Keep Fit With Valerie

Want to mention that my classes are suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness backgrounds. Whether you are a beginner or have been practising for years, I strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

At Keep Fit with Valerie, our classes are not just about physical fitness, but also about promoting a healthy body and mind. We believe that a regular fitness regime and a nutritionally balanced diet can result in numerous health benefits, such as reduced risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart and lung disease, and osteoporosis. Additionally, our classes aim to improve immune system function, increase vitality and cardiovascular condition, enhance strength and flexibility, improve posture and spinal function, and enhance mental and emotional well-being.

One of our key offerings is our Fusion Pilates classes. These classes combine elements of Pilates, aerobics, and yoga stretches to create a total body workout that targets core strength, spinal and abdominal function, stability, and overall fitness. By incorporating these different disciplines, our classes offer a comprehensive training experience that helps participants build efficiency, progression, and limit joint, muscle, and bone vulnerability.

In addition to the physical benefits, our classes also offer numerous mental health benefits. Regular exercise has been shown to improve alertness, concentration, and sleep patterns, as well as reduce tension and stress levels. By participating in our classes, individuals can experience an increase in confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

Valerie Burns, the owner and instructor at Keep Fit with Valerie, has over fifteen years of experience in the fitness industry. She has instructed a variety of class styles, including aerobics, step, body-conditioning, and indoor group cycling.
