Sam’s Studio on Commercial Road in Hawick has been celebrating 14 years of operation this week—time really does fly!
I’ve been teaching fitness for just over 30 years, and after moving to Spain in 2008, I discovered my passion for Zumba whilst teaching fitness and Pilates classes. I am not a gym bunny, but I truly enjoy the community aspect of group classes. When I returned home in July 2010, I worked hard for six weeks to turn my dream into reality, and that’s how Sam’s Studio came to life. I still teach Zumba weekly, and it remains a favorite of mine—it’s like exercising in disguise, dancing to fantastic music without realizing you’re working out! Alongside Zumba, I offer various other classes as well and am very passionate about Pilates.
A couple of years ago, I launched the Online Fit Club, providing express workouts for 40+ right at your fingertips. Last year, I took it a step further by launching my website at www.samdeansfit.com and am developing the whole site.
Located in the centre of Hawick, the studio features a fantastic sprung floor, is bright and airy, and overlooks the river. Our classes foster a friendly atmosphere and emphasize fun in fitness. I feel incredibly fortunate to love what I do and to be able to help others.
