Members of the community during an aerobics session at Sam Hlalele Community Hall.

Professional dancer and fitness instructor Tebogo Malunga offers aerobics classes for youth, adults and veterans at Sam Hlalele Community Hall next to Tembisa Plaza from Monday to Thursday.

The classes are held from 5pm to 6pm.

Malunga, the founder of Bodycom Fitness Club, started the aerobics classes in an effort to help locals keep fit and lose weight.

He said his club strives to encourage members of the community, churches and schools to live a healthy lifestyle through exercising and eating healthy.

Malunga said he started the club in 2014, hoping to change lives in the community by fighting drugs, alcohol and chronic diseases.

I enjoy giving lessons to the community and most people who come and join us push themselves hard to get used to the idea of exercising. Eventually they make it a point not to miss a session. I am proud of them because they give me courage and they are eager to try new routines, said Malunga.

Malunga is encouraging locals to join the class, as he says staying active is vital.

Regular exercise helps seniors with blood circulation, mental health and physical strength, especially as they are more prone to get diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as obesity. Keeping fit should be part of everyones daily routine. I encourage people to eat healthy as this also plays a major role in physical health, added Mr Malunga.

Bodycom Fitness Club is targeting young people from 18 to 35 years, adults and elderly people.
