Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

Hi there guys,

I hope you're well. 

I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com

I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything?

I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too?

Very best, 

Eleanor 

Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!

Dulwich leisure centre?

Zumba or Pilates there?

I go to Zumba at forest Hill Pools... Pay as you go membership and its very inclusive all ages shapes and sizes.

Ditto I find the leisure centre the same..I'm mid 60's by the way.

I prefer gyms to schools..the rooms they do the classes in are custom built.

I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry..

most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged.

Do give it a go.
