I hadn’t exercised in years and was terrified of looking silly. By the second song I’d stopped caring and just danced. Six months in I go three times a week, I’ve dropped a dress size, and it genuinely feels like a night out with friends, not a workout.
The Tampines studio is right above the MRT so I pop in after work without thinking about it. Priya’s toning class is the perfect mix — I sweat buckets but I’m smiling the whole time. The toning sticks sneak in a workout I’d never do at a gym.
I came for a harder workout than my usual run and Fiesta Strong delivered — it’s HIIT but the music carries you through the brutal bits. Daniel always shows a low-impact option so I scaled up over a few weeks. Best cardio I’ve found in town.
At 58 I assumed my dancing days were over. Gentle Groove proved me wrong — no jumping, all the joy, and the warmest group of ladies you could hope to meet. The friendships I’ve found here are the real bonus. My doctor is thrilled with my blood pressure too.
I signed up for the social dance class on a whim and now go every week. I came knowing nothing and can actually hold my own at a bachata night now. No partner needed, everyone rotates, and I’ve made the loveliest group of friends.
Walked out of my first class knowing an actual routine to a song I love — never thought I could dance. Daniel breaks everything down so patiently. Great workout, and a real confidence boost I didn’t expect.
