TANIA PERRY
Tania has been in the fitness industry her whole life. After working for Derby City Council teaching fitness classes for 20 years I made the leap to go self employed a few years ago.
I now teach my own classes in the community, I still feel very passionate about teaching and used to work with Sarah at Derby City Council and she introduced me to Let’s Get Active years ago and in 2022 I decided to work with Sarah again but this time for Let's Ge Active.
It's very rewarding going to the Care Environment and engaging with the people makes my day and I feel like I am helping others.
SARAH WATKINS
Dancing is my passion and I love to keep active and fit, so when I discovered Dancefit it was a perfect combination!
I have been leading Dancefit classes since 2011 and absolutely love it. I decided in 2021 to gain the Level 4 in Postural Stability and now teach these classes across Derbyshire.
Whether you're 5 years old or 85 years old there is a exercise routine for you!
