Sam runs an excellent dance based fitness class called Funky Fit on Monday evenings, I've been going here for almost 5 years now. It's a brilliant class where you have fun dancing to some new and old songs whilst keeping fit.
Sam is a really friendly, welcoming instructor who regularly introduces new songs and routines to keep the class varied and she welcomes our suggestions for songs. You shouldn't worry about coming to this class if you think you can't dance. Sam's routines are easy enough to follow and no-one minds if we go wrong, it's all part of the fun!

Funky Fit is my absolute favourite. Have been to various exercise dance classes and always drop them after a few months because I got bored. Sam rotates the routines so there’s always something new, and really pays attention to which tracks we particularly like as a group to keep longer. Been going for years and don’t intend to stop any time soon.
