We understand that some residents are not able to make it to Your Trust leisure centres, so to support our aim of helping local residents be active and healthy, a new Zumba basic class has recently been set up at Darnhill Library to offer the fitness class in the local community.

During November and December 2023, we worked in partnership with library staff to offer 5 free Zumba Basic taster sessions. The classes have been extremely popular with approximately 20 participants joining each class.

Shahnaz Begum, Senior Library Officer said, It’s a great partnership. People attending are thoroughly enjoying the sessions. They like the venue, the instructor, the music and the pace of the routine.  They’ve found the sessions very welcoming and they’re making new friends, and want these sessions to continue.  It’s becoming very popular and the turnout seems to be increasing which is very positive. All in all, it’s a great success.”

Due to the success of the class, it has now been added to the regular Your Trust In the Community class timetable and takes place on Mondays, 10 – 11am.

The classes are fun, friendly and social and no membership is required. Simply pay £1.50 each time you attend.

Pre-booking is required.
