Women enjoyed a fitness-filled afternoon at the area's first ever This Girl Can Essex Festival.
The fitness festival took place at Zinc Arts in Ongar and provided free classes in pilates, kickboxing, yoga and mini-trampolining, courtesy of groups including Ongar Leisure Centre, Ladies Kickboxing Academy, YogaCrow and Fit School.
There are now more than 350 This Girl Can Essex ambassadors across Essex who aim to to get active people active and out and about.
Kelly Harman, relationship manager for Active Essex, said: βIt was fantastic to see so many women participate in the festival, many who were trying out activities for the very first time.
"There was a great vibe and real sense of community spirit on the day and we hope all that took part feel inspired to continue or increase the amount of regular exercise and activity within their daily lives.β
