Islington Gazette reporter, Zoe Paskett, came along to SwingTrainer Caitlin‘s class in Islington.

All our trainers aim to create a community feel in their classes and Caitlin succeeds in making everyone feel welcome.

“Accessibility wise, [Caitlin’s] right – this class has participants from teens to 30-somethings to 50-somethings, some of whom have swung before (not that kind), but many who haven’t.”

But the fun and community don’t make it any less of a workout. Here’s what Zoe had to say about the exercise part:

“It’s hard and it’s fast and there’s not a lot of time to get your breath back. But the smiling part is completely true; it is unbelievably fun and the tunes keep you from wanting to collapse.”

But by far our favourite quote was this:

“Caitlin is upbeat and encouraging, but in an authentic sort of way rather than a toddler-on-speed sort of way.”

Well done Caitlin! Read the full article here or here.

You can join the fun of Caitlin’s class every Saturday 11.45am (except the last one of each month) at the Walter Sickert Community Centre, Islington.
