In this edition we hear from Jo, who has benefitted from attending Zumba at Middleton Cricket Club and Cardio Club at Bowlee Park Sports Centre.
"I first heard about activ8teme when I noticed a poster up at work. It appealed to me as you don't need to book in advance, the classes interested me, they're reasonably priced and they fit into my busy schedule.
I went along, on my own, not knowing anybody and soon realised that I loved the classes as I'm not a gym person. I've now lost one and a half stone, inches around my waistline and dropped a couple of dress sizes. This is through combining exercise and healthy eating.
I love the classes. I'm always laughing and smiling when I'm there and they give me such a boost. Afterwards, I feel positive and a sense of satisfaction. I've gained so much confidence. I'm wearing clothes I'd never have dreamt about years ago. My lifestyle is so much better and healthier and I don't feel as bloated or sluggish.
The best part about this is that by attending activ8teme classes, it has given me the chance to meet a group of ladies who I'm now proud to call 'my friends'. Not only do we turn up and exercise together, we also socialise outside of the class. Here's to more classes, more laughter and continuing to be happy and healthier".
