Angie, 62 from Harray
I've been going to Donna's classes regularly since Jan 22. I've managed to get my fitness back and lose some weight too. I love the variety of classes that Donna provides and I've never enjoyed fitness so much. Donna's classes are so much fun. Fitness is certainly not a chore with the ODAF Crew.
Jocelyn, 22 from Kirkwall
I'm really new to Orkney Dance and Fitness but I knew from the first walk I did with Donna joining would be a great choice. I was really nervous about doing any exercise classes but everyone at ODAF is incredibly welcoming and inclusive. Getting fit really can be so much fun, with all the dancing and laughing that happens at the classes you almost forget its a workout. If you want to have a laugh, be supported, make friends and get fit, Orkney Dance and Fitness is the place to be!
Armida, 61 from Tankerness
