With a 4.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp so far, Fitness Connection has already made a good impression.

Yelper Shaunelle S. wrote, "This one just opened close to home; my first time at this location, and I just happened to try Zumba with Keesha. This was the best class I've taken. She was great, high energy, great personality, and she did a great set!"
