Fitsteps with Donna in Exeter & East Devon

19/09/2026

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well. Won't be long before we shimmy back on to our dance floor! 💛✨️💛

We've now got some Sparkle into our Autumn evenings as STRICTLY is back tonight! 👏🤩👏

This year I am going to run the Strictly Competition the same as last year and the winner could win £100 just before Christmas 👌🎉

But it won't be a 'pick the winner/name out of a hat' type of competition' Its a SILENT entry! Here are the rules and details....

£10 per entry

Simply pick who you think will win this year!

Message me ✨️✨️PRIVATELY✨️✨️ with the celebrity name you think will win

You need to pick your winner and message me their name PRIOR to the first live show being aired on Saturday 26th September. It's the launch show tonight, so that may help with your decision!

Transfer your £10 using the reference Strictly Competition

Those who picked the winning contestant will be entered into a prize draw, the day after the final, (I will do it Live on my business Page) and will win £100! (there will be only 1 winner).

100% of the remaining funds taken, will be donated to the Wedding Wishing Well Foundation based in Exeter.

You can have multiple entries! £10 per contestant. Anyone can enter - not just class members. Get your family involved too 😍

Hopefully more than 10 of you will enter, so there will be money left to donate to this wonderful local charity.

❣️FITSTEPS FAMILY❣️ Well and truly out in force today! 🌟🌟🌟 I'm still on crutches & an unscheduled urgent visit to the hospital to check the operated foot meant my lovely hubby couldn't take me. So the Fitsteps Family to the rescue!! 🤩

The amazing Elaine (Winkleigh Fitsteps Instructor) picked me up this morning to get me to the train station. Then one of my fabulous members collected me to get me to my appointment. Whilst there one Fitstepper came to sit and wait with me and another gem who works there came and checked in on me after the appointment too 😍💞 What amazing people I know. Our community is so blooming awesome 🙏✨️🙌

Then I hobbled into The Imperial for a drink with a few members before catching the train home and was greeted by this wonderful lot!! Made my day. Missing everyone so much.

Big thank you to you all 🌟❣️ We'll be Back - and its gonna be awesome!! 🎶💃🎶
