“I absolutely love the online classes, I’ve rarely found the motivation to access ACTUAL classes and always found they don’t work around me, having the online classes has made it easy for me as I can jump straight out of bed and into my fave gym gear, no makeup or fancy hair required. I love having a chat with the ladies on the whatsapp group or before class starts, we always have a giggle and love sharing our snazzy leggings choices!! Being furloughed from work has left me with little fun so interacting with everyone and Zumbaring together makes me feel less alone and motivated and inspired to do more…..I love the fact that I can access the recordings if I’m not feeling up to the LIVE class!! Nicola is always smiling, playing to the camera and keeping us going! I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it xxxxxx”
“I started at Bulkington a year ago and loved it. Nicola is perfect for the job keeps us going and and always smiling. Lockdown has not been easy as I live alone – I already had issues with depression/anxiety etc….so I was worried how I would cope. I am one of the lucky ones to be still working from home and with the opportunity of more sessions of Zumba – I now do 4 times a week it is honestly my lifesaver to actually see people and feel part of a group is definitely helping me and lifts me if I’m feeling flat. So thank you Nicola for keeping the Zumba Community going and me from the bottom of my heart xxxx”
“I love going to the LIVE classes and chatting with friends face to face. However the online classes have kept me sane and fit during lockdown. We can still have a brief chat and a laugh aswell! Plus I am doing 3 classes per week instead of 1. Thanks for setting them up Nicola – a life saver xxx”
“I joined Zumba online with Nicola during national lockdown 2. I was working from home and really not moving a lot. I was really nervous to meet this group of people but let me tell you, it was the best thing I have done. The recordings allow for flexibility when work goes haywire and the live classes are a laugh a minute! Nicola is such an encouraging instructor sharing her own journey openly and allowing everyone to feel welcome! It’s more than an exercise class, it’s a real community! I love it!”
“I have found accessing the online and recorded sessions has given me more motivation to do more classes. Since lockdown I have gone from doing 1 class a week to doing at least 3 sessions every week. I’ve been working all through lockdown and having access to the classes when I want has been a godsend to help de-stress. I have loved accessing the LIVE classes too and the ladies on the whatsapp group have encouraged me to get moving (and buy more Lucy Lockets)”
“I think that online classes are so much less intimidating than walking into your first LIVE class. You can dance around at home wearing what you like as no one can see you. Even if you have 2 left feet like me! Give it a go….I guarantee you will be smiling at the end of your first session.”
“I joined online (and then outside) Zumba classes during the third lockdown, and it was one of the best things I have ever done. I hoped to increase my confidence and improve my fitness, which I have achieved, but have gained so much more than I ever could have imagined. Nicola has created so much more than a fun Zumba class, and what she has developed is an amazing community. I am so happy to be part of a group of women of all ages, sizes, abilities and circumstances who are so accepting and encouraging of each other.
Nicola’s passion for fitness is matched by her infectious personality and she has managed to foster a real sense of friendship within the group, which has been invaluable during Covid times. If you are wondering if this is something for you, I would 100% say go for it and I guarantee you won’t regret it. You will of course learn some new moves and get fitter, but you will gain so much more as well – I am so happy I joined Nicola’s community and would recommend it to anyone wholeheartedly.”
“A friend asked me to join Zumba with her at the Community Centre in Wolston Village where we live. I couldn’t commit to something else as halfway through my degree! Lockdown happened & the classes went online so I went for it! Love it! Not only has it helped me physically but also mentally throughout this awful time! Back at work now & join when I can & do the recordings. So all that is left to say is ‘Thank you Nicola’ from the bottom of my heart x”
