I googled ‘fitness classes Shoreditch’ nearly knowing what to expect and discovered the Frame website. Frame is an untraditional style of gym which involve having lots, and lots, and a lot of very interesting and creative sounding exercise classes. Although membership is an option, I chose to pay as you go.

No dedication required whatsoever, actually pay and go just. I booked my class online in advance. Cost is between £6-£18 a session, depending on what you are doing, how long you are doing it for and be it peak or off maximum. My 45-minute maximum time Dancefit session cost £10. Having a look through I used to be seriously impressed and sensed vaguely giddy – 80’s aerobics?

How to dance in music videos? I needed to find my exercise spiritual home. I used to be also impressed that everything was so reservation was quick and easy online. I deliberated for about 45 minutes over what to pick – Commercial Hip Hop? I would be a first timer – Dance fit. Week I was really anxious about heading to the class All. The frame is actually under the arches of the railway bridge and screams “SHOREDITCH”. I joined the reception and was a strike by the fact that everyone working there appeared as if they’d been flown over specifically from Hollywood with the objective; shiny locks, great nails, the works.

The changing rooms were good; quite busy but it was fairly peak time while I went and still enough space for everyone to get changed. You take your bag into the studio room with you so you don’t need to worry about lockers etc which is fantastic. As I waited outside the studio room to be called set for our course I felt horribly ill and nervous. Everyone also waiting was about 6ft 5 and a size 4 and a complete lot of them got American accents.

• 1 cut Swiss Cheese
• Run for 30 seconds
• Treat Yo’ Self
• Do your endurance levels fulfill your fitness initiatives
• Granulated Sugar – 2 tsp

They all looked like they worked out all the time and I really was worried I was going to show myself up. My nerves weren’t calmed when our instructor resulted in, especially as she got abs that would have put Jillian Michaels to shame. When we all were in the studio room and the other folks resulted in my nerves were calmed a bit.

For three supermodels in galaxy printing leggings there was at least one person who looked vaguely normal and like I possibly could empathize with them, so I decided to hit it hard. There have been no men in any way – it was all women, and ages were mixed from I’d say about 17-35. A lot of people appeared to be in their twenties therefore I felt like the right demographic.

No one else there was there with friends (as much as I can inform) so I didn’t feel just like a freak for being on my own. Dancefit the course itself was hard. There is no explicit warm up and cool – it was all incorporated into our routine down. It was virtually like aerobics but with routines you had to keep in mind and the odd random shimmy.
