Dancehall Fit Testimonials
Discovering Dancehall Fit started a whole new chapter in my life. At a time when I was navigating the murky waters of postpartum depression, Dancehall Fit was my beacon of hope. It wasn't just a workout, but a lifesaver - my go-to remedy for happiness and a stress-buster like no other. Starting to move my body again was a breath of fresh air. It was a moment of liberation from my struggles, where I could focus on just one thing – me. For that one hour, it was as if the world paused and all that mattered was the rhythm and the beat. Post each session, I felt lighter – like someone had lifted a massive weight off my shoulders. It was empowering, invigorating, and uplifting all at the same time. Dancehall Fit has been my game-changer. It sparked the beginning of my fitness journey and played a monumental role in overcoming my postpartum depression. I'm incredibly grateful for the strength it has given me, both mentally and physically. If you're looking for a fun, energizing workout that also doubles as a mood-lifter, I wholeheartedly recommend Dancehall Fit. It's so much more than just a workout. It's therapy, self-care, and happiness, all rolled into one fantastic package.

I absolutely love Dancehall Fit! I’ve approached the empty nest stage in my life recently and wanted to get out of the house and try something new. I found Chinyere’s classes and now I’m hooked! It’s so fun, everyone is wonderful, and it’s totally ok that my dancing skills are less than good! So many opportunities to laugh and have fun while getting into shape!

I've been participating in Dancehall Fit classes for past six (6) months which has been attributing to my weight loss and self-wellness. I have been on for the past year. Chinyere and the class bring such an enjoyment to fitness. Her smile lights up the class as well as her motivation she drives health and fitness. It's a no judgement environment and allows you to meet and make new friends and connections while enjoying dancehall, soca, afrobeats all at the same time. The vibes the class brings are unmatched with others I've tried or even a typical gym membership. Dancehall Fit has really built my confidence as well as I begin to see the difference in my weight loss and toning of my figure. I especially appreciate the scheduling available to attend the class and location and not to add the affordability. Thank you so much Chinyere for bringing Dancehall Fit to our community and especially into my life. Appreciate you and all that you're doing to drive and motivate health and wellness with a Caribbean vibe.

I had the opportunity to assist at Dancehall Fit training and it was so much fun. The owner instructor is so talented, energetic, and committed to make one feel special. Upbeat music transported me to the Caribbean and for me being an immigrant was the best part. I recommend it!

I love going to Chinyere class. She is so energetic, positive and full of joy. She makes people from all ages and ethnicities feel welcome and free. I like how she gives advice and has structure but lets others move in their own light. I’d recommend this class to everyone. We can express ourselves through dance but also get a great core workout. It’s a good time and good for your health too! Do yourself a favor and try this class out!

I saw a flyer for DanceHall Fit with Chinyere Sam and since my doctor told me I needed more exercise I decided to try it. Little did I know what a difference this class would make in my life. Not only did I get more exercise, but it gave me more energy, a reason to get up and move, it improved my balance, I made new friends, I have more flexibility at 70 than I thought was possible and to top it all off I lost 8 pounds. This is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time.

I had such an amazing experience. The energy and the vibe was everything. The instructor had so much energy and gave out modifications if something was hard to do. I burned so many calories and had such a great time!! Definitely doing it again!

I attend her Caribbean Dance class faithfully every Friday at the Dedicated Senior Medical Center in Lakeland Florida. Chinyere leads the class with tons of energy and enthusiasm every class. She not only teaches the class but makes sure all participants do the exercises & dances correctly by walking through the class and checking each person for proper movements. If someone has a medical condition - Chinyere helps them participate to the best of their ability. Chinyere picks upbeat and fun music for every class. Her classes vary each week which makes it interesting & enjoyable. Chinyere's constant encouragement & passion rubs off on all participants. We all have fun while working up a sweat & getting great exercise & improving our health!! I must also admit- that in my younger days I attended many many aerobic and Zumba classes. Chinyere Sam is definitely one of the best aerobic/dance teachers I have ever encountered, she keeps us all working hard & wanting more. I cannot recommend her enough!! I love her class & look forward to participating each Friday. If the class would be given more than once a week, I would attend every class. Honestly, being on Medicare I have a choice of many primary care doctors & clinics. Having Chinyere Sam & her Caribbean Dance class at Dedicated Senior Medical Center is a big plus to encourage me to stay at their clinic.

My name is Shirley W. One day I was strolling down Facebook and saw that a Fitness Class for Seniors had started in our City. I made a comment, loved it and left the page. Out of all the comments made, I was the one who was "called out". The lady said, "Shirley come join us". I did go to the (Fit Spot), Carver Recreation Class and found out that I needed a lot of help. I was sore for three days, but then I noticed I could bend down better. The second class bothered my sciatica and it had me frustrated because I could not do the rotating motion. Our Instructor, Ms. Chinyere is a God send, because she pays attention to each of us and will come and stand by you with that Angelic smile, until you are comfortable to go on, while encouraging on one motion. I found out that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me".
Phillipians 4:13. I love being a part of Ms. Chinyere's class because she loves what she does and cares how "We The Seniors Feel". Try it for yourself, you will be glad you did. I am feeling better because, "I CAN DO IT, WOOHOO ". Hebrews 12:12-13 Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Hello people, Dancing, working out and being healthy and happy is my priority.
My husband and I loved to dance. 24 wonderful years together. He started feeling weak, went to the Doctor and found out cancer was stage 4. Three months after that he was gone. My life changed just one hundred percent!! After a long trip, my therapist recommended me to go back with my work outs, it was so hard to go back. But my lovely husband wanted me to continue with my life. I started attending fusion class. After that, Florida Blue sent me an email about Dancehall Fit. Right away I got excited. This class is so amazing, keeping my mind busy. I am doing my dancing again!!!! I am feeling better and better. I am healing with music, good energy and laughing.
Thank you so much Chinyere for helping me!!!

Dancing doesn’t tire me out at all even now in my Senior years. So enjoying myself with Chinyere and Dancehall Fit plus getting all the movement I need is absolutely my kind of workout to make me “feel like I want to feel”.
