Meet Our Team

Describe yourself as an instructor - I'm Gary, and I have been taking Jazzercise classes since 2017 and love keeping fit and dancing. My passion and focus is helping people change their lives to achieve their fitness goals in the simplest and most realistic way possible with Jazzercise. I chose to become a Jazzercise instructor in 2020 because I believe everyone deserves the right to good health and be happy with themselves inside and out, and for me, Jazzercise has been the main factor in my journey and now I want to share this with others.

Teaching since - Qualified as an Instructor on 15 April 2020, and Owner at Jazzercise Cambourne and Hardwick since end of 2020.

Kids/ Pets -  I have three adorable fur babies, a rescued domestic long haired cat from Battersea, his name is Bow and he is 18 years old, full of life and acts like a kitten, a Blue British Short Hair, his name is HRH Prince Harry the cat and he is 13 years old and too posh for his own good, and our youngest fur baby son is Misneach, (pro-nouned Mish-noc – which is Irish and means ‘Courage’) he is just turning 1 years old and just loves to play.

Other Hobbies - Playing the piano, violin and guitar, and travelling to amazing countries around the world, steeped in history and rich in culture. I also love horse riding, walking, gardening, socialising with friends, family and parties!

What got you into Jazzercise?  The previous owner Dana introduced Jazzercise at my old workplace, and a few of us got hooked, in fact Niki. J was one! Since then we clearly love it as we are both Instructors now.

Something Unique - Apart from my love and passion for Jazzercise! My other passion in life is cars. I have owned over 70 cars since passing my driving test in 1997, some have been classics like an 1984 Volkswagen Jetta, or a first release 1981 5 door Range Rover Classic, I have owned classic Austin, Citroen, Fiat, Opel Kadet, Vauxhall, Ford, Jaguar, Audi, Land Rover, you name it, I have owned it! Currently on the lookout for my next project!

Fav Class Format - Absolutely cannot beat Sculpt strength classes, but to get the blood really flowing... you should try out my Cardio Sculpt classes!

Describe yourself as an instructor - My motivation to become an instructor is that I strongly believe in lifestyle medicine, with exercise being at the core of this. So I aim to make my classes as friendly and accessible as possible to anyone looking for a low impact form of exercise, giving modifications if you need it.

What do your customers say about you as an instructor? Smiley with long legs!

Something unique – I have served canapes to Sir Terence English, the surgeon who performed the first successful heart transplant in the UK.

Fav Class Format - I love it all but I’d say Lo Cardio Sculpt if I had to choose.

Describe yourself as an instructor - I am passionate about creating a safe space for people to come and workout in. Everyone needs a place they can switch off for an hour or so and dance their stresses away. I would say I am energetic, professional and funny (although my children and hubby may disagree with the funny bit).

What got you into Jazzercise?  Wanted to keep fit in a fun way and the gym just didn't appeal. Little did I know that two years later I would be a qualified fitpro teaching Jazzercise.

Something Unique - I love listening to The Archers on Radio 4.

Fav Class Format - Power Sculpt. I love the mix of cardio and strength.

Describe yourself as an instructor -  I love to laugh, so I try to make my classes as much fun as possible….laughter is also a stealthy ab workout! But I also like to make sure everyone is getting the most out of class, so I try to add that extra layer of instruction to keep everyone working hard, but also working safely.

What do your customers say about you as an instructor? Our customers say my classes are fun but hard. There is nothing I love more than hearing the groan from floor when we are working parts of our body we forgot we had! I also love a good misheard lyric, and also an air instrument, and you will find definitely find a lot of these in my classes, all adds to the fun. And when you are in your car, and that song comes on, and you are transported back to class singing that misheard lyric – that connection just makes customers want to come back time and time again.

Day Job - By day I am a Purchasing Manager. I look after a team of 5 buyers, sourcing electronic components and mechanical parts from all over the world, but mostly from the far east. So I do get to travel with my job, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan.....but generally it is all airports and meeting rooms, so not as glam as it sounds.

Kids/Pets - I have a daughter, Annabel, who is now at University in Leeds studying Creative Advertising. I have 2 dogs, Vernon and Ethel. They are my fur babies!! And 2 chickens, Hilda & Evadne – they are rescue hens who have a happy life scratching round the garden, still laying each day.

Other hobbies - Dog walking, reading, running, lots of DIY & gardening (our renovation project is endless), flying and boating.

Something unique - I have a pilot’s licence, and when the good old British weather permits, my husband and I fly around the UK for tea and cake at other airfields.

Fav Class Format - I love to dance, but I am also a dedicated strength girl, so I would say Power Sculpt definitely hits the spot for me.

Describe yourself as an instructor - I like to challenge myself and my customers with new routines and varied movements but only enough to keep us all on our toes without getting too lost.

What do your customers say about you as an instructor?  Friendly and professional with a hint of humour especially when it gets tough!
