Strolling into a new future...

Denise spent most of her working life in offices, carrying out secretarial and administration duties for various companies in London, and, later on, more locally.

​

Prior to joining Strollercise Denise she held a local admin role, and still does but she has cut her hours down to just 2 days a week and is looking to leave completely, in the not too distant future.

​

Denise was already attending the Strollercise classes in her area so when they announced they were franchising the business she jumped at the chance to become a franchise owner. She says: “I love Strollercise and knew this was what I wanted to do. What better way is there than to work doing something you love; every class is different; every person is different - I just love it!”

​

So why did she choose this franchise over others that are available?
Denise explains that: “Strollercise is quite simply great; there isn’t another franchise like it. It's something I love being involved in as a class member, as well as teaching it. If I'm honest it doesn't feel like a job! Its confidence building, its fun, plus it keeps me fit and motivated.”

What makes it even more special for Denise is that her son and husband are behind her 100%. “They will help me when needed, and they are happy to help out with the music and anything I ask of them.”

​

Denise adds that: “Sam and Steve (franchisors) have been excellent. If I have any questions she will always be there for me. I am still in my first year so its great to have the support they provide.”

​

What challenges has Denise faced while getting to know the Strollercise business?:
Denise has not found going into business with Strollercise that stressful at all but she does say : “Its important not to get disheartened when you start a new class and only a few people turn up as they do grow very quickly.

​

“I love seeing people meet and form new friendships;  I met my own husband, Don, through Strollercise!

​

“My biggest high so far was my first party - watching everyone stroll, knowing I had taught them.”

​

Although Denise is still in her first year she is working hard to get Strollercise known in her exclusive franchise area; planning on having more classes; encouraging more people to join, and seeing more friendships formed.

​

What would Denise’s advice be to someone thinking of joining Strollercise? “It's a fantastic move – you do have to put in the effort, but then you reap the rewards.”
