Why Dancercise Is the Feel-Good Class You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’re over 55 and looking for a way to stay fit without setting foot in a gym, Jim’s Gym offers live online classes you can do from home—including fitness, Tai Chi, and Yoga. And now, you can add Dancercise to your weekly routine too.
It’s all about helping you build a fitness regime that works for you—one that keeps you strong, mobile, and feeling good, without any pressure or fuss.
If you’ve found exercise hard to stick to, or you’re simply bored of the usual stuff, Dancercise might be exactly what you need.
Starting this Friday at 10:30 AM, Jim’s Gym members will be able to join Dancercise with Anna Wicks—a brand-new live class that’s designed to make fitness feel like fun again.
It’s easy to follow.
There’s no pressure to perform.
And it’s built around music, movement, and feeling good.
Meet Anna
Anna trained as a professional dancer and worked in musical theatre before creating her own Dancercise classes. For the past three years, she’s been teaching weekly at Riverside Studios in London—often to sold-out groups.
Here’s what she says about her classes:
“There’s no comparison, no competing—just dancing because it’s great for the soul.”
Her energy is contagious.
Her playlists are brilliant.
And her classes are full of people who want to move, enjoy themselves, and stay active in a way that works for them.
Why Dancercise Works
You don’t need to be coordinated.
You don’t need a background in dance.
You don’t even need to get all the steps right.
You just need to show up and keep moving.
Here’s what makes it such a great option for older adults:
Cardio that doesn’t feel like hard work
You’ll get your heart rate up and blood flowing—but because it’s set to music, it feels more like fun than fitness.
Helps with coordination and balance
Dancercise challenges your body in different directions, which is great for balance and building body awareness.
Keeps your brain sharp
Following movement patterns and reacting to music supports memory and brain function.
It lifts your mood
Music + movement + no pressure = a big boost to mental health.
What to Expect
A 40-minute, live online class every Friday at 10:30 AM
A supportive, no-judgement space
Simple routines anyone can follow
Great music, laughter, and a real feel-good finish to your week
Replay available in the members' area if you can’t make it live
You’ll move, you’ll sweat a little, and you’ll probably finish with a smile on your face.
