Zumba classes in Buxton
Zumba Fitness is taught by Janet with dance fitness routines to Latin and world rhythms, as well as chart hits that you’ll know and love! Janet makes shimmying about fun with her easy-breezy attitude and simple but fun choreo. Great for letting out your inner diva and giving your arms, legs, bums and tums a workout in the process!
Don’t worry about being coordinated or not, just enjoy the music, keep moving and you’ll soon pick it up! The Thursday night class is set in a darkened room with disco lights anyway so there is no need to feel self conscious. Please note that we are unable to darken the room in the Saturday morning class, but I promise, we are a lovely lot and people honestly don’t care how you dance, we all make mistakes and giggle in the process!

Class Tips!
- If it’s your first class, then aim to be about 10 minutes early so that you have plenty of time to find us and
- There is parking on both sites, with room road side too.
- There are toilets at both sites.
- There are changing rooms at Buxton Community School, so if you’re coming to class straight from work, feel free to use them.
- Stay hydrated. Not just at class, but throughout the day. Perhaps bring extra water or an electrolyte drink if it’s hot.
- Wear breathable clothes. Shorts and sports bras are totally acceptable, as are leggings and a breezy top or t shirt. If it’s cold feel free to wear layers that are easily removed once you’re warmed up. Make sure your feet and body are supported well with sporty type trainers (not flat pumps)
- When you first start, all the new tunes and choreo can feel a bit head scrambly. Just go with it. Use us like a mirror to copy. Focus on the what the legs are doing, then add in the arms and when you’ve got that, then add any swagger you like! Tunes are kept in a while so you can pick them up easily and then put all the effort in. Often when you don’t know the choreo, it will feel like you’ve not exercised hard enough. Heck does that change when you know the moves!
- There is no need to bring a method of payment to class as you’ve booked through the booking system Gymcatch. Unless you want the cool branded Clubbercise glowsticks that are £5 a pair and yours to keep (cash or contactless payment accepted).
- There is no need to put ALL the effort into the class. You are always welcome to keep all the low level options throughout.
- If you want to put all the effort into class: get lower in the body by bending your knees, keep the core and arms strong (no noodly arms) at all times and if you know the higher impact levels feel free to go with them from the start of the track. Did you know you can burn up to 600 calories per class? You gotta put the effort in!
- Classes are for all types of people. All ages, genders, sexualities, races and abilities.
- ..Saying that, you must be at least 14 years old to join a Clubbercise class and 16 years to join a Zumba class. You must also be physically fit enough to take part in a fitness class. Please fill in the health questionnaire, and if you answer any of the health questions with a ‘no’ or you are unsure, you must get the ok from your GP before attending a class.
Kind words from our accidental tribe!
