Thursday mornings wouldn’t be the same without Fitsteps. Aby’s routines are amazing, incorporating the ‘Strictly’ dance moves with first class tuition and excellent choice of music. Overall very motivating with a feel-good factor. I thoroughly recommend it.
Fitsteps classes are so much fun – everybody leaves with a smile on their face and feeling like a Strictly star!
Fitsteps has changed my body and mind, so much enjoyment and so many knew friends thank you Aby Kate.
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.
I have been going to Aby’s Fitsteps classes more or less when it started in 2014 and I really enjoy it. She is so cheerful and enthusiastic. We have a laugh too while keeping fit! Really recommend joining any of Aby’s classes.
When I retired, I wanted to keep fit and stay active so I joined Aby’s Fitsteps class. Three years later I’m still going strong and enjoying every minute of it. It’s a good aerobic exercise and at the same time you learn different ballroom dance steps (without the need of a partner). She is a brilliant choreographer and cleverly interprets the music to fit the individual dances. She changes the routines regularly which not only keeps you “on your toes” but keeps your brain active too!
I then decided I wanted to do a more “relaxing” class so joined the slow flow yoga group. You can make the moves as easy or as hard as you feel able to do. I love this class as I feel that my muscle strength, posture, balance and flexibility have improved greatly.
When TAPfit came along I couldn’t wait to give it a go. This class is great… it’s fun, energetic and a full body great work out. Can’t wait for it to start up again.
Aby is so enthusiastic and “upbeat” in everything she does. It’s no wonder her classes are so popular. Thanks, Aby
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.
As a huge ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fan, the opportunity to learn the Latin and ballroom dance moves (without the need of a partner on the dance floor) combined with a good physical workout was an opportunity not to be missed. Most importantly, Aby’s bubbly and welcoming personality concentrates on making both Fitsteps & Fitsteps FAB classes lots of fun, helped by the diversity of music both traditional and modern. The combination of the dance steps is forever changing, so helps to keep the mind active also.
Fitsteps FAB does what it says keeps you fit and makes you feel fabulous. Thanks, Aby you always brighten my day
