Ta – Dah!!  She did it!  Our lovely class member Catherine is now a fully qualified Fitsteps Instructor!  Class members have long admired Catherine’s grace and elegance when she takes the stage.  She has lots of experience in dance and has rediscovered her love of the art through Fitsteps classes.

I look forward to Catherine covering our Fitsteps classes from time to time.  I think she will be fabulous x  Well done Catherine x

On Monday 12th November we had our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning event at the Church of the Asensioin, Calvert Road.  We had our weekly keep fit session as usual 10.30am – 11.15am followed by coffee and home made cakes.  We also had a fabulous little raffle.  It was great that we managed to raise just under £150.

My good friend and fellow Instructor Tracy Hammond helped out at the event with her Wednesday morning keep fit ladies.  Special thanks to Tracy and her ladies for all her help x

We had our final Mamma Mia Strictly Fitsteps class on Wednesday 7th November.  Great fun and very effective.  Thanks for all your energy and smiles, you all looked amazing.  Thanks to those of you who dressed up for the occasion!  I have loved running with the Mamma Mia theme for the past couple of months and hope you have all enjoyed the classes.  We are now back to our usual Strictly Fitsteps class structure.  I am trying to pop some dances into our programme this term inspired by the current Strictly season on TV.  Remember we run our Strictly Fitsteps classes every Friday morning 10.30am and also the first Wednesday evening of the month.  All at Civic Hall, Cottingham.  Hope to see you there!

What a fabulous turn out for our annual Zumba Gold Halloween Bash at Civic Hall, Cottingham.  You all look fabulous.  I had a lovely lunch with you all at the Hallgate Tavern afterwards.  Thanks to Yannis at the Hallgate for organising a lovely lunch for us.

We had our annual Zumba Halloween Bash on Monday 29th October.  Thanks to everyone who turned up – you all looked amazing.  Some fabulous costumes x  Afterwards we all went to the Duke of Cumberland for drinks and a buffet.  It was there that we drew the winner of our recent competition to win a monthly free class pass for November.  Congratulations to Karen Kingett our lucky winner on the night.

This is great news, Fitsteps is featured in the October edition of Slimming World magazine!  If you are a member of Slimming World grab yourself a copy from your group.  The article features our very own Natalie Lowe, founder of Fitsteps giving a Cha Cha tutorial and highlighting the many benefits of dance on the body.  It’s a great article.  The magazine is on sale on the newsstands from 25th October and available at all Slimming World groups now.  All great for promoting our fabulous Strictly Fitsteps classes x

We all had lots of fun on Friday 19th October at our final Friday morning Mamma Mia Strictly Fitsteps Class.  The two fabulous posters you can see were painted by our very own Suzanne Gibbins, as you can see she is a talented artist.  I have loved teaching the Mamma Mia class and may bring it back again next August.  Thanks to some of the ladies that dressed up 70’s style for the class.  Our final Wednesday evening Mamma Mia Tribute Class is Wednesday 7th November 6.30pm – 7.15pm Civic Hall, Cottingham.  Hopefully some of you will join me and dress in Abba style.

The nights are drawing in and I know it’s not easy to stay motivated and keep your fitness routine.  So with this in mind this months competition is to keep you motivated and focused.
