Over 50 people have participated in a calorie-bursting three hours of dance on the car park at Liberty Health Club and Richmond Swimming Pool.

Freelance Zumba instructor Emma Blackmore organised the event to raise funds to support the work of the charity which runs Liberty Health Club and Richmond Swimming Pool.

Austin Gordon, Richmondshire Leisure Trust’s General Manager said, “This is the first time Emma has done her Zumbathon at Liberty Health Club and what an incredible event she put on. We are really grateful that Emma chose to support our charity. Our charity not only runs and manages sports facilities but supports the wider wellbeing of residents. With the pool set to reopen in three weeks, we are really excited to be having Emma back with her very popular aquafit.”
