 50 min to an hour. They can be performed by men or women with modifications for each and heavier weights or bands for either. A Certified trainer will be instructing each class meeting and there is a limit of 25 participants for each meeting however depending on attendance the number participants will likely be smaller.​

What should I wear? Should I bring anything?

Wear comfortable, nonrestrictive clothing, gym shoes and refrain from wearing jewelry. Bring a full water bottle and gym towel (Heart-rate monitor is optional).​

How should I prepare for Stay The Course?

Please get a full night sleep of at least 7-8 hours prior to meetings. Do not eat any full meals prior to class. Lite snacks only or fasted state. Also, do not eat any foods that have been known to upset your stomach prior, ex. could be Coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, large quantities of milk or medications that create nausea. If you are hungry before meetings single servings of fruit or vegetables are optimal. Please come to meetings promptly, prepared and on time as to not miss warm-ups and stretches which are vital to your safety and success.​

What if I'm not as advanced as others in class?

Our program is for people of all fitness levels. Do not be discouraged if other members are further along in their fitness journey than you are. You will get there. Plus, there are modifications for almost every exercise we do so that it can be eased into by a beginner or adapted for an advanced member. It is important to remember we are all working out with the same goal, to improve ourselves. Therefore, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.​

How does nutrition come into play?

Nutrition is an essential and on-going part of our fitness journey and our lives. You cannot attain your fitness goals with exercise alone. At class nutritional guidelines which are easy to follow are made available to members at all times. But more importantly members will learn the current consensus for proper nutrition, the physiological mechanism for weight loss and gain as well as tips for success. All topics will be discussed regularly in an open forum each meeting.​

What are all these fitness terms like "Core-cardio", "Plyometrics", "Resistance Training" & "High Intensity Interval Training"? Why are these the best methods for working out?​"

Core-cardio is just a form of aerobic exercise (specific intention to raise your heart rate) which focuses on movements which engage and strengthen your core. Plyometrics is any exercise in which muscles are repeatedly and rapidly engaged and then contracted (as in jumping high off the ground or in push-ups with a clap between them for example).

The aim of plyometrics is to improve muscle power by way of explosive movements. "HIIT" is a method of performing exercises working up to a high intensity or pace from a lower intensity or pace. This benefits the cardiovascular system while attempting to burn a maximum amount of calories. Resistance training is performing exercises that either push or pull resistance away from or towards the body. These can be done with free weights, (dumbbells, barbells etc.) resistance bands or the weight of your own body (push-ups, pull-ups, & dips). These methods of working out have been clinically studied, developed and proven to yield the significant benefits the human body seeks from movement and exercise.

All of these and more are built into our dance fitness class routines as well as boot camp.

Do I have to RSVP for class?

No need to RSVP or email us simply show up ready to rock!

Can I pay for class in person?

Unfortunately, you cannot pay in person and must register online at this site.

How do I cancel my membership?​

Simply email us at [email protected] with "Cancel my membership" in the subject line so we can process your request quickly.
