Zumba with Helen Challis

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic atmosphere! Helen is a brilliant instructor and goes over and above to make you feel welcomed in the group; getting to know you as a person. She really does make you feel valued. As a plus size woman I was initially hesitant to go to a fitness class, having had difficult experiences in the past as I didn’t fit the mould. Never had that experience here. I’ve grown in confidence with my body and anything I can’t physically do, Helen always finds adaptions that best suit my ability. I can honestly say, the best thing to come out of covid was the online sessions as that gave me confidence to join in person (although I needn’t have worried!) I could not recommend the class enough - it is a brilliant stress reliever after work; I struggle with the gym but here you can workout whilst having fun. I have made wonderful friendships in the group and gained so much more confidence in myself. For me, it is not just a fitness class; it has brought so much joy and changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: Never been. Dunno why I've been given the suggestion to review. But you go Helen Challis! Up the Zumbas

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend the instructor Helen and her classes at all venues. If you’re looking for a warm and friendly class with lots of fun, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous classes and the instructor Helen is brilliant. No need to be hesitant about coming along to class as everyone is so friendly and a great time is had by all. It has to be the best way to dance yourself fit and have fun at the same time. No judgement on anyone to be 100% step perfect, as long as you ate moving you are having fun. The toning classes on Wednesdays at Ormiston are brilliant as you use light hand weights for part of the routine for resistance. Dont hesitate, come join the party

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about joining a class where I didn't know anyone but this class is so warm, friendly and positive. It's high energy so you are working out but you do as much as you can with no judgment. The best decision I ever made. No hesitation in recommending. It's great.
