(We need more SSZs!) But I've come to enjoy the drive, and I REALLY enjoy the fact that the whole workout is over before I know it - no sweating, no muss, no fuss. I'm not bored, and am very grateful for the professionalism and tremendous knowledge of the Instructors.“ Female Client SSZ Sterling, VA - Age 55 - 7 Year Client “I began SuperSlow Zone® to stay in shape. Over the years, and as I age (now mid 40s), I see it now as an alternative to popping pills or having to have minor surgeries. I continue to be 100% fit and well - no pills or health issues. The cost of the workout rewards me with greater value - in my maintaining health. I have no expensive prescription / surgery / doctor expenses and people always tell me how great I look!
