Barre fitness is ideal if you're just getting into exercise or you need to add some intensity, freshness and novelty to your weekly gym routine. The classes will improve your balance, build strength, make you more flexible, burn calories, and improve stability through a stronger core. As you get more comfortable and fit, we will ramp up the intensity by adding weights.

This class is a fun low impact dance exercise suitable for all fitness levels, shapes and sizes. This is a wonderful way to improve your balance and maintain joint function. These classes are held at Anitas Dance Academy in King Street and run by Charmaine Seccombe.

Belly dancing offers a great form of aerobic exercise, with natural endorphins entering the body and boosting the mind, to give the dancer an exercise high. Belly dancing is great for blowing away mental cobwebs, whilst giving its dancers a happier outlook on life.
