FITNESS CLASSES STRICTLY FOR FUN

Submitted by Editor on

Do you want to get fit? Do you like Strictly Come DancingDo you crave a body like Bruce Forsyth’s but lack anyone to achieve it with?

Spurtle has the answer.

We've got 5 tickets to give away for FitSteps – an enjoyable new fitness course starting at Drummond Community High School later this month.

FitSteps is the ménage-à-trois-brain-lovechild of Strictly dance stars Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite and six-times world champion swimmer and conditioning expert Mark Foster (above).

The result combines Latin and Ballroom dances with fitness techniques in a programme which the publicity describes as ‘capable of delivering fast fitness results with a heap of fun thrown in’. If you think you may be that heap of fun, this programme could be for you.

Delivering the course at Drummond is Lianne Pipskyj (right), a professional dance instructress who with husband Jules has competed seriously in the ballroom mecca of Blackpool.

Her personal dance favourites are jive – ‘mega fun and anyone can do it’ –and tango – ‘awesome music, full of passion’. Casting her professional eye over the current crop of hopefuls in Strictly, she acknowledges that Abbey Clancy is the deserved favourite so far. But Rachel Riley, she believes, has the potential to come good later in the series and be even better.

Lianne is a genuine fan of the sow, and says that by the end of each series some of the contestants are competing at or very near professional standard.

As for FitSteps, she loves the fact that it's effective but not as structured as other fitness courses. You don’t have to be able to dance and you don’t need a partner. You just have to want to get fit and have fun.

Sessions last 45 minutes and cost £4.50. The first one runs on Tuesday 22 October, 6.30–7.15pm. For more information, email Lianne or Tel. 07737 927463.
