Does anyone know of any, or know of anyone possibility interested in leading a strictly plus size workout / dance class?  
 
As someone who is plus size and not in the best of shape, it’s intimidating going to workout and being surrounded by super fit people.  
 
I think it could be a successful venture for anyone willing to take it on.  
 
 
ps - keep unnecessary, rude comments to yourself.

That would be a great idea .

I’m sure there is a demand for this. I’ll be watching this thread.

I run a group class for older adults of all shapes and sizes Wednesdays 9:30-10:30am in Brandon. Message me for more info 204-402-0242. Class is called Movement 101.

I know someone who runs a Zumba class for all shapes, sizes and ages. Many from 30s to senior and a wide range of sizes and abilities. They just go at here own individual pace. Do what you can when you can. PM me if you want info.

I go to the Ymca

I can see this being an issue just based on a few things. Who deems what is classified as "plus sized"? The open can of worms probably wouldn't be worth it for whoever tries to run the class, unless of course it was also run by a plus sized woman to avoid that.  
 
Please don't take this is rudeness, just a thought as to why classes like these don't really exist. It wouldn't be as bad as saying "physically fit people only", but still could lead to a headache for someone.

Hi! I am a Zumba instructor. I currently teach at the YMCA. If the gym atmosphere is not comfortable for you I can help. The City of Brandon will be offering Zumba Gold (easy to follow) and Gentle fit classes this spring that I will be instructing. If days/times are not suitable, I could possibly work out a program if there is enough interest.
