Curve-Fit

FUN EXERCISE CLASSES FOR ALL SHAPES AND FITNESS LEVELS.

Curve-Fit is run by two fitpros whose primary objective is to help everyone love and embrace their own individualities. We aim to take the focus away from the number whether it be age, weight or dress size and to encourage a “healthy at every size” mentality.

We promise to provide a supportive, all inclusive, ego-free environment in all of our classes and ultimately hope that you will leave the class with a smile. All of our programmes are designed to release stress, be fun filled and most importantly (in our opinion) to promote body confidence.

So whether you want to dance your way around the globe in Zumba, fight your way through 45 minutes of combat or strengthen and tone in our Ree balance classes then we’ve got the class for you. Classes take place at Harris Academy Falconwood, The Green, Welling DA16 2PE.
