Bombay Jam is the ultimate dance fitness total body workout. Developed by the Mona Khan Company, Bombay Jam is an effective, safe program packed with authentic Bollywood flavor. The program incorporates cardio and toning routines into one action-packed workout set to a unique blend of Bollywood and mainstream Top 40 music. The cardio routines incorporate basic, easy-to-follow dance fitness moves full of Bollywood flair. The toning segments focus on sculpting long, lean muscles. In an hour-long class, participants can burn up to 800 calories.

"The community we build in the studio through our classes definitely makes us special and sets us apart, along with our uniquely addicting music mixes," says Reena Shah, Program Manager, who has been involved with Bombay Jam since the program started in 2009.

Though inspired by Bollywood and dance, Bombay Jam is healthy fun for anyone interested in fitness, dance, and music. The Pleasanton studio offers Bombay Jam classes on multiple days and at multiple times each week, including weekday evenings and weekend mornings, so that students have convenient workout options. It is easy to try a Bombay Jam class; the first class for new users is free. Moreover, Bombay Jam is certified by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America and is extremely safe and effective, according to Shah.

"With busy lives, work schedules, and juggling so much at any given time, it becomes harder to prioritize healthy living," notes Shah. "Bombay Jam brings students to their happy place, while sweating it out. This is something essential to life, almost like a daily vitamin."

Bombay Jam was developed by Bollywood dancers, choreographers, and nationally certified fitness instructors with years of experience in the industry. Safety, effectiveness and loads of fun are essential ingredients of this cutting-edge program. The core team of choreographers was born and raised in Mumbai, India, the heart of the Indian film industry. That is why Bombay Jam is "authentic, original, and the real deal," according to the company.

The Mona Khan Company expanded its studio at Hacienda in 2018 as the demand for its Bollywood-based fitness program increased. The Pleasanton studio is one of the company's three flagship locations. The other two studios are located in Cupertino and Milpitas. Three instructors at the Hacienda studio currently teach Bombay Jam classes and are supported by a larger team.

The company, previously known as the Mona Sampath Dance Company, produces the Bay Area's largest Bollywood resident show twice a year and has evolved to be one of the biggest platforms for Bollywood dance in North America. Today the company holds more than 115 classes a week and has more than 150 shows in its performance repertoire. The founders were inspired and determined to infuse the insanely fun Bollywood culture into shows, classes such as dance workshops, and the Bombay Jam fitness program.
