What Our Clients Have To Say

Taking part in the sessions weekly lifts my mood and it makes me feel like taking a walk so i am continuing to be active. I enjoy the social side to the group, we all have a laugh!!

Mavis, KNH Syke Fold Grange - Older Peoples Health Initiative

Enjoyment... Exercise... It really helps with joint movement due to my arthritis and osteoporosis.

Marguerite, Vale Circles Mental Health Hub - Mental Health Wellbeing Scheme

Exercise group gets my circulation going, keeps me active and i thoroughly enjoy the group.

Sylvia, Vale Circle Mental Health Hub - Mental Health Wellbeing Scheme

Sometimes i have attended the (chair dance) group feeling exhausted but after taking part i leave feeling refreshed, energetic and much better in myself. The chair dance makes me feel less tense and uptight.

Mark, Vale Circles Mental Health Hub - Mental Health Wellbeing Scheme

The music makes you forget it is exercise and i love how i feel at the end of the chair dance class. I look forward to each class to see what exercises Sophie has in store for us as they are always varied so we don’t get bored of the same routines.

Susan, Vale Circles Mental Health Hub - Mental Health Wellbeing Scheme

I enjoy the Chair Dance because it helps with my coordination. After the session with Sophie i feel younger, this is down to the music choices and the dance moves that we do!

Cath, KNH Syke Fold Grange - Older Peoples Health Initiative

A newbie to the Huddersfield Fitness Fusion class - WOW, Sophie works us so hard but i love it!! The classes are amazing, i enjoy every bit… I leave feeling energised after the class! I love the dancing, the music and the burn... I enjoy meeting up with friends there each week and can’t believe how much magic water (sweat) comes off me lol...!

Tameka, Fitness Fusion - Active Communities

Love your classes Sophie, always a great workout!!

Sarah, Fitness Fusion Gomersal - Active Communities

I have been diagnosed with Parkinsons and Schizophrenia so i was interested in the sessions as it was something different to what i was doing at the hospital - i wanted to do something new. I like the music that Sophie plays, it takes me back. I really enjoy coming on a regular as i get some time to myself and i like the exercises, i know that they are good for me. I have been taking part for a while now so i can feel the difference in my muscles. I sometimes do the exercises at home.

Derek, Lovell Park Hub - Mental Health Wellbeing Scheme

I really enjoy this weekly chair dance session, i love the group atmosphere, the laughter as well as the exercise and the variety of the music. Laughter is a very good medicine! Being in a wheelchair, i find the exercises are progressive and always varied week to week to keep us working but always at our own pace. Although i get tired from taking part in the exercise it does liven me up for the day
