FITNESS TESTIMONIALS
KELSEY MEARS
"Such a great first class. What a lovely way to keep fit, everyone was so welcoming. Thank you Leanne."
LOUISE ROBERTSON
"This is such a lovely friendly group. I was so worried when I first went along but needn't have been. I find fitness classes so intimidating usually. Leanne was friendly and welcoming. I was made to feel comfortable and at ease and I have not looked back. I love the classes. The energy is intoxicating and the hour flies by. If anyone is concerned about attending, don't be. Just pop along and you'll get the same welcome and will soon be going week after week."
LAUREN
"This is the first class I've been to where I've had a genuine welcome. I literally did not need to feel self conscious like I do in other classes. Leanne takes the time to get to know you and that's nice. Usually people just take your money and that's it."
KIRSTY
"I have a gym membership elsewhere better attend the circuit classes . If I have to use three words to describe them, it would be fun, ouch and challenging.
These classes really work you. Your muscles will be on fire. I love them!
These women go above and beyond to make the workouts fun, competitive and effective.
I’d now consider myself an NF Addict."
ELAINE (AGED 74)
"I have been taking part in the Low Impact Classes for the last six weeks. I have been fortunate to attend one of the funded community classes.
Leanne is very patient, her teaching methods are second to none. I have two left feet and she has even managed to teach me the routines. I consider myself to be a golden oldie, but these classes have given me a new lease of life.
I love Mondays and Fridays, I have so much fun and feel alive. My fitness levels have increased even at my age and I do a lot more walking when I’m not in classes which I never did before. Leanne is amazing at motivating you. I’d like to thank her for giving me a bit of my life back."
SAM (AGED 92)
"At 92 years of age I walked into one of the funded Low Impact Classes. I was sat outside having a cup of tea tapping my foot along to the music when I was invited to join in. I went in and found myself dancing along to some golden oldies while someone to the side of me banged on a tambourine keeping us all in time and adding to the fun. I hadn’t moved like that or smiled like that since my wife passed away.
It really uplifted me. I’d like to thank this instructor for not forgetting about us oldies. These classes give us a lease of life."
NICOLA JOYCE
"I feel sassy and sexy again"
"I started my NF fitness journey in May 2023 when a friend asked me to join her in a class. At that point I hadn't done any exercise for a while my weight had crept up and my confidence in my body was not good. I avoided nights out, buying new clothes and looking in the mirror.
NF Fitness changed all that. I immediately loved the classes, the members were friendly and welcoming and the instructors were supportive encouraging and completely bonkers. Nine months later I live for class.
I'm happy with my weight again, love shopping and the mirror is no longer the enemy. I feel sassy and sexy again and love busting my moves in class every week. I have more energy feel more motivated and my overall well-being is better than it has been for 10 years.
I have also gained a friendship group that is strong and empowering. We laugh, joke, listen and support each other week in week out. Best thing I ever did for myself was walk through the doors of NF Fitness. Everyone needs that safe space to be themselves and feel themselves with no judgement."
MEL
"I was looking for something, I wasn’t quite sure what. The thought of going into a gym made me feel physically sick. I tried Zumba and Beats and couldn’t keep up. I felt so stupid. I knew I was unfit at the time, but these classes had a negative impact on my mental health. I joined these classes after a recommendation from my friend. I had a great welcome, there was no judgement. I had fun. Lots of sweaty fun which didn’t feel like exercise.
I found friendship, support and I just love the atmosphere. The instructor is bonkers just a normal every day woman helping others. I have more confidence now and she even helps me with my mental health. That is someone who genuinely cares and sees the link between mental and physical health. She’s taught me that I’m enough and to stop worrying about what others think. I am slowly learning to love myself again."
ELLEN
"Welcoming, inclusive, energetic and vibrant classes. You feel revived after each session. Beats going to the gym any day!"
JULIE
Weighing in at 23 stone. I joined Leanne’s class with a lot of my friends. I’m quite a mad person outwardly but inside the self-hate is there, especially when I look at myself in the mirror. I disgusted myself, but hid behind my big personality.
These classes gave me a break from my busy life and got me moving again. They are so much fun and you can really let yourself go. I could be 100% myself including showing the instructor my vulnerable side. I got support, help and a friend, all in one.
My joints no longer hurt and I have more mobility. Don’t get me wrong. I’m hardly a size 10, but I’m moving in now more than ever and happier in myself. I still don’t like looking at myself naked and doubt I either will at 53 because a lot of my body parts have gone south , but that’s age for you.
