Hello & welcome to Fun Fabulous Fitness

Hi, I'm Karen and I created Fun Fabulous Fitness to be just that, FUN! 

I am passionate about creating classes that you will love & enjoy as much as me, which will help both your physical & mental well being.  You will feel and see the difference, whilst discovering muscles you never knew you had!!

Fitness is not just about how your body looks or your flexibility, it's how you feel inside too, that is just as, if not more important. 

Classes are all in my own personal style, lots of banter & laughter, whilst part of my cunning plan to distract you from the amount of work you are actually doing!  I choose venues that are non intimidating without mirrors, to encourage all ages, sizes, genders & abilities.  Classes are caring, sharing, warm & welcoming, with the odd social events here & there.

I took my first fitness qualification 28 years ago to become your typical Aerobics instructor (if only I had kept all those leotards!). In the beginning I taught Aerobics & Step. I then added Kick Aerobics, Zenga & Yoga. Initially I taught a couple of evening classes a week, whilst working full time in a bank. 

The industry was evolving as was my love of Yoga. My life was changing I became a Mum & left the bank which has enabled me to turn my passion into a full time Fitness & Yoga instructor. I embraced Motherhood to add Baby Yoga, Pre & post natal along with childrens fitness to my qualifications. 

I firmly believe you should enjoy what you do hence the combination of fun with fitness. Enjoyment is the key to success & sticking with it.

Please see below the variety of classes I offer, feel free to contact me to discuss anything further.
 CLASS 
DESCRIPTION

 Gentle Yoga

 MY YOGA JOURNEY
I  have been practising yoga for over 12 years, and teaching for 10. Like many of us, I  first came to yoga to combat stress from my job as a Commercial Manager in a bank.

From the moment I  stepped on the yoga mat, I was hooked. It wasn’t just the immediate physical impact I noticed, it was that Yoga also helped me deal with life’s challenges in a more grounded, balanced way. Yoga was body-nourishing, soul-soothing, real-life magic!

I suffered a back injury during the Queens Jubilee, Yoga helped massively in my recovery  & continues to do this for me everyday. I hasten to add I'm not medically trained & you should always consult your GP if in doubt. 

Everyday I  have the privilege of passionately sharing yoga with others who, like me, are sick of feeling less than vibrant, a little stiff with a few aches & pains. I can honestly say Yoga has changed my life. My ability to move freely is something I cherish & thank my daily Yoga practise for.

I honestly believe that Yoga is for everyone the secret is finding your own style, along with a teacher that adds value & enjoyment to your practise. My thoughts on yoga in brief :- " Yoga creates space within the mind. The Yoga breath (Pranayama) brings a sense of calm whilst nourishing the blood with oxygen. The poses (asanas) create the space within the body this brings harmony to the body & mind. Yoga truly brings a sense of well being to all."

I love Yoga & I look forward to sharing this love with you.

Wow, what a difference a week makes, can honestly say that the classes are fantastic. It calms just before that midweek blue day and I always feel so calm afterwards. Karen Groves has the most amazing attitude and makes you feel at complete peace when it’s needed most.
I was gutted I missed last week and so glad I found this class. #funfabulousfitness #yoga #zenga
Tuesday nights are now that space that’s needed as a mum and gives you the best nights sleep ever.

Totally brilliant! I started yoga with Karen at the end of last year and I am now addicted. She’s encouraging, friendly and never makes me feel stupid. Not only do I really enjoy the classes, I also think they’ve really helped with my bad back and migraines. So... win/win. Highly recommend!! Ten out of ten!

I have been attending Karen Groves yoga classes with my husband since she started the class. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Karen is an excellent instructor being very supportive but she also challenges you to reach your personal goals. We would highly recommend to all levels of fitness, abilities, gender and ages. If you are thinking of trying something new or trying to increase your fitness or enhance your mental health we highly recommend her classes

I started going to Karen's zenga and yoga classes some 3 years ago. Although I am in receipt of my state pension, I consider myself reasonably fit and active, having been been involved in sporting activities most of my life. However, I do suffer from a heart condition, and I wanted to ensure that my muscles, especially my heart remain in the best condition possible, and that any stress and worries are minimised. I was a little reluctant intially thinking these were probably ladies classes. I need not have worried, I was made to feel most welcome, the classes are such fun, with banter, laughter, and a relaxed atmosphere. Most important the benefits to my health and wellbeing have been truly outstanding. I now feel nimble, light footed, flexible, at peace with the world, happy and relaxed. Karen is an outstanding teacher, the classes are very fluent, she encourages, supports, and makes the classes a pleasure to attend.

Fun Fabulous Fitness! And that is just what the classes are. I do 6 of Karen’s, the instructor, classes a week. I always look forward to going and never feel “that I can’t be bothered tonight” I was new to the area and knew nobody, joining the classes I now have many new friends. Everybody was welcoming and friendly. No pressure in these classes, you work at your own pace. Karen always has alternatives for moves that you may find difficult at first. I have been to many classes so much fun, you never want the class to finish. Karen is always on hand to help you and give advice. Along with the Yoga/ Zenga classes Karen runs a Legs, Bums n Tums class and a step class. Please come along and give a class a go, I promise you will not be disappointed. See you there!

I have been going to step for 10 years now and throughly enjoy it, with great work outs and drive from Karen. We have all enjoyed giggle and wiggle, my oldest calls it excercise group and wants to go most weeks. Unfortunately, it is was our last Thursday, as she's off to school and I will be at work. Karen, involves the children and encourages the adults to excercise in a fun way. Our favourite songs are shake your sillies out, head shoulders knees and toes, dingle dangle scarecrow and of course baby shark. Thank you Karen for being so motivational.

Karen is an excellent Instructor and offers a diverse range of classes. Her classes are thoroughly enjoyable and leaves you not wanting to miss one.
Her commitment to keeping the classes running during lockdown was amazing. A steep learning curve for both Karen and us!
She always puts the well-being of her students first.
And.....she is an excellent cake baker!
