A New Lease of Life Thanks to Pentwyn Leisure Centre 

Meet Jackie ,

Jackie attends Pentwyn Leisure Centre twice a week, taking part in our Get Moving and Zumba classes.

She joined us six months ago and, in that time, has grown in confidence and rediscovered her love for life.

Jackie shared her story:

“I lost my husband of 52 years, and I felt completely lost. I had lost a lot of joy and happiness in my life, and it was a very hard time for me.

One day, I was speaking to a lady at a bus stop who told me about a class called Get Moving. She spoke about how fantastic it was, how friendly everyone was, and how helpful both the staff and customers are.

After that lovely conversation with a stranger, I decided to come down and learn more about the class. My sister came with me on a Tuesday, and it was the best thing we had ever done. The team were so welcoming.”

Since then, Jackie has even ventured into trying new classes, including Zumba;

“I’m not that good at it, but me and the girls love dancing! Michalina, the Zumba instructor, is so fun and full of energy.

So don’t worry if you think you have two left feet come on down and try it for yourself. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!”

If you’re feeling on your own, come and join us at Pentwyn Leisure Centre today. Our team is here, ready to welcome you with a smile. Pentwyn is gently coming back to life… once quiet spaces are now filling with new, friendly faces and a real sense of community.