What matters is how I now feel inside. Happier, healthier, and able to truly be myself.
SHARON
"You really do feel part of something in these classes."
"I started classes last year as one of the older ladies, as you would say. I had trouble with my knees and hips and my mobility was next to 0.
​
I had an amazing welcome into classes and never felt anything other than belonging. I enjoyed the routines and the music and the instructor was amazing with me. She spent time aside of classes helping me with stretches which improved my mobility.
After just a short few months, I had no pain, my mobility had increased to the point that I could even get onto the floor and bust some moves."
You really do feel part of something in these classes.
We have a social element too and it was great to be able to attend the Welsh fitness awards with some of the girls to watch the amazing win and recognition for the best fitness class.
​
These classes and ladies make my week. They are my "me" time and I love it, every single thing about it.
​
Don’t be afraid to go on your own, I did, and it’s the best thing ever."
DAWN
"These women are so much fun and the classes are lovely. It’s such a nice way to exercise. You don’t feel self-conscious and you instantly get made to feel part of such a lovely community.
I don’t have much family here, but this has created that family support environment that I needed. I will never miss a class."
DEBBIE
"I’ve never been keen on group fitness classes. I’ve been more of a gym bunny. The girls in some of the gym classes can be so intimidating. I went along to my first NF Class with a friend and was made welcome immediately. By the time I left my second class I felt like I'd known Leanne a lifetime.
The routines are easy to follow but to get you so sweaty and the music is suitable for everyone. I don’t bother hitting the treadmill now these classes are my new thing."
SIMONE
"Nobody judged each other, everyone was welcoming, smiling and most importantly having a blast!"
"In September 2023 I decided that it was time to start including some exercise into my lifestyle change as I wanted my body to change in a healthier way! I thought about what I wanted to do.
A friend advised me to consider a workout class as this would be more affective for working all areas of your body. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do as exercise has never been something I enjoyed, in fact quite the opposite and so I always struggled to maintain the momentum, with the longest I had ever maintained going to a gym was 3 months for example!
Donna had previously mentioned that one of her friends (Leanne Griffiths) had started a dance fitness class/business. I had not mentally taken this on board previously but then one day she mentioned it again and it just went off like a light bulb in my mind, right place, right time! I took to Facebook and stalked out their page and found out it was called ‘No Fks Fitness’, this seemed to be right up my street! They were promoting self-love and self-empowerment and their fun approach and no fks attitude to fitness sparked my interest!
Two days later I was dancing in their class! I LOVED IT! I felt that I was utterly rubbish at first but it didn’t matter! Nobody judged each other, everyone was welcoming, smiling and most importantly having a blast! It was a class full of real women who had such an amazing vibe!
Ever since then I have never missed a class and have encouraged others to also attend! I have made new friends and have found the instructors very inspiring and encouraging so much so that I have decided to follow a new path into training for the accreditation to become one of their Instructors!
Who would have thought it, the exercise shy, big girl was even considering to even try this? Never mind actually doing it! But here I am all signed up, feeling the fear and doing it anyway! Let’s smash it girls! With such an amazing, award winning, encouraging and supportive team of strong influential women, honestly who would not want to join them on their fitness journey to take over the world!!
JAYNE
"I recently attended a class with a friend, she had been raving about it . I absolutely love it! The music is amazing, the instructors are absolutely bonkers and the vibe in class is something else. It’s so much fun and empowering. I’ve had trouble with my back for years, but after just three classes, I’m feeling so much better
I have a really demanding job and my stress load is unreal. I’ve not danced for many years now, but I’ve been drawn back into the world of dance, thanks to these lovely classes and the amazing women that run them. They seem to spot if you have a down day and sure as hell the next morning you can guarantee you will wake up to a heart-warming message or a phone call. These guys really care. You don’t get that anywhere else."
WENDY
"I love Leanne’s messages . Such an amazing person and this is reflected in the classes which are for fun.
I am excited to watch this business grow because she and her team work so hard. I love the classes and everything else that comes with it."
JULIE
"Bonkers crazy. These classes are like a comedy sketch show sometimes and the amount of fun people have is fantastic.
​
Don’t worry about being new or having 57-year-old knees, because these instructors look after you like no one else.
It’s a lovely environment full of positivity."

KELLY
"These classes have not only been good for my body, my mindset has improved SO much! Hard to believe I was that shy mouse in the back row once! Big love and huge thanks for this amazing, empowering group."
