Theme – Friday 13th

The scene was set to scare our members and when they entered the GF room at 5.30pm on Friday the 13th March, it was with a little apprehension and uncertainty!!

The room was pitch dark, filled with smoke and smelled musty, laser lights showed glimpes of  scary monsters up by the stage and the wicked laughter of a vampire greeted us all!!

Our instructors hid in the room as our members came in and tapped people on the shoulder, rattled the punching bag chains, jumped out at them and sent many a child (and adults) heart-rate through the roof!

Graeme was dressed in a skeleton suit, Jess was the Grim Reaper, Stephanie was a Zombie, while Anna, Sarah & Ngaio were the Red Devils. Lisa and Brenda made great witches and Sue’s spider outfit was awesome! Dwayne looked like he had just come back from the grave – his face makeup was so real like!! – A big thank you to Jo Corke (our make-up artist) for making us look so ugly and scary!! – you did a fabulous job!

The order of our 1.5 hour Multi class was as follows.-
Balance 3 tracks, Combat 3 tracks, BodyVive 2 Tracks, Step 2 tracks, Pump 3 tracks and Jam 2 tracks. At the same time, RPM was in full swing upstairs for 45 mins.
We had our trainees up on stage with us this launch who did wonderfully well and didn’t show any signs of nerves. The outfits proved hard to stay on though – witch outfits are not designed for physical activity and Skeletons don’t like to wear microphones!!

We had a good turnout.  Sadly, the night had to come to an end and we had to take off the make-up and return to our normal selves. Gosh, it was so much fun to dress up and become someone else for the night!!.

A big thank you to our members for attending our launch, Jo Corke, our fantastic team of  instructors and trainees and to Jess for organising all the theme props.  It was a fun and very successful night. 

Lets enjoy the new releases over the next month – Step 75, Pump 69, RPM 42, BodyVive 10 and so on!
