Belle's Community Meet Up

On May 1st fifty community members came together for the very first Belle Meet Up. After two years of working out ‘with’ each other virtually we finally had the chance to meet in person.

Belle and ‘mum’ (Debbi, Belle’s mum has very comfortably accepted that she is now ‘mum’ to not only her two daughters but all the ladies who from Belle’s community) arrived at the Oti Mabuse studio in North West London at 8.30am.

The set up started, balloon arches were being made, food was being delivered and Belle’s photographer was preparing for all the action. After one (rather stressful) hour of setting everything up the very first community members arrived.

After countless hugs, smiles, kisses and an Energy Amino shot we finally got down to business; the workout. Belle started with her legendary Indoor Cardio style of class, 6 exercises back to back, 3 rounds. Milly then took over to put us all through our paces with a 5 minute pilates abs blast! 25 minutes into the workout Belle was ready to take the intensity up. She took back control of the microphone and didn’t disappoint. Three rounds of strength HIIT, we are talking 40 seconds push ups!! With only three minutes left of one hell of a workout, Belle was determined to make the most of these minutes.

“If you are to think of me and my exercises, what do you think of?” A rather out of breath Belle asked.

“Surfer Burpees!”Maureen and Carly shouted from the crowd.

There we have it, the first of the finisher, followed by two more of Belle’s favourites; lightening bolt climbers and ankle taps. 20 seconds on, three rounds. That did the job!

After we had all cooled down a little, we enjoyed a delicious brunch, think chia puddings, banana bread, hummus toast and much more.

The next two hours were for all the members to mingle, reminisce about all the sweaty moments they all have in common and simply get to know one another.

Let’s just say, two hours was not enough! Belle was absolutely blown away by the almost immediate connection, friendship and bond all the members had with one another. We have all been brought together through the power of exercise and as Belle said at the very start and still stands by her word, ‘this is only the very beginning’.

Thank you to all the members who came along, here’s to many more meet-ups, retreats and of course, online workouts!
