What people said about KAREN RUTTEN & FLAVA FITNESS....
Karen brings the Fun and Fitness to every class. It's high energy and super inclusive for all fitness levels, ages and abilities. We look forward to every Monday night. Come along, you will love it 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 (Marian 30/9/19)
Awesome, every class is fantastic. (Emma 2/4/19)
High vibes with a great fun workout... Always feel invigorated after another great class.
(Deb 16/9/19)
Let me say that I absolutely loved your class. It was so much fun and even better than I thought it was going to be. I felt really comfortable and wasn’t worried when I knew I was mucking up the choreo (which I thought would bother me). I couldn’t get the smile off my face during your class. When I got home my husband asked me what I thought of it and I said, “It was awesome!!” I was on a real high for ages afterwards and even woke up with a buzz thinking about Zumba. I will definitely be back. I was also glad you played the “Take on me” song from AHA. I have to say that song was what decided me to try your class when I heard it at the Emmaus Fair, as I’m an 80’s fan. Thanks for making me feel so welcome and I aim to be back again on Tuesday, marathon anniversary night. Congratulations on 3 years, I can see why so many people love your classes. (Anonymous 2/4/13)
Zumba Down South has really changed my life, I'm very grateful for what it's done for me and our community...physically, emotionally and socially. Karen Rutten is a true inspirational woman, she really makes getting fit fun and being apart of Zumba Down South feels like a family. All you have to do is "Like" the ZDS Facebook page and you will see how dedicated she is to her customers/business. (Amanda 8/8/11)
Karen Rutten of Zumba Down South is the most amazing instructor you will ever meet. There is no other person on this planet that could ever get me to workout and push myself as much as Karen does. Karen shares so much passion, enthusiasm and modivation with us, that we want to always keep coming back to her. Before Zumba I hated any form of excersice, I was very self consious, and shy, little did i know how awesome it was going to be and its now my favourite thing to do. I started my classes in the back row, but now I stand in the front row and have been up on stage for routines a few time with Karen herself. Karen is such an inspiration to me and has to be one of the most amazing women i have met in my life. I could never thank her enough for what she has done for me and the confidence i have gained through her classes, she has had such a positive affect on my life infact she has changed my life..... Oh and boy can she bust a move!! Her moves are INCREDIBLE! We love you Karen x (Falhan 8/6/11)
Karen is an amazing instructor! Her classes are so much fun and NEVER boring! She also has lots of original ideas which make her classes stand out from the others in the area. I tried another southern instructor's class and it was so boring, I didn't even break a sweat. At Karen's classes I always break a sweat but am having so much fun it doesn't even feel like exercise! Karen Rutten is definitely the best Zumba instructor and Zumba Down South is awesome :) (Steph 8/6/11)
Karen Rutten of Zumba Down South is the most awesome instructor ever and every other instructor should take a leaf out of her book. Karen's continued enthusiasm, motivation and drive for ever astound me. She an amazing ability to make you wanna keep going back for more always encouraging. Karen has a down to earth approach and makes you feel so very welcome from the first visit. Karen knows what she is talking about to and has a genuine caring approach to. Beto Perez should be so very very proud to have such an awesome ambassador because I've never ever enjoyed exercise more since attending Karen's class. I highly recommend her to everyone whose interested in enjoying this fantastic way of keeping fit and healthy. (Kath 8/6/11)
Karen is the Zumba Queen down south! (Dawn Lindenberger 7/7/10)
Hi Karen Re Zumba Toning, I just wanted 2 say I love how we've been doing the concentrated exercises on specific muscle groups. Yr workouts our fantastic!

All I can say is that I am addicted to ZUMBA, I have been attending Zumba with Karen for 4 months now and I have noticed a big difference with my fitness level, not only is Zumba a fantastic work out but it allows you to let loose, have fun and make new friends and every night feels like a party. ZUMBA with Karen keeps you motivated and inspired to workout to your full potential. Thankyou Karen for bringing the ZUMBA PARTY to the south!!! Mandy Lewis
