A NEW fitness class has moved from the Dragons’ Den to a fitness class in Darlington.

Angeline Keightley is starting to teach her uplifting cardio workout, which is inspired by Vintage vibes and Street Dances, at the Education Village next month.

SwingTrain uses swing, gospel, rhythm & blues and jazz to inspire people to get into shape.

She said: “We’ll be fostering friendships as well as fitness at the Education Village in Darlington SwingTrain sessions. The music and atmosphere is designed to be supportive and uplifting, so that participants won’t even realise they’re burning up to 500 calories an hour because they’re smiling so much.

“The best thing about SwingTrain is that it’s accessible to everyone, no matter their age, fitness levels or abilities. We will always warmly welcome absolute beginners to fitness. All that’s required is a desire for a positive experience.”

The fitness regime has been developed by Scott Cupit, the award winning dance teacher and entrepreneur whose pitch for Swing Patrol – the dance school and events company – secured investment on BBC Dragons’ Den.

SwingTrain, which is launching under the guidance of investor Deborah Meaden, takes place on Wednesdays from June 14.
