Now that Spring is here and the nights are getting longer it’s a great time to get your motivation back. It’s not easy to commit to your fitness classes but you will always feel better once you have done an exercise session. So let’s think about moving more, lifting our spirits and lets all shape up for the summer.

Two years ago on 16th March 2020 we were all shocked when our exercise classes were forced to close due to the first lockdown. I was very saddened and stressed when this happened and missed you all terribly. The classes were very intermittent for the next couple of years during the lockdown rules.

We are now in a position to reclaim the privilege to join group exercise classes as we wish. Group exercise classes have so many benefits. You get to exercise with like minded people, you meet new friends, feel supported and encouraged, it’s great for your mental health and wellbeing.

I’m so pleased we are now fully up and running and all together again.

So don’t miss out! Enjoy your group fitness classes again!

Wow! 11 years ago on March 3rd 2011 we started our Zumba Classes in Cottingham. Thank you so much to all my Fitness Vibe class members past and present who have supported me for all this time. The classes are so much more than just an exercise class. It’s a place where lasting friendships are formed and we all support each other through the good times and the not so good times.

I’m very proud of the fact that the classes are still as vibrant as ever and some of you have been with me for all this time since that very first Zumba class 11 years ago!

Thank you ladies, here’s to Fitness, Fun and Friendship.

We now have a new clothing line. Long sleeve T shirts now available at £16. Ideal for our Outdoor classes at the moment. Please note they are quite a small fit when ordering one. Thanks to our lovely class member Jean who is shown here modelling a T shirt in size Large.

Place your orders with Katrina at class.

Please note all our Fitness Vibe Classes are running throughout the half term holidays next week, commencing Monday 21st February. I aim to run all classes right through the year up to December 22nd 2022 and keep the consistency of our classes going.

I do have a couple of weeks off in the Summer but now have the confirmation that these classes will now be covered by Gaynor, Helen and Elaine as usual.

Have a lovely week. Katrina x

Looking forward to seeing my Fitness Roses on Valentines Day this year. I will pop a few themed tracks in the playlist to mark the occasion.

Let’s make exercise a part of your weekly routine and spread some love at our classes this month. Spring is just around the corner so join me in the process of aiming for a fitter, healthier, happier you!

I would like to wish all my lovely Fitness Vibe class members past and present a happy and healthy 2022 x Here are a few pictures looking back on the crazy year of 2021. We have been online, outdoor, indoor, stopped, started, but thankfully we have been able to run live, face to face classes since 29th March 2021 continuously. I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas with your loved ones. My daughter Erin was able to return home from London this year with restrictions easing so it was lovely. Fitness Vibe classes start again on Wednesday 5th Jan 2022. I’m looking forward to sharing wonderful times again this year as a fitness family. Happy New Year! Love from Katrina x

Once again we are having our Evening Christmas Zumba Bash on Thursday 16th December at Civic Hall, Cottingham. Always a lovely informal event, not to be missed.

Come along to Zumba as usual on the evening 6.30pm – 7.15pm £5 entrance (this includes a raffle ticket). The playlist will be all festive so Santa Hats, Elves etc most welcome but not essential. You are then invited to stay behind and join me for a glass of bubbly, buffet, entertainment and raffle. I have hired the hall until 10pm so feel free to stay for as long as you want. Some ladies just stay for an hour which is still lovely as I get the chance to chat with you all. The bar will be open for wine, beer and soft drinks at just £1 a drink! I am asking for £6.50 if you are staying for the buffet, entertainment etc. All monies must be in by Monday 13th December as the chef has to order the food.

It would be great if you could join me. Please note anyone wanting to just attend the Zumba class that evening just turn up as usual and its a simple pay as you go system £5 entrance.
