Our annual Fitness Gold Macmillan Coffee Morning was held on Monday 15th November at the Church of Ascension. A great turn out as always. We managed to still get our exercise session in then local History expert Paul Schofield did an interesting talk/slide show on Hull’s Old Town.
Thanks to everyone who made the yummy cakes which were amazing. We finished the morning with our fabulous raffle that was bigger than ever.
Lots of cash was raised for the charity, well done everyone x
A big thank you to Elaine Welsh and Gaynor Dent who kindly stepped in to cover all our Halloween classes week beginning Monday 25th October. I had a call from the hospital to have a last minute cancellation to have a small procedure done on my eye that week which meant I could not teach for the week. Gaynor and Elaine – well done to pull off all that Halloween choreography at such short notice. Thank you so much, you did a great job. All the classes thoroughly enjoyed your efforts x
I am now fighting fit and back at classes from Monday 1st November. See you there!

It’s our annual Halloween Zumba Bash on Thursday 28th October 6.30pm at Civic Hall, Cottingham. Not to be missed. Witches, ghosts, devils horns etc most welcome! The playlist will consist of Halloween Zumba tracks that evening. All the well known Halloween tracks will be in there. Gaynor and I will dress the room up so we all get in the spirit of Halloween. A group of us are then going for a social drink in the Duke of Cumberland straight after the class if you would like to join us. The more the merrier! Remember we now have a simple pay as you go system so you can just turn up on the evening. Hope to see you. Katrina x
Our new Outdoor vibe class meets every Thursday morning 10.30am at Cottingham Sports Centre, Northgate and is proving to be very popular. We are on the enclosed Astro Turf pitch. Raining! no problem there is a spacious sports hall we can use during inclement weather. Socialise and exercise all in one go with all the benefits of the great outdoors. Lots of the ladies say they feel fantastic exercising outdoors and it sets them up for the day. Why not try it? Remember we now have a simple pay as you go system. The class is £4.50 and you can pay on the day. Hope to see you x
On Tuesday 28th September a small group of us did a Zumba Gold and Fitsteps display for the Older Peoples Partnership Hull and East Riding. The event was well attended. Fitness Vibe had a trade stand throughout the day and we received lots of enquiries about the classes after doing our little display.
Well done ladies!
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 social media on Friday 1st October where this years celebrities were picked and random and allocated to a group. I then sent a group texts 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!
I am happy to announce that this week we lift restrictions a little more and now have a pay as you go system at all of our Fitness Vibe classes which is great news. So it’s National Fitness Day on Wednesday 26th September. How will you celebrate this day?
We have Zumba Gold on Wednesday 26th September at 10.30am, Civic Hall. Then we have Outdoor Dance Fitness, Zumba and Strictly Fitsteps for the remainder of the week. It would be lovely to see some old faces returning to class.
It’s important to never take for granted being able to move and dance freely. Sometimes we may not be motivated to take part in an exercise class but generally you always feel so much better after attending an exercise class. So with this in mind take time out and join me in the process of a fitter, healthier, happier you!
Lets celebrate National Fitness Day 2021!

I am pleased to announce we can now run outdoor dance fitness classes. They are proving a big success and I am thinking of adding more sessions to the timetable. I still have some availability on a Tuesday morning and there may be some availability in a couple of weeks on a Thursday? The outdoor dance fitness classes with some availability are :
Tuesday morning 11am outdoor dance fitness/keep fit at Cottingham Sports Centre, King George V Playing fields, Northgate, Cottingham.
Thursday morning 11am outdoor dance fitness/Zumba Gold at Cottingham Sports Centre, King George V Playing fields, Northgate, Cottingham (currently full but I am still taking names as I expect there to be some spaces from mid April).
I am hoping to offer a Monday evening 5.45pm outdoor dance fitness/zumba class and also a Wednesday evening 5.45pm outdoor Legs Bums and Tums class in the near future. I am just waiting for confirmation from the venue. Morning outdoor classes are £4.50 and evening outdoor classes will be £5. Payment can be made on the day by cash or card but booking is essential. We are no longer allowed walk in classes and must have a formally organised class with a booking system, following Covid secure guidelines as per government rules.
