Work It With Paula - Zumba and Fitness Classes

💪 This is my wonderful Forever Active class at Greenway Centre - it’s a weekly class every Tuesday at 10:15am for over 55s and we do something different each week. We often do circuits in pairs, and workouts with dumbbells, Pilates balls, or bands. I provide modifications for all abilities as they are a varied bunch! 🤩

I focus on functional exercise that will help you in day to day life so you can feel good and stay active. You can also enjoy my killer soundtrack of 60s and 70s music 😁

♥️ They’re a super friendly group and always have coffee together afterwards. All abilities welcome. If you’d like to come along you can book on and get more details here:

I can’t believe I’m doing this but I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon next April for 😍

I’ve only ever ran around 12k before and never entered an official event so this will be a big achievement for me, and doing it for such a great cause will motivate me even more.

I might put on a zumbathon nearer the time to help raise some funds, but if you’d like to sponsor me the link is below. There’s still 9 months to go so no rush or pressure to do so. I’ll be posting this and annoying everyone a few more times 😬

Thank you! 🙏

🎉 Ten years ago I became a Zumba instructor and it changed my life. It was the reason I found the confidence to get all of my other fitness qualifications, and boosted my confidence in all areas of my life, it’s kept me fit, kept me happy, and I’ve met the loveliest people including other instructors and class members.

Looking back a decade my first few classes were so bad! I couldn’t look at anyone, I was just focused on not messing up! I had major imposter syndrome and always wondered what the hell I was thinking becoming an instructor. Now I have fun with my classes and I always look forward to them.

In bad times I’ve always had my classes to keep my smiling and motivate me to do something. I’ve had classes so busy that we don’t fit into the studio, and classes so quiet that I’ve doubted myself, a pandemic that put the fitness industry on hold for a year, and it was my classes that picked me back up after my mum passed away. They’ve taught me so much and I carry the skills with me in every day life.

I’ve had class members telling me how I’ve improved their bad days and made them smile, and I’ve watched them get more and more confident every week. I’m so grateful and I’m currently blessed with three amazing classes every week 🥰💃🏻👯‍♀️

On our ten year anniversary Zumba give us a free training to teach a different format. I’m trying to decide between Zumba Step or Zumba kids.

Come and try my classes at David Lloyd Bristol Westbury on a Monday night at 6:10pm, Move More Fitness on a Tuesday night at 7:15pm, or Greenway Centre on Wednesday mornings at 9:15am 🎊
