I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who put towards my flowers, wine and gift voucher for Boots. I was very shocked when Jean presented it to me at our Friday morning Strictly Fitsteps class on the morning of my birthday. What a lovely treat!

I will make sure I treat myself to something special. Thanks again.

What a fabulous Fitness Gold day trip we had on Tuesday 2nd May. We always try and do a Fitness Gold trip every year in the springtime and this year we went to Burnby Hall House and Gardens in Pocklington to visit their Tulip festival. The tulip festival is well worth a visit and was really gorgeous.

Thanks to Les Holland coaches for their excellent service. Our coach driver “magic Mike!” did a fab job – someone did crazy parking on double yellow lines but he thoroughly deserved the round of applause for managing to maneuver our huge coach. A job very well done.

Lunch at the Lillipad cafe was really nice and excellent value. Gorgeous sandwiches and roasted mini potatoes all served on lovely china dinnerwear.

We then went on to McCarthur Glen shopping outlet in York for a spot of retail therapy.

We all had such a lovely day out. Thanks to all my Fitness Gold ladies for being great company on our little trip. Where shall we go next time?

It was our Fitness Vibe 12th Anniversary on 3rd March 2023. To celebrate we had a step back in time for a full week with all the old favourite Zumba Tracks. Lots of you gave me your requests. Gaynor and I certainly felt 12 years older doing those old retro trakcs!

Here’s a trip down memory lane with some old photographs looking back over the years. It’s great that some of you are still at class now after all this time.

It’s Fitness Vibe’s 12th anniversary on 3rd March 2023. To celebrate we once again held a charity Quiz night at the Civic Hall, Cottingham.

The tickets sold out in just 7 days with 140 people coming along on the evening. Ian Start the chairman of Cottingham Village Trust was our Quiz Master and did an excellent job on the evening. Papas restaurant did the catering and did a table service with a fabulous fish and chip supper.

The raffle was amazing and I would like to thank all the local Cottingham business owners who kindly donated the raffle prizes. Special thanks also go to the volunteers who helped out on the evening.

Some of the questions were quite hard and they really got the brain working! The winning team was ” The horseman and his fillies”, runners up were “The Pendants’ Revolt”, third place went to “The Business”. I think we all really enjoyed ourselves and it was a chance to get together with our class members and their friends and family.

All money raised from the Quiz will be going direct to the Cottingham Village Trust to maintain the Civic Hall and keep it in the hands of the local community. I will let you know the final figure raised from the event as soon as possible.

Helen our Fitness Body Instructor popped by this weekend to test the new resistance tubes. Get ready Tuesday evening Legs Bums and Tums crew to firm, tighten and tone now using resistance tubes as part of your workout.

Helen will be targeting all those problem areas that we wish were firmer! Strength work is so important as we get older and resistance tubes are ideal for this class.

Legs Bums and Tums runs every Tuesday evening 6.30pm at Civic Hall. All equipment is provided and lots of modifications are given by Helen, our very experienced instructor.

It’s our annual popular Quiz night on Friday 17th February 2023 from 7.15pm at Civic Hall, Cottingham. Not to be missed!

The evening includes a Fish and Chip supper from Papas (vegetarian pie option available) a super raffle and a bar service. The Quiz is always great fun and starts around 8pm. The evening finishes around 10.30pm.

Tickets are £14 and available to purchase at any Fitness Vibe classes now. This social evening is open to all Fitness Vibe members and their family and friends.

We will be having teams of a maximum of 8/9 people. Make sure you have a name for your team! No worries if you are on your own or just 2/3 of you, I will make sure I merge you with someone you know and introduce you all before the evening.

A fun, great value event. Tickets sell fast so don’t miss out!

I would like to thank all my Cottingham Fitness Vibe ladies who put towards my Christmas gift that was presented to me at our Christmas Party on Thursday 15th December. I was very shocked and very grateful x

I managed to get into Boots and spend the voucher on all my favourite Clinique products. Thank you so much x

I would also like to give a big thank you to Phil, Adele, Jean, Gaynor, chef Andy and my husband Alan for all their help towards our fabulous Christmas Party. A night as successful as that does take a lot of me and effort and would be far too much of a task for one person alone, it really was a team effort. We all enjoyed ourselves and we were all really proud of the evening and plan to do the same sort of event next year.
