Retrorobics Comes To Durban Get Fit And Have Fun
Giving a thumbs down to the usual exercise grind, Eugene, aka David Gouldie,is turning back the clock to a time when getting fit was a whole lot more fun.
Think luminous lycra, high energy music, boom boxes, headbands and hot moves. "The 80s brought us a revolution in the fitness industry where exercise became more social and not just what you did to build muscles and earn Brownie points," says Eugene.
With a background spanning dance, choreography, fashion shows, events musical theatre, he is putting the fun back into fitness with exercise classes which can be enjoyed with friends and family in Durban's great outdoors.
"I'm calling it Retrorobics, a nod to those retro aerobics classes which got people of all ages off the couch and stepping up and out," he says.
Season 1 will take place every Saturday for six weeks, from 8am to 9am outside Surf Riders on Durban's South Beach.
An added bonus is that all participants will get 20% off a hearty breakfast at Surf Riders from 9am to 10am.
Then, for those who prefer evening exercise, Eugene will take over Bulwer Park (behind the NSA Gallery) on Mondays from 5pm to 8pm in December.
"It's about getting out, getting your groove on and going for gold," said Eugene. "Entrance is free, but donations are welcome!"
