Although the club is temporarily closed following Government guidelines issued to limit the spread of Covid-19, the team at Mecca Bingo Hartlepool decided to post the fitness routine to lighten the mood.
Six staff members were filmed live from the bingo hall sharing a dance routine, from a safe distance between them all.

Mecca Bingo Hartlepool customers were very impressed with the team's efforts, with more than 100 comments racking up on the post overnight.
Lynn Butterworth, general manager at Mecca Bingo Hartlepool, said: “We know it’s a difficult time for everyone right now and we’re sure our customers miss being here in the club as much as we miss hosting them, so we wanted to spread some exercise fun for our customers to try at home whilst we all do our best to make sure our community is safe.
“We can’t wait to welcome our customers back into the club when it is safe to do so.”
