​
What happens at a class?
Each class is taught by me, moves should be followed as if you are looking into a mirror but there is no ‘left’ or ‘right’ in so it really doesn’t matter which way you go! Every class is carefully planned to ensure everyone gets a safe, effective and fun Zumba Gold® workout. We always start with a structured warm-up to mobilise the joints, raise the body temperature and get the blood pumping. The main section usually includes eight tracks of uplifting low impact routines covering a wide variety of dance styles. To ensure we have no aches and pains the following day we always finish with a cool down and stretch out those hard working muscles.
​
​
Do I need dancing experience?
No, absolutely not! It doesn’t matter if you’ve never danced before, Fit 4 Exercise class is for everyone and the steps are taught in such a way that you can work at your own pace and gradually gain a knowledge of the core steps.
I’m a beginner – do you have a beginner’s class?
My classes are suitable for beginners, and new students start each week so in no time at all you will be an expert! Fit 4 Life is a low impact class but can still be tailored to suit your own abilities.

What’s the best footwear?
The best footwear is a lightweight trainer with some cushioning support and minimal tread on the sole, some trainers even have a turning spot on the ball of the foot and helps you turn twist and move without straining your joints. Barefoot is not recommended. Most popular brands have a specific dance/aerobic trainer or studio shoe.
How many classes do you recommend to help me lose weight?
Two classes a week is a great way to kick start any fitness plan and you should see real results provided you are following a healthy eating plan in conjunction with the classes. Of course, if you can only attend one class each week or want to attend more than two classes that’s absolutely fine and you can always sign up to the online classes too.
