As the summer holidays draw to a close, many of us are starting to look ahead to the Autumn term—setting new goals, exploring new hobbies, and planning activities for ourselves and our families. Here at Sandersons, our teaching staff are ready and excited to support you in this next chapter.
Our full class timetable is huge – we’re talking hundreds of classes every week! There are far too many to list here, so we’ve highlighted just a few that might be worth checking out…
⭐️ BRAND NEW REFORMER PILATES STUDIO ⭐️
We are delighted to announce that we are opening our very own Pilates Reformer Studio. This will be situated in Lomeshaye Business Centre, next door to our Nelson studio. Reformer Pilates is a dynamic, low impact workout performed on a spring-based machine. It is designed to strengthen, lengthen, and tone the whole body while improving posture and mobility. There will be 6 machines that will be used in our specialised, small group sessions. Our teacher Yasmin who has recently completed her intensive instructor training will lead the sessions. So far, we have had an overwhelming response to this news, and we anticipate class places will fill up quickly, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
⭐️ BURNLEY YOUTH THEATRE – SATURDAY MORNING CLASSES ⭐️
Over the last few months, Gemma, Sammy & Charlotte have launched a new Saturday morning department at Burnley Youth Theatre.

⭐️ STREET CLASSES AT OUR NELSON STUDIO ⭐️
Street is the most popular dance style for children that we offer at our studios. The latest trends in Pop & Hip Hop music and the funky choreography really make it the coolest style around. We have several classes throughout the week, but we have picked out a couple of classes that we think would be great for NEWCOMERS….
Tuesday 5.00-5.30pm with Jess – School Year Reception to Year 3
Thursday 5.30-6.00pm with Charlotte – School Year Reception to Year 4
£4.50 per class – pay as you go.
⭐️ THE COMPLETE BODY PROGRAMME AT OUR NELSON STUDIO ⭐️
Even if you’ve been working out regularly for years, hitting the gym after 40 can feel increasingly challenging – both mentally and physically. Your joints and muscles can no longer handle hardcore, back-to-back workouts and you feel that your motivation levels aren’t quite what they used to be. While these factors can be frustrating, it’s important not to let them hinder your enthusiasm for keeping fit and looking after your body.
Our head fitness coach Carol, who has been an instructor here at Sandersons for 37 years has brand-new class just for you. The main target group is those over 40, perhaps approaching or have hit the menopause, whose needs from a fitness class have changed. This “COMPLETE BODY PROGRAMME” is designed to include a little bit of everything so that all your fitness needs are covered in one class…
Carol runs 2 of these classes per week but recommends her THURSDAY 9.15-10.00AM class as the best one for newcomers to join. £6.00 per class – pay weekly.
