I did Zumba today. ME! Erica B! I did an hour long class of Zumba. I know, you're thinking hell,…read moredoes she want a medal? Well let me inform you- I am the single most uncoordinated gal on the planet. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld- actually she puts me to shame. I've been known to trip over lines in the sidewalk, carpeting that is too thick and run into walls without any given notice. Yes, I did Zumba. I was never aware of what this actually entailed, but was always slightly curious, though obviously not enough to warrant checking it out. A friend told me about the classes at Midtown Dance Studio, conveniently located in Minglewood Hall and within walking distance of my house. All this and only $7 bucks? ($40 unlimited all month- and they have weekday classes as well. Freaking steal!) There were no excuses. I agreed to go this morning. I foolishly researched a video of it a mere 30 minutes before leaving my house and almost backed out. This requires some serious rhythm. Which the dear Lord decided not to gift me. I put on my big girl panties, sucked it up and showed up for the 10 am class. Cue the warm up. Hey, this isn't so bad. I can keep up! Perhaps those videos I watched were advanced! Look at me go! I'm keeping up with the instructor. Next song, not as easy. Okay, I'm just out of shape. I just had a baby, it's hot in here. I can keep going with some minor adjustments to this crazy foot work. Two songs later, asking my friend for the time. We've gotta be close to wrapping this shit up. 10:22?!?!? WHAT?! Okay, I can do this. I can't breathe- but it's all good. Fake it till you make it! Oh, that lady in front of me is pausing. Good. I'll just go grab my water bottle. Whoa! What is going on with the footwork here? I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look like a lame horse or perhaps a donkey. Cue the incessant laughing by me and the little boy who was drug to the class by his mother. I can't stop laughing. I'm burning more calories laughing than shaking my hips. Is it just me or do parts of Zumba remind you of the dance Patrick Dempsey does at prom in Can't Buy Me Love? Laughing uncontrollably again. Cool down! Ahh yes. This wasn't bad. I was actually quite good. I can do this again next week! Judging by the extreme lack of rhythm going on in my class that thought process has to be pretty similar in everyone's head. Otherwise this place would be empty. If your excuse is that you think you'll make a fool of yourself- screw it. I just made a fool out of myself for the both of us and then some. It was fun. I enjoy laughing at myself- and really points to anyone for showing up and trying. I'll definitely be back- though I'll be having meetings with Billy Blanks in my living room this week to try and build up some stamina. That shit is rough yo!

The young ladies at the front didn't say anything to us and after I paid she just walked off didn't say where to go pick us the rental skates or nothing. Also, when I spoke to the young man who gives out skates his response was what size..... Wow!! I guess I didn't just say hello. Rude!

The free weights and weight machines work well, though there are only so many available. The cafeteria never seems open, everything is covered in chalk, and until recently there were never any cleaning wipes. But nobody should be going here just for those things, so the review shouldn't be about that. This is a great climbing gym. If you climb, go here.

Memphis Rox is in the neighborhood with Stax Museum at McLemore Ave. There is parking behind the building. The area is very spacious, clean, and well organized from supplies to pricing. There is a waiver to sign before beginning, and can be completed online or in person. The employees are very approachable and helpful. They guide you through the space, explain the layout, and are very welcoming to first timers. There are the assorted walls, but also a gym, yoga area, boxing area, and juice bar. side note: restrooms passed. They are clean, and there's a shower with towels available. There are lockers on the wall for personal belongings. There are also lockers near the bathrooms, but you'll need your own lock for those. There are several walls for varying levels of experience. Each area is cushioned, so if you do fall, you won't be hitting concrete. We changed into rock climbing shoes. You wear one size up from your normal shoe size. We had the choice of either free climbing the smaller walls or lessons in the back. The instructor was with us while he explained the smaller walls and you, for lack of better term, climb by color. A lot of us climbed the free walls. I went with the lesson on the back wall. Our instructor was awesome! With 10 first timers, he did an excellent job. I learned how to do a 10 point knot several times, and how to put on climbing gear. You do it over and over, but it makes perfect sense because you're preparing to do it independently. It ended up being three of us. This training definitely takes trust, because you learn how to tie yourself to climb, but you're also dependent on your partner to help you down the wall. The climb was so much fun! I almost got to the top of the wall. We alternated climbing up and guiding our partner down, and then we got our certification for completing the lesson. The last part of the party was food. I had the turkey burger, and it was REALLY good. It was tender and well seasoned. The berry smoothie was also really good. I'll give this one a rating: new climbs and good times. I had an awesome time here, and it was fun meeting new people and always fun trying new things. Definitely check this place out.

We also did some individual activities such as rock climbing and zip lining, which allowed us to push our personal boundaries in addition to challenging our boundaries in group settings. The staff was awesome - always helpful and cheerful, but not in an obnoxious way. There is a lake, basketball court, indoor meeting facility, pool, game room, and awesome patio with rocking chairs.
