\n Yvonne Rolfe, 47, of Y Fitness, was awarded Best Fitness Instructor for the South East at the Heart and Soul Awards on July 5 in Aberdeen after her students nominated her.\n<\/p>\n
\n Once nominated, Yvonne submitted a video about her business to the judges and dedicated it to her late brother, a fitness instructor who died 15 years ago.\n<\/p>\n
\n Yvonne said: \u201cThe award was a great honour, very unexpected, I\u2019m as proud as punch.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI don\u2019t just do it for me, I\u2019ve got a great bunch of guys and ladies behind me.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n She joked that since her win, she has been getting her students to curtsey when she begins teaching, although they\u2019re getting ‘a bit tired’ of it now.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cI was so shocked and pleased, I\u2019m going to ride on this for a year.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Yvonne has been teaching fitness for five years, persisting through the COVID-19 lockdown by leading street fitness to the neighbours in her cul-de-sac.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cWe were exercising six days a week for 17 weeks.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt gave me a chance to practice learning and gave everyone something to look forward to.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
