Knowle<\/a> West, which will see him take classes as people get involved in everything from \u2018clubbercise\u2019 with glo-sticks in a disco room to seated fitness class led by an instructor with cerebral palsy.<\/p>\nThe star of GMTV in the 1990s, Mr Motivator – real name Derrick Evans – is a household name for a generation of Britons, and is reputed to have sold the most fitness DVDs in the UK.<\/p>\n
He was awarded an MBE in 2020 and has made something of a comeback during and since the Covid pandemic, with regular TV appearances.<\/p>\n
The fitness event in Knowle West is called Remix Fitness Festival – it will take place on June 6, and Mr Motivator will be there all day as 13 different classes take place.<\/p>\n
The event is being organised by Amanda Pickstock from Revive Fitness Classes. It was staged last year, without Mr Motivator, and was a huge success.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Motivator will be appearing with his own fitness session and spending the day at the event,\u201d said Amanda. \u201cWe will be promoting getting active, with 13 different 30-minute varied fitness sessions, from Clubbercise with Glow sticks in a disco room to Rockbox Fitness with Drumsticks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have seated fitness with local West Country girl Sam James, who is a disabled fitness instructor with Cerebral Palsy. She will be delivering her Inclusit session. Plus, there will be many other National Fitness brand and local talent running sessions on the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Motivator will be doing a talk about \u2018staying fit and taking care of yourself as you age\u2019 and we will be attracting over 200 people locally and from across the country,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The 73-year-old recently launched a Bed Bank Charity, and will be appearing a day after the launch of a charity single for this cause that he recorded with drag queen Latina Ballroom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe ran this event without Mr M last year and it was a great success with people age 16 to 76 taking part, so this year is going to be bigger and better. It\u2019s a real success story for Knowle and our little fitness business,\u201d Amanda added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Remix Fitness Festival will last all day The Park Centre in Knowle West and, inset, Mr Motivator,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,1048,407,84,107820,107823,171,107822],"class_list":{"0":"post-603306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-events","11":"tag-fitness","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-knowle","14":"tag-knowle-west","15":"tag-people","16":"tag-south-bristol"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
