The person in the room
Richelle, and the women who train with her
Richelle started dancing as a child and has been in fitness since 2005. She is a qualified instructor and a line-dancing coach. The classes are built around that mix: structure when you need a cue, and enough music that the hour does not feel like a lecture.
Fun Fitness classes are women-only. Sheena assists, encouraging people through the session and helping the room feel looked after. Ages range widely. The standard is that you do what you can on the day.
How the classes feel
- You are welcomed on the first day. There is no initiation lap.
- Every level is coached in the same room, with a simpler option when you need it.
- The month changes so the work does not go stale.
- Nutrition chats sit beside the training. They are practical, not a clinic. Read the short note on the nutrition page.
Short notes from members
These are shortened from longer comments women have shared. They are here so a new person can hear the tone of the room.
“Nine years in, including through the Covid years. She stays for the range of classes, and because Richelle keeps showing up for the group.”
Sam
“Joined after having a baby and kept coming for nearly four years. The room feels welcoming, and she can arrive as she is.”
Michelle
“Joined in August 2025 for the energy. The support from the group, and from Richelle, is what she tells other people about.”
Nina
“Started in 2022 after a long gap from structured exercise. Variety kept her returning, and yoga is still the class she likes most.”
Marina
“Six months in, the strength work had started to show up in her running. The classes stay challenging and still feel like fun.”
Kelly
“Chose the women-only room on purpose. Richelle leads, Sheena encourages, and she is reminded to go at her own pace.”
