Pink Ribbon Warriors organise fitness fundraiser

A group of local fitness instructors have come together to hold a monster fitness workout to raise vital funds to support Mayo Pink Ribbon and the Irish Cancer Society.

The event will take place on Sunday (April 28) from 2 to 5 p.m. in An Sportlann, Castlebar, when four Zumba instructors from across Mayo - Lorraine, Pascale, Janette and Diane - bring you through four different styles of dance fitness.

In addition, Michelle from So Shelly Fitness and owner of The Health Hub in Swinford along with Melissa from Morley’s Motivation will demo their individual styles of fitness and will chat to participants about their fitness goals and fitness aims. Both are qualified in many areas of fitness instruction, diet and personal training.

The afternoon will also sample Pilates with Natalie, so bring an exercise mat. It will end with a calming cool down from Noreen of Noga Yoga. Noreen’s unique style and relaxation techniques will stretch participants out and leave all feeling fresher and reenergised.

Each instructor will take 15 to 20 minutes each on the stage. Come for them all or come and sample one or two - the choice is yours.

Carina from It’s a Natural Choice will have a stand at the event and will have delicious juices freshly made for you to sample during the event.

Suzanne from Anatomy Physiotherapy will also be available to speak to attendees. Suzanne is a physiotherapist and specialises in women's, men's and pelvic health.

This event is for all levels of fitness; you can go at your own pace throughout. It is an ideal sampler if you are looking for a new fitness regime or just want to enjoy an afternoon of fitness fun. The event is for men and women.

Boots have donated goodie bags that will have treats from various businesses locally. There will be lots of spot prizes and much fun to be had.
