The store’s Community Life Champion, Angela Smith, said: “At first I think a few people wondered what was going on, but very quickly pretty much everyone I could see started joining in with the exercises and we’ve had lots of positive feedback from customers afterwards, as well.”

Horia said: “It is a great introduction to physical exercise as part of our routines.”
