Amanda  Hayhurst 

I am 57 years old and have been coming to Claire's classes for just under a year now. I usually attend twice a week: Monday mornings in Brinklow, and Thursday evenings in Wolston. When I started, I had not exercised in a formal class since before Covid and I felt that my exercise routine needed a shake up. I also had lots of aches and pains after long walks or gardening sessions.  I was a bit nervous about whether I would be able to follow the routines and or keep up, but Claire's informal and friendly teaching is completely judgement-free, she is really easy to chat to, and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. It is quite easy to follow the routines after a while, but if you get it wrong, it really doesn't matter. The music choices are very wide, there's something for everyone. 10 months on, I feel great, much more toned, with loads of energy. I am much fitter, and feel I can throw myself into the routines and push myself. Claire's classes are for everyone:  whatever your level of fitness, age or gender, have a go. It's fun!

Claire creates a fun atmosphere although stretching and using all parts of our bodies 
Great tunes each week 
So fun , whilst working out

Once again Claire guided us in dancing to great tunes . 
A really fun class attended by people of all ages and abilities 
As Claire says - just keep moving 

Jenny  Lumsden

Brilliant way to start the week! Fun dance routines to lively music. Great atmosphere.

As always a brilliant class. Dance moves, leg work & weights for all over body fitness. 

Brilliant class , very hot and sweaty but we all got through it with encouragement from Claire 
Always great music to dance/move to 
A class for everyone 

Another great fun class by Claire 
New tunes which were great to follow
All welcome 

Brilliant  class, fun ,friendly,   fitness . Can highly recommend  to all ages.

Margaret Carney

A great class as always. Some brilliant dance moves that covers a whole body workout. Thanks Claire. See ya next time.

Brilliant class with great music

Friendly group of people 
Claire is an excellent tutor who encourages you to join in in whatever way you can

Katherine Sullivan 

Great class, friendly people, work at whatever level you like and make a mistake no problem just smile and carry on. 

Claire as always taught a great class. Lively & friendly. Brilliant dance moves & music. Claire always encourages us & gives us different options to work harder.

Love thd Monday brinklow class  of rhythm  and moves that  Claire  runs , it's fun, a  great mix of music and very friendly  and welcoming.  You can can work yourself  as much   as you feel comfortable  doing . It's also a great way to lift your  mood . Can highly recommend.  

Really fun class
Tunes ensure all areas of the body are moving from fingers to toes
Claire is a really  good tutor and i thoroughly enjoy attending 

Claire's classes are so good physically & mentally. On Monday Claire introduced a new move with the weights (you don't have to use them) it really challenged our brains. A great class as always.

Fun class for all abilities 
Great music and dance moves 
Even if you forget routines - just keep moving 
Come join us - friendly group of people  suitable for all genders  

Great fun class suitable for all
Just keep moving to great choreographed tunes 

I had a great workout with Claire & the group yesterday. Fab music to dance & sing along to. The exercises are easy to follow, we have lots of fun & laughter. I feel good after the class & Claire always makes it enjoyable with her personality & great music.

I struggle to get to these classes often because of balancing too many responsibilities but when I get there I am always just so happy I made it!  Fabulous, relaxed atmosphere, great music, fun exercise, lovely company!  Thanks Claire!  

Fit X Dance Fitness ~ Brinklow Monday

I've left lots of reviews already about how fab these classes are but another one never hurts!  Sometimes the last thing one feels like doing on a Monday morning is dragging yourself out to an energetic class.  Last Monday was one of those days - I quite wanted to go back to bed!  However I made myself go and it is just so fabulous because it creates energy in me to be productive for the rest of the day.  The music can't help but make you feel cheerful and energetic and the group of companions around me are so lovely.  I love these classes and Claire is a super teacher creating a really friendly warm atmosphere.  

Another great fun class 
This class is suitable for all abilities and as long as you keep moving , doesn’t matter if you get it wrong - we all do ! 
Super bunch of people and Claire encourages us all to try different moves 

Deirdhre  Forman

I’ve been attending this class for a while now, and it continues to be one of the highlights of my week! The energy is fantastic, the music is uplifting, and the routines strike a perfect balance for a more mature group—challenging enough to get us moving but always accessible.

Our coach is an absolute gem. She brings so much enthusiasm and authenticity to every session. One of the things I love most is that she lets the class be fun and human—if there’s ever a tiny mix-up in steps, we all just laugh and keep going. It never takes away from the workout; if anything, it makes the atmosphere even more relaxed, friendly, and enjoyable. We’re all in it together, and her openness makes the class feel like a supportive community rather than just an exercise session.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for an energetic, welcoming, feel-good workout!

So, what can I say about Claire’s dance fit classes. I love love them! Over the years I have tried various gyms and exercise classes but can honestly say that these are the best. 
We all have fun whilst dancing to great tunes and it really seems like a fun inclusive session 
We have a laugh and most times get the moves wrong but hey , who cares - not Claire - we just laugh our way through it 
Look forward to classes every week 

Vicky Harrison

Love these classes, gives me such a boost for the rest of the day. 

My three words:  My Happy Place 
Lovely, friendly class for all 

First day back after the holidays and at the tail end of a nasty cold I thought I would struggle at class, but it was the exact opposite. The session gave me so much energy I felt great afterwards. It was good to see Claire and the team again. 

Love going to Rhythm and moves on a monday , it sets me up for the week and puts a smile on my face as well as keeping me fit . Everyone is made to feel welcome  and Claire  is a brilliant lovley instructor .  

Monday Morning Energy - Fit X Dance Fitness Brinklow

I had to take time off from these classes due to illness and I am so over-excited to be able to attend again.  It is the best start to a Monday morning!  Thanks Claire for creating such an inclusive, relaxing and fun atmosphere!  

I've left lots of reviews already about how great these classes are but this week I wanted to say how fabulous all my classmates are.  Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and it creates such a wonderful atmosphere with lots of smiles and happiness.  I'm so glad to have found this group!

Always so much fun and very friendly atmosphere. Always options in the routines, it can be as low or high impact as you like, nobody judging you .

Another great class.  Helps the joints and muscles gently into another week.  Always look forward to Monday's class .
Met lovely ladies and star of the show Claire of course⭐🤗

Nicci Marston

Excellent low impact routines, that can be made into high impact if you wish. 
Easy to follow and able to dance at your own pace. 
Friendly group and lovely instructor 

Another great Monday!
Got a bit confused legs and arms coordination but all added to the fun and I did my own thing for a minute or two 😄.  I'm getting quicker on movements now I'm learning the dances.
Great fun! Good laughs! Friendly faces!
Looking forward to my Monday fix🤗😀

A great session.  Great to see Claire laughing too.  My legs didn't see to coordinate with arms at times but who cares.  I made up for it with energy.
Also I have noticed that the knees aren't playing me up with arthritis so much. Well to be honest, it seems to have gone.  I know its quietly hiding around the 
corner  but Claire's class has frightened it into submission for the moment. 😁😄
See you next time folks xxx

A great class as always. Good moves & fab music as usual. The instruction is always good with easy to follow moves. Come & join in you'll love it & keep yourself fit at the same time.
