A bit about Bev
Hi, my name is Bev. I’ve been into fitness for most of my life. I started gymnastics at the age of 5 and continued until I was 16, alongside horse riding, which I still enjoy today.
At 18, I began attending a keep fit class and training in an old-school gym. Not long after, aerobics arrived on the scene – back then, classes were done to records! It was when I started going to aerobics and step classes with an instructor called Margaret Heath that I became really interested in teaching.

I began my YMCA Exercise to Music course in 1993, qualified in 1994, and I’ve been teaching ever since – I absolutely love my job. Over the years, I’ve completed many courses, including Aerobics, Step, BodyMax (a weights class before Les Mills BodyPump came to the UK), Khai Bo (kickbox aerobics), Spin, Fitness Pilates, Fitball, Aqua, Gym Level 2, Personal Training, Clubbercise, Metafit and Circuit Training.
I currently teach Aerobics, Aqua Fit, Spinning®, Core, Pilates and Body Sculpt at Kidsgrove.

I love working here. The staff are lovely and the members are amazing. They’ve all made me feel so welcome since I started just over two years ago. We have such a good laugh as well as working hard.
I’ve made lots of friends here, too. It really does feel like a second family.
