Translation on exercise- is it correct?

Question

This is the english: In my spare time I like to exercise and dance and recently I began going to zumba classes which I was recommended to try by my friends.

I attempted to translate this to spanish, is it correct?: En mi tiempo libre me gusta hacer ejercicio y bailar y hace poco me empezó a ir a clases de Zumba, que me fue recomendado a través de mis amigos.
