We got an early start this morning on News10NBC Today! All week long we've been asking you where the best fitness club is and Bounce Aerobics at Marketplace Mall in Henrietta won with nearly 50-percent of the vote!

From zumba to turbokick to boxing, it's all group fitness classes at bounce aerobics and it's a family affair. Two sisters and their mother started bounce aerobics in 2009.

Christine Pilaroscia said, What makes us different is that first of all, we the owners are the ones teaching most of the classes and we are also right at the front desk welcoming people when they come in so they actually know us. Our members feel like they're part of our family.

And they know how to have a good time! Our own Nikki Rudd gave boxing and zumba a try.

If you want to too, your first class is always free.

Race hate reports on the rise in East Lancashire

4:00pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News

REPORTS of racist hate crimes increased last year in East Lancashire after falling steadily for the three years previously.

There were 770 recorded incidents in 2013, down from 666 in 2012.

Numbers of recorded hate crimes had been in decline, dropping from 1,073 in 2009.

Racially and religiously aggravated assaults without injury saw the biggest increase, rising from 32 in 2012, to 41 in 2013, across Pennine and Eastern divisions.

General racist incidents also increased from 370 to 410 over the same period.

But hate crime campaigners have welcomed the figures, saying that they represent a growing recognition of ratially motivated crimes.

Sylvia Lancaster, founder of the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, which encourages victims to report hate crimes to police, said: I think its a good thing, more people are recognising what a hate crime actually is.

And when crimes are reported police have a better picture and are seeing them as hate crimes, and thats got to be a positive step.
