Hello ladies.  This is not a usual business website post/blog.  I just wanted to make sure I am reaching out to everyone just in case I do not have your mobile or email address.

I hope you are all well, staying in and keeping safe as per the government guidelines.  I just wanted to say I miss teaching our live classes so much and I am lost for words about what is going on around us.

I am currently in the process of identifying those Fitness Vibe class members who are in the over 70 age range, live alone with no outside space.   My priority would certainly be with this group to deliver some sort of online uplifting exercise activity with the platforms available.  I am very aware that many in this age group do not use social media and do not all have laptops etc.  Once I have tried to sort something out to keep social interaction with this group, I would then hope to do something temporary for other groups.  This is proving difficult with all the licencing laws in place and the equipment I currently own.

In the meantime please try and keep active.  If you find yourself sedentary, maybe move around every hour, walk up and down the stairs where possible, follow some of the you tube classes/TV classes available.  When doing so please remember to have suitable footwear on, have a hazard free space to exercise, have some water available and make sure you feel fit to exercise.  I hope your spirits stay lifted as much as possible in this challenging dreadful time.

Thinking of you all, I will be in touch

It was our Fitness Vibe 9th Yearr Anniversary on March 3rd.  This year to celebrate we organised a charity quiz night on Friday 6th March at the Civic Hall, Cottingham.  All proceeds going to the Cottingham Village Trust.

Nearly 200 attended with 26 teams in all!.  The room was made up of Fitness Vibe members with their family and friends and also members of the Cottingham Village Trust and volunteers..  It was so lovely to see age ranges from 15 – 90!

We had a fabulous raffle with donations from many Cottingham buisiness owners and Papa’s of Willerby organised the Fish and Chip supper which was yummy!

Prizes for the winning teams consised of bottles of bubbly and Easter eggs.  Here are the winning teams – First place went to “Team JC”, Second place went to team “Quiz-Tal-Met!” and Third place went to team “Point for each”.  Well done everyone!

Special thanks to the volunteers on the evening and also to Ian Start our fabulous quiz master.

I will have a final figure of the money raised week commencing Monday 9th March.

What a fabulous evening!  Hopefully we could make this a regular event x

It’s our Fitness Vibe 9th Year anniversary on 3rd March 2020.  Thank you all for supporting our classes for the past 9 years.  Here is a picture from our very first class taken at the Civic Hall on March 3rd 2011!  Can you spot yourself?  It so great that lots of the ladies in the picture still come to class now x

To celebrate our 9th anniversary this year  we are having a fun charity quiz night on Friday 6th March which is now sold out!  We will also be doing lots of retro tracks in the playlist at our evening Zumba Classes week commencing 2nd March for a bit of nostalgia.  If you have any requests and favourite tracks, please contact me and I will try and remember the tracks and pop them in our playlist!

I cant believe it’s been 9 years!  It’s fabulous that we still have a vibrant community fitness community after 9 years, still going strong.  Fitness, fun and friendship x
