Testimonials

Sometimes it’s better to get an insight from actual customers….

Here’s what some of my class attendees (online / 1-2-1/ group sessions) had to say!

If any of my other class participants wish to submit a testimonial please email me on info@totaldanceandfitness.co.uk

Joy Dunn:

I’ve been dancing on and off with Nancy for nearly 10 years. I love it! Now that Nancy has taken her classes online I can do the classes whenever I like. The content that Nancy has produced in the 9 weeks that we have been in lockdown has to be seen to be believed. I’m not sure when she has time for anything else!. There is something for everyone. I love Zumba and I’m not sure that I will find anything to rival that, but Nancy has got me to enjoy her insanity classes too. She does them in shorter versions with modifications that make you still feel like you’ve worked out , and the more I do, the more I can see the improvement in what I am able to do. Nancy Lucas is natural in front of the camera, she makes me laugh even while I’m yelling at her for making me work so hard. Nancy is definitely worth having in my front room! Xx

Catherine Bagnall:

I have been dancing away at Nancy’s classes for 9 and a half years. It is the only exercise I’ve ever maintained. The reason I’ve kept going is Nancy’s enthusiasm, sense of humour and energy… it’s hugely motivating and fun. People often say they’ve tried Zumba, I always say you’ve not done Zumba unless you’ve done Nancy’s Zumba…. 600 calories burnt per class whilst smiling! Intense but so satisfying when you’ve completed a class. That still continues in lock down, I’m still smiling, still sweating and still trying to keep up. Thanks Nancy x

Carol Beattie:

I used to attend Nancy’s classes many years ago until I moved away. I loved her classes and never found an instructor who’s classes I enjoyed as much. So I was really happy to see she was online over lockdown and I signed up… I then asked her directly to create a 1-2-1 program for me. I wanted to tone my arms but I hate floor work. I also wanted to shift a few pounds. We chatted and emailed and then I was sent 3 classes made just for me. It was brilliant. I did them over and over for 2 weeks and then got 3 more. I loved it. I will keep going the classes I have plus I will keep getting more when I feel I want some variation. There’s so many options and I managed to shift 4lbs!!!! Thank you for being a personal virtual trainer!

Pauline Higgins:

I started Zumba about 9 years ago after my friend Tracy told me about it. The first class I thought what am I doing but ok let’s give this ago and I have been doing zumba ever since. I have met some wonderful people and make some lovely friends but most important I am fitter than I have ever been and that’s down to TotalDance Zumba Leeds. Zumba is the only exercise I have stuck at and will continue doing even in lockdown thanks to Nancy’s hard work and determination. Missing everyone and can’t wait to get back into class but in the meantime will continue dancing in my kitchen 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Sheila Morgan:

Along with a group of friends I’ve been enjoying Zumba with Nancy Lucas and TotalDance Zumba Leeds for 10 years this July, I’m not sure how she does it, she keeps her classes fresh and up to date, keeping our Zumba community engaged, enthusiastic and thirsty for more, we dance, we perspire, we laugh but most of all we thoroughly enjoy ourselves. So If you fancy some fun whilst working up a sweat come and join us at various locations in Horsforth, Rawdon and Bramhope

Janet Deveney:

I started Zumba classes with Nancy around 9 years ago after my daughter suggested I might like it. I loved it and still do, by far the best and most enjoyable exercise I have ever done, also Nancy is the best and most inspirational person. Her classes before lockdown were great and everyone is very friendly, even though I am by far one of the oldest, I don’t feel awkward or embarrassed. Zumba is definitely great for any age. Since the lockdown Nancy’s on line classes have been wonderful, varied, entertaining, amusing and lots of them. I cannot praise Nancy highly enough for her commitment and enthusiasm and hard work. Loving the online but also cannot wait to get back to classes in the flesh (so to speak). xx

Janet Smith:

I started Zumba classes a few years ago having been introduced by my friend Jane, from that very first class I was hooked. A couple of years in I was tempted to try Insanity, it blew me away, took me to a whole new level of fitness I didn’t know I had! Nancy is a phenomenal instructor, both motivational and inspirational. Everyone at Class is committed, we motivate each other and have fun along the way. I have introduced my husband and his best mate to Insanity & they both love it. From the very start of the COVID19 outbreak, Nancy immediately took her Classes online, embracing all the technological challenges along the way! The programme available is outstanding, not just Zumba and Insanity, but lots of new variety that is keeping us all challenged, for a extremely reasonable monthly amount – plus there are live classes every week and a pay as you go option for those who haven’t committed to a monthly subscription. I have started many fitness programmes over the years, including a couple of ‘celebrity’ options….never have I felt as committted, fulfilled, fit and energised as I do by Nancy’s classes, and the fact that she’s keeping so many of us going during these unprecedented times demonstrates that she’s an absolute credit to her profession and I’ll be forever grateful for my first introduction

Chris Lockwood:

The best way to promote a hard working business is to engage customers so word of mouth spreads positively – Here’s my story for Total Dance TotalDance Zumba Leeds. 2 years ago at the age of 48 I’d starting getting lazy and de motivated after finishing football at all levels at 45. The 9-5 ,kids , not so well parents any excuse not to push myself , Nancy Lucas classes were recommended to get me back in shape , 2 years later I still get the buzz after every Insanity work out . You want to know why ….. The classes are well thought out , give you the opportunity to push as much as you want but as Nancy is so committed and understands the standards we can achieve she pushes without making you feel inferior . The comaradarie and humour that is built in every class means you want to keep going back for more . I hav’nt looked back . Highly recommend totaldance Zumba for all your fitness needs

Rachal Ross:

When we moved into lockdown I was a little worried that I wouldn’t keep up with my regular Zumba classes because I would miss the buzz of the group sessions. 9 weeks on and I’ve barely missed a day, Nancy has worked so hard to constantly update and add new routines and different types of exercise classes that before lockdown I would never have tried. Nancy has given us shorter sessions which are great to fit around the kids schooling and working from home or can be added together to make a full hour, on a weekend I’ve enjoyed having the time for a full hour and trying out new options (the cardio yoga is a killer). There’s even some routines to get the kids active Thanks so much TotalDance Zumba Leeds for getting us through this difficult time and keeping me focused on my exercise routine, I miss the regular classes but really hope we can keep a mixture of real and virtual sessions going forward.
