We are having our Fitness Vibe Christmas Party on Thursday 15th December at Civic Hall, Cottingham. We are doing things slightly different this year and are not running our Xmas Zumba class as in previous years. This year we can all get a bit dressed up! Please note this event is now sold out. I am taking a reserve list in case anyone drops out so please see myself, Adele or Jean if you would like to be on the reserve list. Tickets were sold at £15.

Please arrive at Civic Hall no later than 7pm. Glass of fizz on arrival, cold and hot buffet, entertainment and a disco. The bar is open with reasonably priced drinks.

It should be a lovely evening everyone x

It’s that time of year again. We have our annual evening Halloween Zumba Class on Monday 31st October 2022 6.30pm, Civic Hall, Cottingham. Witches, ghosts, pumpkin tops most welcome!

All the playlist will be Halloween Zumba theme. Easy to follow moves, suitable for beginners.

Always a good atmosphere, why not join us?

Please note we are open throughout the year. So all Fitness Vibe classes run throughout the October half term school holidays.

Remember you can use your loyalty card at any of our Fitness Vibe classes so why not take advantage of this and try another class style or another venue?

Everyone who has entered this years fun Strictly Sweepstake will now have had a text letting them know which group they are in. There are 15 groups in total. A live draw was done on Wednesday 28th September on social media where this years celebrities were picked at random and allocated to a group. I then sent a group text out the following morning so everyone knew which celebrity they had drawn.

Check out this post showing which celebrity each group has drawn.

Good luck everyone!

Once again I am running a fun Strictly Sweepstake. Who will pick up the glitter ball this year?

It’s £5 to enter. All money from the sweepstake will be shared out amongst the winners. There are 3 draws taking place:

1 1st celebrity to be knocked out

2 1st celebrity to get a perfect “10”

3 Celebrity to become the 2022 champion.

Your celebrity is chosen at random live on social media and you will also be notified on the website and via text message. If you would like to enter please contact Katrina or see Adele or Jean at reception. All entries to be in by Wednesday 20th September.

Good luck everyone!

New term, new goals. September is a great time to get back to healthy habits and get back on track with your fitness regime. It’s a change in the seasons with nights drawing in after the long days of summer.

September is the time for new beginnings and can be full of promise and exciting projects. So if you haven’t been to class for a while, take those first steps back and invest in your health and fitness.

Come on ladies – let’s rise to the test, and back to your best!

On Monday 15th August we had our annual Fitness Gold summer picnic lunch straight after our Monday morning session. The weather was lovely and we managed to find some dappled shade within the grounds of the venue which was great.

Thanks to Vicky from Saving Thyme Buffet Catering Hull for a super buffet, I can highly recommend her.

We all had a lovely lunch and it’s so nice that we were all able to catch up with everyone from the class.

Fitness, Fun & Friendship!

The kids are now on holiday but the good news is Fitness Vibe classes are running right through the school summer holidays.

During the holiday period you may want to take advantage of the other classes on offer? Maybe try a morning class if you are off for the week? Please note your loyalty card applies to all the Fitness Vibe classes on offer.

Happy holidays!

I intend to run all our classes as usual throughout the hot weather this week and will of course adjust the playlist to suit the weather each day and make the sessions less intense if needed. Low intensity options will be given throughout the classes. I totally understand that we all deal with the heat differently and some of us really struggle with it.

One of the most important tips is to make sure you are fully hydrated before even coming to class and we will also factor in lots of breaks and drink breaks throughout the session. Drinking lots of water helps the body to sweat and cool down. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink fluids, I will keep reminding you to pop to the side and take a drink after most tracks. So please make sure you bring plenty of water with you and I will also have spare water around the room. Another good tip is to bring a cool towel and make sure you wear loose, breathable, lightweight clothing.

I have purchased 6 large fans to help keep the rooms as cool as possible. I will always ventilate, although if it is hotter outside than indoors the windows and curtains will stay closed to shade from the sun. We seem to be managing fine this week and on the really hot days you may even get an ice lolly at the end of class to help cool you down! As a one off there will also be chairs around the room if you feel you would like to do seated exercise.

Regarding our Outdoor Vibe sessions, if the weather is hot please make sure you apply sun cream and wear a hat if needed.

All classes seem to have gone fine this week throughout this hot weather period so all is good. Lets all enjoy the sunshine safely. Katrina x

I would like to thank my Monday morning Fitness Gold Keep it ladies for my lovely 60th birthday gifts. A fantastic card and a very sparkly bottle of fizz, a boots voucher and a voucher to use at one of my favourite eateries – The Brain Jar in Hull’s Old Town. Thank you so much ladies.

If anyone would like to join our fun and friendly exercise to music class, we meet every Monday morning 11am at the Church of Ascension, Calvert Road. You would be made to feel most welcome by this lovely group.
