It has now been 6 weeks since we were forced to close our classes as per the guidelines on Covid 19.  I think we were all hoping we could run our classes in some format but this option does not look viable at the moment.   Rest assured I have been busy behind the scenes looking into ways of offering an online presence in some way?   I have to be honest with you though, in that I am really struggling with offering digital classes as I have always been a “live” teacher/performer and react to what I see in front of me.

There may be a possibility of running digital classes through this website as a way forward in a private members page.  In the meantime I intend to do a few videos to do in the comfort of your own home.  I have just sent out an email to all class members who attend the morning classes with a link to a 30 minute home keep fit workout.  It’s a gentle, easy to follow keep fit video, the focus on joint mobility, muscle strength and a bit of cardio.  The video is ideal for Zumba Gold class members, Fitness Gold members and morning Strictly Fitsteps members.  If you attend morning classes please check you have received your email or contact me accordingly.

Evening class members – You will be receiving an email shortly.  Helen, our Fitness Body specialist has done a 30 minute Legs Bums and Tums video and I intend to do a Dance Fitness style video.

Please note – if you are on facebook, please like and follow our Fitness Vibe Hull facebook page.  I will shortly be inviting all class members on facebook to join my private members facebook page “The Fitness Vibe Hub” where I hope to pop some more digital content whilst we are in this challenging Covid 19 situation.

I really hope the government give us some guidance in the coming weeks regarding the possibility of running our group exercise classes in some format.  If it looks as though the current lockdown situation will continue for some time I will offer more home workouts or look into a digital platform on the website.  Please keep checking this website and follow our facebook page.  As always, I will keep in touch with you via email and text.

Missing you all very much and missing teaching our classes.

Stay safe and take care

Happy Easter everyone!  Just wanted to say I am missing you all so much and can’t wait to be back teaching our classes again.  I am lost for words about this awful situation in the world at the moment and hope you are all keeping yourself safe and well and doing ok.

On a brighter note, I have been in contact with Ian Start, the chairman of Cottingham Village Trust and we now have the final figure of the amount raised at our fun charity quiz night which took place at on Friday March 6th.

I am pleased to announce that the final figure we raised is £2003.00!!   How great is that!  Thanks to everyone who supported the event.  I am so pleased with the amount raised and plan to make the quiz an annual event as I know how much we all enjoyed the evening.  Thanks to all the local business owners who donated to our raffle, the raffle alone raised £611.00!  A big thanks to Papas Fish & Chip company who organised the supper on the evening.

The money has now been donated as agreed to Cottingham Village Trust and will be used in their efforts to maintain and retain the Civic Hall Cottingham.

I hope you are all managing to keep moving and keep your spirits up in this challenging period.

Thank you all so much for supporting our event, and I cant wait for us all to be back dancing again together.
