I’m Sarah and i’m your community fitness instructor both online and in venues in Derbyshire.
Hi I’m Sarah, I’m 55, married with two boys and I pride myself on being a fitness professional who genuinely cares about the health, fitness, and well-being of my clients. I am a fully qualified instructor with many years of experience in the fitness industry and specialise in fitness pilates and strength and resistance classes. I provide fitness classes to suit both women and men and tend to have ‘more mature’ participants who enjoy my relaxed style of teaching.
I am friendly and approachable and strongly believe that fitness should be fun. Over the years I have created my own fitness community where people work out, have fun, and meet friends. I also support community and charity activities throughout the year. I have very loyal clients – many of whom have been with me for years! If you are looking for a really friendly fitness family then please join us. Please get in touch for a no-obligation chat.
Fitness For You is all about local community exercise classes for ‘non-gym’ people, who like to exercise in a social and non-competitive atmosphere
My Classes
Fitness Pilates
Based on the traditional pilates exercises, these classes are functional, building on obtaining better posture and increased mobility. Exercises are done both standing and on the floor.
Fitness Pilates exercises target the whole body, particularly the core. There are different varieties and levels of class to suit participants.
Weighted Workouts
These classes are done using light hand weights/water bottles, resistance bands or equipment free.
Building strength helps protect your joints from injury, helps reduce the risk of bone disease, helps with fatigue and helps burn fat while resting.

LATEST NEWS FROM FITNESS FOR YOU
Pink Pilates – Wear It Pink!
This week, we’re turning our Pilates and Strength classes PINK!
It’s our annual Wear It Pink fundraiser in support of breast cancer awareness and research, and it’s a cause very close to my heart.
Many of my lovely clients have experienced breast cancer or are currently going through treatment. I also have a very close friend who is bravely battling her way through it. Cancer touches so many lives, and I would love us to come together to support everyone affected.
P Is for Pilates!
Of course, I couldn’t let Wear It Pink pass without adding a little fun to our classes! We’re exploring exercises beginning with the letter P, from Posture, Prayer Arms, Plié rotations and squats to Pulses and Pilates-inspired movements.
Our Strength with weights classes will bring some Pink Power with Presses, Pulls, Pecs and Pulses!
Pilates helps us work on mobility, balance, body awareness and core strength, while resistance training helps maintain muscle strength and supports healthy bones as we age and let’s not forget the importance of having fun, moving together and enjoying the wonderful community we create through our classes.
How Can You Help?
Come and join a class in Mickleover, South Derbyshire or online via zoom.
If you’d like to support our Wear It Pink fundraiser, I’d be incredibly grateful for a donation, however small.
You can donate in class or click on this link for my JustGiving fundraising page.
Every contribution helps support vital breast cancer research and those affected by this disease.
Thank you for being part of our lovely community. Let’s wear our pink with pride, enjoy some Pink Pilates and Weights, and make a difference together!
Thank you for your support!
