Mash-It-Up Dance Fitness

As a professional dancer and fitness coach from the UK, I have taught mass-produced fitness classes for many years. Les Mills, Nike, Reebok, Radical Fitness, Zumba, you name it, I've taught it and although some formats were more fun than others, I realised that they all had something in common - they were all so serious. In fact, the whole health and fitness scene was very serious. Women, in particular, seemed to get the worse end of the deal too, so much pressure to achieve results, so much added stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety never leads anyone in the right direction so I decided to break away from the mainstream industry and do what I do best - create something new with fun, freedom and no rules as pre-requisites.
Mash-It-Up was born.
I began teaching Mash-It-Up around fifteen years ago in the UK, although it's been known by many names. I personally devise and choreograph all of the routines in my classes, so I can vouch for their safety and their effectiveness.
My emphasis is on fun, feeling good and creating a safe space for you to move your body without judgement. Forget the masculine attitude of punishment and reward, the carrot on a stick, the do this to get this scenario, it doesn't work with women. We're finally beginning to understand that we need to be kinder and gentler with ourselves. If we're not enjoying what we're doing, we set up resistance in our bodies and that in turn, creates stress, anxiety and even physical ailments such as inflammation and eventually pain. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot!
Mash-It-Up is a class that encourages you to fall in love with exercise and with your body and that's the only result you need. When you love your body and you're not blaming it for everything, all the other stuff just falls into place. Trust me!
So break the rules. Break routine. Break the mould. Join the Mash Revolution!
