Welcome to Feel Good with Charley!

Hi! I'm Charley! Welcome to Feel Good with Charley!
If you've been with me for a while, you might know me as Zumba with Charley! But after realising we had grown something more than just our Zumba classes, I decided to make a change! Whilst dance fitness and Zumba is still at the heart of what we do, I wanted to create something that was for everyone. A place that is there for you, even when you aren't in classes. A place to feel welcome and somewhere you truly belong,
It's all about feeling good.
So, what is this place?
Feel Good with Charley is just that. A place to feel good. It's a place to build confidence, fitness and friendships. There is no pressure, no judgement, no need to look a certain way. Just come as you are.
Where it all began
Feel Good with Charley (Formerly Zumba with Charley) started in 2019. In a small scouts hut in Bromsgrove. My first ever class? No one turned up! Just me and my speaker. I won't lie and say it didn't affect me. It did. It was really tough, but so am I! It encouraged me to not just talk about my classes, but to shout about them at the top of my lungs!
This wasn't easy or natural for me. Society keeps us humble and in a world of so many incredible instructors, the imposter syndrome kicked in (and hasn't left!). The voice in my head asking me why I thought I could do this was getting louder! So I turned the music up and drowned it out.
Eventually, after 3 years with a very dedicated OG group, we began to grow! I remember my first double digit class! I celebrated! Then when 20 people turned up?! WOW! Then one day, I hit 40 in one class. I cried in the car. Tears of pure happiness. 40 incredible people, had chosen me! I was so incredibly grateful.
One thing that has always mattered to me, above everything else, is the people. You! I get to know you all, and you are all just so inspirational. I am so lucky I get to hear about your lives and your achievements and I get to be a part of your life. You are the reason Feel Good with Charley happened.
I wanted to create a space for you. I wanted to build something that would allow me to be there for you, even when the music ends and we all go home. So, here we are. Grab a cuppa and get comfy!
Why Feel Good with Charley?
I've never wanted fitness to be about punishment, guilt or feeling like you have to change your body before you are allowed to enjoy yourself.
I wanted to create something that celebrates movement for what it can give us.
More energy.
More confidence.
More connection.
More laughter.
More "I feel incredible!"
Because feeling good is reason enough.

Feeling good looks different for everyone
For one person, feeling good might mean dancing for 45 minutes. For someone else, it might be stretching, getting outside, having a laugh with friends, taking some time for themselves or simply doing something that makes them feel like them again.
There isn't one right way to feel good. That's the whole point.
