“Everybody seems to have someone in their life that is getting them stressed out and it’s just a way of getting rid of all of that frustration and feeling relieved and brilliant afterwards.

“It builds confidence and I really wanted to bring this into the community. 

“I’ve had people hooked already, it’s quite an addictive class.
