Exciting new dance classes in the Cotswolds! Get fit, have fun, and join the Chi Chi Fit craze!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a dynamic new dance class funded by our Active Cotswold programme: Chi Chi Fit, an exciting dance workout that’s taking the world by storm! For the next seven weeks, Cotswold residents can enjoy these uplifting classes free of charge at Cirencester and Bourton-on-the-Water.
The classes launched this weekend kicking off on Saturday, 28 September at Cirencester Leisure Centre, followed by Sunday, 29 September at Bourton-on-the-Water Leisure Centre. Going forward, these sessions will run every Saturday at Cirencester at 9:30am and every Sunday at Bourton-on-the-Water at 10:30am.
Chi Chi Fit is a fun fusion of dance, cardio, and toning exercises designed to help you build strength, boost your fitness, and leave you feeling incredible! Whether you're a seasoned dancer or an absolute beginner, this class welcomes everyone, from children to grandparents.
Cllr Paul Hodgkinson, Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure, and Culture, shared his enthusiasm: “Chi Chi Fit is the latest global dance sensation, and I’m delighted that we can offer eight weeks of free classes as part of our Active Cotswold programme.
“It’s a fantastic way for residents to step outside their comfort zones, get moving, and most importantly, have fun! I encourage everyone to give it a try — no dance experience required!
“Why not turn it into a weekly social? Grab a coffee and have a chat with your friends after the session. There has never been a better excuse to get together every weekend!”
This family-friendly activity is perfect for all ages, so grab your friends, family, and neighbours and come experience Chi Chi Fit! It’s a great opportunity to stay active, meet new people, and enjoy a carefree fitness routine that’s anything but ordinary.
Nick Charlton, Freedom Leisure Partnership Manager commented about the new sessions, “We are delighted to add Ch Chi Fit to our already packed programme of innovative and exciting fitness classes the whole community can enjoy.
“We’d like to thank Active Cotswold for their funding, an excellent example of our partnership working in Cotswolds and we’d encourage as many people as possible to make a visit to Cirencester and Bourton soon to benefit their health and wellbeing and try something new.”
