Fitstep F-A-B Fit for All Bodies! (and may I add All Ages!) If you love Strictly and long to get a bit fitter this is the class for you…and you don’t worry you don’t need a partner as we dance in a line, its great fun! Aby Kate is an amazing teacher explaining and demonstrating brilliantly .We do The Swing Waltz, Swing Jive, Cha-cha Sway, Bosa Nova, Disco ( who doesn’t love disco) and my personal favourites The Argentine Tango and Jazz..to name but a few! Aby is constantly choreographing new routines to a mixture of traditional & new music… unlike a lot of fitness classes you will never get bored! It’s a 10 from me!
Aby’s Fitsteps FAB class is an excellent workout for your body and your mind!! In a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. No pressure and it’s of fun ☺
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.
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.
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.
If you love dancing and want to keep fit Fitsteps is for you. It’s not only a good workout but something to look forward to every week. It’s a lovely friendly class which I’m sure is down to Aby.
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
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.
Aby’s classes are the best , I love fitsteps. Aby is lovely patient funny and a great instructor.
