So today on 31st October, I am celebrating 5 years in business! It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed already!
My fitness journey began in 2013 when i started teaching Zumba for another instructor and then followed up by qualifying for Fitsteps in January 2014. During that year I covered classes and gained some valuable experience. However in September 2014 I had to deal with a dilemma after the person I was working with, made it impossible for me to continue working with her. Do I now find other classes to join, or do I start teaching myself?? After much conversation with family and friends and soul searching, I decided I would test the water with a Fitsteps class, the first one being on 31st October 2014. It was so nerve racking, but one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Since then I have not looked back and over the last 5 years my classes have increased from 1 to 6 each week, whilst also working full time. Classes are now busy and buzzing. I gained further qualifications over the years and invaluable experience. My vision 5 years ago was to create a class or classes that would keep people fit but improve their overall well being, and create a community of friendly, like minded people. I hope I have gone some way to achieving that so far in my journey.
I have more ideas for 2020 and to expand, as long as my health is good and there is enough interest in the area. I am in my 50s now and would say to anyone out there who thinks they are too old…… dont believe it, you are never too old. If you have a venture you want to try, do it. What do you have to lose, and you may be very surprised at what you achieve…
A massive thank to everyone who has been with me since the start of my classes and everyone who has joined along the way and continued to support classes. None of the above could have been achieved without your support.
I look forward to continue with you for as long as you will have me.
