Aby’s classes are the best , I love fitsteps. Aby is lovely patient funny and a great instructor.

Sylve W
Fitsteps

I have been attending Aby Kate’s classes for several years, since she started them at my local gym. I immediately loved the dance elements of the Fitsteps classes & Zumba & when I cancelled my gym membership, sought out her independent classes & went to those, plus introducing myself to her Pilates class.

I absolutely love the way Aby teaches, she is very knowledgable & explains moves clearly so making them easy to follow. I  love the interaction of her face to face classes & I’m hoping that I will be able to join Aby with some of her extra curricular visits to shows & demonstrations, as I did before covid.

Unfortunately I was not able to access her online classes during lockdown & really missed the classes (particularly Fitsteps) so when I was able to return was worried I would struggle to keep up, but along with other ‘newbie’s’ I soon felt at ease thanks to the wonderful way Aby teaches. I am now loving it again & I look forward to attending every week, dancing and catching up with all my classmates.

After going to Aby’s classes, I am certain that I would be disappointed with any other fitness instructor.

Aby’s classes are always great fun, well balanced and challenging, in a good way!! I have been attending Zumba and Fitsteps for some time and always leave the classes on a high feeling ready for anything. Aby is very professional and an inspiration, I would definitely recommend her classes.

 

Sue Cope
Fitsteps, Zumba

I have attended various classes taught by Aby Kate at different venues for over 10 years, including online classes during Covid and since Covid, namely, Full Body, Pilates, Yoga, Fitsteps and Zumba.

Throughout this time I have found every class to be highly enjoyable, challenging and Professionally organised. In my opinion, Aby Kate is an excellent teacher and motivator.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Aby Kate’s classes to anyone regardless of their level.

Fitsteps, Zumba, Zumba Gold, Pilates, Gentle Flow Yoga, Full Body

I have been attending Aby’s classes for many years and during Lockdown I started to participate in her online classes, which were an absolute God send.

I attend a variety of classes both online and face to face including, Yogalates, Fitsteps, Zumba, Zumba Gold and Full Body Tone to name a few. During every class I join whether it is face to face or online, I can grantee that Aby will give 150% to her students. This lady is like liquid sunshine, a true inspiration. Aby exudes happiness, positivity and good energy. After every class I can guarantee I feel more energised, happy and uplifted in my mind, body and soul. Aby absolutely loves her job and this translates in her teaching.

The classes are very competitively priced, very varied, taught in a number of geographical locations throughout Stoke on Trent and Stafford and are always evolving.

I can’t recommend Aby’s classes enough and feel that they enhance my life in a positive way. I look forward to exercising with Aby because it’s so enjoyable, sociable and it improves my life holistically.  Thank you Aby,  your classes are the BEST.

I really love Zumba and Fitsteps classes run by Aby. They are an excellent, fun filled way to exercise and give a good workout, whilst having fun at the same time. Both the online and face to face classes are excellent and I’ve really seen results in my fitness since doing the classes.

Jan Welton
Fitsteps & Zumba

I have enjoyed Aby’s fun,  energetic Zumba classes for 3 years and more recently her fabulous Fitsteps.  Aby brings her infectious personality, energy and sense of fun to all classes and always conducts herself in a very professional manner. During lockdown Aby very quickly introduced us to online Zoom classes and was very patient with us all while we mastered the technology.  Aby is an inspiration and I can’t recommend her classes highly enough.

Sue Cope
Fitsteps & Zumba

We have been attending Abys classes for the last 4 years, we started with Fitsteps but for the last 2 years due to lockdown we started her Zumba classes  too.  We now do both Fitsteps & Zumba classes face to face. Her classes are very professional yet fun based and friendly. Her choice of music, the routines and personal rapport with her “lovelies” ensures everyone leaves the class smiling.  Highly recommended.

Fitsteps & Zumba

Fitsteps has been a breath of fresh air to my life, helping me to get fitter in mind and body. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy exercise and make new friends. Our instructor Aby is very motivational and makes the classes fun. She really knows the moves and chooses great tunes to boogie too.
