FUNFIT classes with Peter Stennett are held at Benenden Village Hall on Tuesday mornings (09:30 – 10:30).

Workouts are suitable for all levels and designed to be fun and engaging whilst developing agility, balance, co-ordination and strength. 

FUNFIT classes are different from many of the other fitness classes available elsewhere. Rather than using expensive and complicated gym equipment, we use a range of individual equipment to ensure you have fun while increasing your skills and fitness. 

We will introduce you to new exercises and equipment including:

  • flexibility testing;
  • balance bars;
  • solo jumpers;
  • ankle skippers;
  • digital ropes;
  • juggling;
  • speed stacking;
  • speed bounce.

We are able to offer reasonably priced classes without the expense of a traditional monthly gym membership.

Prices start at just £5.00 per class with the first class being free.

FEEDBACK

Since starting the classes at Benenden Village Hall, the following feedback has been received from one of our students:

Wow, what can I say! I went along this Tuesday not knowing what to expect and came away feeling energised, empowered and excited about this fantastic exercise class with a range of excellent facilities. Peter is a mind of information when it comes to fitness of all levels and took myself and those able to make the session through a series of fun activities helping us to gain confidence and goals to aim for. I will absolutely be attending future sessions and look forward to meeting others there too. Don’t be shy – I can promise you will absolutely love it.
