How much does Plate by Zumba cost?
A one-time fee of $99 gives members access to the comprehensive e-learning, a social community, articles and recipes, teaching materials, and online trainings created by a panel of experts.
This program has taken years to create. We have researched and studied, and brought you some of the best nutrition experts in the world. This program was originally priced at $499. Our CEO, Alberto Perlman felt that pricing it lower would make a bigger dent in the obesity epidemic and wants everyone to take this course... "Healthy eating is extremely important to round out your fitness and healthy lifestyle. Everyone needs this information. We need to price so it is more affordable for ZINs."
So, we brought the price down to just $99!

Does this program make me a dietitian or a nutritionist?
A Plate by Zumba™ Coach license does NOT make you a dietitian or a nutritionist. This is not the purpose of the program. There is a strict scope of practice that you will learn about, as part of the course. You will learn what you can and cannot say, and when you must refer students to a licensed professional.
The Plate by Zumba course offers you a way to share healthy eating knowledge with your students in a way that is fun and interactive. This course will round out your fitness career, add value to your classes, and help you and your students meet your goals and live a healthier lifestyle.
Here is an example:
Today we will learn about the different types of "antioxidants," and what foods contain these protective nutrients. (Members teach their class about the importance of these foods. Teaching material is provided). At the end of class: "Next week we will be having an Antioxidant Potluck. Everyone, find a recipe that contains your favorite antioxidants and bring it to class and share!"
Will I be able to coach my students?
Yes! You will not only learn the tools to create healthy eating habits for you, but also for your students. By completing the e-learning course, you officially become a Licensed Plate by Zumba™ Coach. While completing the program will not make you a licensed dietitian or give you the ability to prescribe nutrition programs, it will allow you to coach your students, sharing the information you've learned and enhancing the class experience.
There are 3 key modules that will help you understand how coaching works:
Module 11. Scope of Practice
Module 12. Teaching Plate by Zumba
Module 13. Effective Coaching for Your Students
