What will I need to take part?
You’ll need a suitable space for dancing in although this doesn’t need to be large because our dance routines are designed to be done at home. For Pilates, you’ll need a space large enough for a mat so you can do the floor exercises. Occasionally, we use exercise bands in some our Pilates classes but these are optional. Always make sure the space you use to exercise in is safe from trip hazards etc.

What will the classes be like?
Our Latin inspired ZUMBA fitness classes are great cardio classes! They’re lots of fun, easy to follow and taught by a team of ZUMBA instructors who will keep you motivated every step of the way. If you fancy something more challenging then you can try our SWEAT classes which are a form of high intensity training. Our Pilates classes are great for improving core strength, flexibility and balance. There are lots of Pilates classes to choose from including beginners, mixed ability and more specialised classes that target specific areas e.g. abdominals, legs, arms etc. Our team of qualified Pilates practitioners use excellent teaching skills to guide you through the exercises offering alternatives so you can work at your own level. The duration of our classes is between 30-45 minutes with the exception of SWEAT classes which are 10 minutes long.
