Members at independent, family-run health club Fit In Gym in Warrington are embracing a new martial arts-based class after losing their most popular Zumba teacher.
Fit In Gym was the first health club to introduce Zumba in the local area and, to meet demand, had to timetable the Latin dance-based class seven days a week in its 50-capacity studio.
Owner Sue Williams says: "After coming across a video of Group Kick on YouTube, I took a gamble and replaced our Zumba class with Group Kick. I was nervous about how our members would react, but they embraced Group Kick brilliantly. We haven't lost any members and everyone loves the programme."
Group X Systems' hour-long Group Kick class combines mixed martial arts moves - from the boxing ring to the fighting cage - with music to build total body strength and improve cardio fitness.
Former hotel sales manager Williams opened Fit In Gym in 2009. After being made redundant she had struggled with high health club membership fees, so surveyed 2,000 people in the local area to see if there was a need for a more affordable place to work out.
Les Mills has launched a reformer Pilates workout. The 45-minute workout blends traditional
reformer movements and more contemporary exercises, choreographed to music.
According to research which tracked more than 147,000 people for 30 years, 90-120 minutes
of strength training a week may deliver some of the biggest long-term health rewards.
