BOOSTfit has been cancelled this week!

I'm really sorry, but I've received a notification from the school that we cannot hold class this week (the school is closed because of the heat).

This may not be the worst news, however, as it has recently been discovered that my new haircut is NOT, in fact, cooler than having a full head of hair!

As things stand, we should be back to normal next week:

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Wednesday
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

I'll keep everyone updated if anything changes.

In the meantime, stay cool, stay hydrated, and try not to melt.

See you all next week!

At first, I thought, "What have I done?"

How could I possibly go out with hair like this?

But then I did.

I taught my classes.
I went to work.
I went shopping.

In other words, I did everything I would have done if I had a full head of hair.

Everyone could see what I thought was "the mistake."

And do you know what happened?

Absolutely nothing.

Nobody cared.

It was a good reminder that most people are far too busy worrying about themselves to spend much time judging anyone else.

And that's one of the things I love about BOOSTfit

We make mistakes, and nobody cares.

You might go left when everyone else goes right.
You might forget the routine.
Your moves might look completely different from the person next to you.

And that's okay.

We just keep going.

There's no judgment.
No pressure.
No expectation that you'll get everything right.

Just movement, laughter, and a room full of people doing their best.

So, if you'd like to get fit and have fun with an instructor whose clippers have now been permanently confiscated, come and join us this Wednesday.

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Wednesday
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

I promise not to bring the clippers. 😄✂️💛

So I decided to wear my BOOSTfit shirt as a bit of advertising during the Leeds 10K.

What I hadn't planned for was completely forgetting what the slogan on the back actually said.

Every now and then, during the race, someone would shout, "You're doing great!" or "I love your shirt!" and people even thanked me for the message on it.

Each time, I'd smile and say thank you... while secretly trying to remember what was written on my own back.

It wasn't until afterwards that it really hit me how many people had read it and connected with it.

We all need a reminder sometimes. A reminder that we can keep going. A reminder to believe in ourselves. A reminder that we don't have to be perfect.

Whether it's running 10K, trying a new fitness class, or just getting through a difficult week, a few encouraging words can make a real difference.

It was lovely to know that the message resonated with so many people.

And yes... I eventually remembered what it said.

So if you'd like to join a fitness class where the instructor sometimes forgets what she's wearing (and occasionally forgets the moves to a routine), come and join us.

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Wednesday
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

Perfection is definitely not required.

So I've decided to risk it all... Tonight, I'm introducing not one, but TWO new tracks at BOOSTfit. 😅What am I thinking?...

So I've decided to risk it all...

Tonight, I'm introducing not one, but TWO new tracks at BOOSTfit. 😅

What am I thinking?

What has possessed me to add even more chaos to my life?

I've practised them.
I practised them again last night.
And I'll probably practise them several more times before class.

But let's be honest... that's absolutely no guarantee that I'll get them right tonight. 😄

So, if you've been thinking about trying BOOSTfit but have been worried that you won't know what you're doing...

Tonight is your night.

Because if I get lost, and you get lost, we'll all be lost together.

That's the thing about BOOSTfit. It's not about being perfect. It's about moving, laughing, having fun, and not taking ourselves too seriously.

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Tonight
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

Come and join us.

We can't guarantee we'll get all the moves right. But I can promise we'll have fun trying.

We had a small but successful first week of Mat Pilates at Eastmoor Community Project!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the first class such a lovely start.

If you missed out, don't worry—there's still plenty of room to join us this Monday and see if Pilates is for you.

Whether you're completely new to Pilates or returning after a break, you'll be very welcome. The class is designed for beginners, movements can be adapted to suit your ability, and there's no pressure to get everything right.

📍 Eastmoor Community Project
🗓 Monday
⏰ 6:30–7:30pm
💷 £5

Come along, move a little, stretch a little, and discover what Pilates can do for you.

Message me at 07725 983850 if you'd like more information.

So we did a thing... 💛

Yep — we had another fantastic BOOSTfit class tonight!

There was sliding, punching, twisting, and lots of laughter. 😄

A huge thank you to all the ladies who joined me tonight (including the two who were camera shy and managed to avoid photographic evidence of their hard work 📸🙈).

I’ll see you all next week... IYKYK.

And if you don't know...

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Wednesdays
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

Come and see what all the fuss is about.

Just one important note:

🚫 DO NOT mistake us for the majorettes. That is NOT us.🚫

We're the group having a great workout, laughing at our mistakes, and occasionally wondering which direction we're supposed to be going.

Come for the movement... stay for the laughs.

I love my allotment.

My allotment does NOT love me.

So far, I have been:

🐜 Bitten by red ants
🐝 Stung by a bee (twice... does that make it two bees?)
🌿 Blistered after touching stinging nettles that I didn't even know I'd touched
🌹 Left with more thorns in my fingers than I can count
🍃 And I currently have so many things hiding in my hair that I'm basically a walking compost heap

And we're not even going to discuss how many times my greenhouse has blown over.

At this point, I'm starting to think my allotment sees me as an invasive species.

I'm not giving up, though.

But if you're wondering what I'll be thinking about during the StressBust section of BOOSTfit tomorrow night... let's just say there may be some very aggressive punching and kicking of the air.

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Wednesday
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

If life has been testing your patience this week, come and join us. We'll move, we'll laugh, and we'll leave feeling a whole lot better than when we arrived.

Tomorrow's the day! Mat Pilates classes start at Eastmoor Community Project!

Never done Pilates before? What’s stopping you?

Don’t have a mat?
We've got ones you can borrow.

Not flexible enough?
You do NOT need to be flexible to do Pilates. Everything can be adapted to YOUR ability.

Worried you’ll be the only beginner?
We’re all new in this class!

Not sure what to wear?
Comfortable clothes and socks are perfect (especially if you’re borrowing a mat).

Worried about the instructor?
Honestly, that should probably be your biggest concern… just kidding 😆

Although I’m a new Pilates teacher, I’ve been practising Pilates for over 15 years and teaching fitness classes for several years, including BOOSTfit and Move it or Lose it. I’ll be bringing the same fun personality from those classes into Pilates too

I’ve been lucky to learn from some wonderful mentors over the years, and I hope to make you feel just as welcome in my classes as they made me feel in theirs.

📍 Eastmoor Community Project
⏰ 6:30–7:30pm
💷 £5

If you’ve been thinking about trying Pilates… this is your sign!

If you’ve got questions or are thinking about coming along, feel free to message me or contact Ivory on 07725 983850.

🚨 TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT! 🚨

It’s been decided… There WILL be a brand new upper body routine tonight at BOOSTfit.

I’ve been practising my little heart out, and I think I’ve got it.

(Keyword: think)

Want to find out what BOOSTfit is all about?
Or just see whether the rest of the routine goes to plan? 👀

Come and join us tonight!

📍 Kettlethorpe High School
🗓 Tonight
⏰ 6:15 – 7:00 PM

P.S. Trying to do a weight routine with a clicker in your hand is a lot harder than it looks.

Come for the workout… stay for the laughs and mild chaos. 💛
