Smarts & Fitness Belfast 'Zooooomba' for NHS Charities Together
Big thanks to Smarts for inviting me to host their online fundraising event ‘Get Your 'Move' On for the NHS ‘!
I first worked with the Smarts team a few years ago, hosting their agency away day - a proper old school Sports Day!
But with real-life events on hold for the moment, we’re all having to get more inventive online - enter ‘Zooomba’! 😂
A healthy mash up of my Kickass Bootcamp, some great tunes, and some not so great dancing!, it was an awesome way to get their whole team together from their homes across NI & London before the VE Day Bank Holiday.
And even better, it was all fun for a great cause, raising over £600 for NHS Charities Together.
On behalf of Smarts, THANK YOU for stopping by (and dancing!) to donate to NHS Charities at a time when it’s needed the most.
It's our turn to make sure we look after them, to ensure they can keep doing their vital work. Funds raised will be shared across NHS charities' 230 members, including those in Northern Ireland and London.
And extra big thanks to our own 'Mr Motivator' Gary from www.fitnessbelfast.com for his contribution and helping us get our 'move' on.
Emma, Smarts Communicate

Our 4-week Kickass Bootcamp programme is go with the great team at Belfast Harbour – and what a setting it is with sessions taking place outdoors, right behind the historic Belfast Harbour Commissioners office, alongside the historic winch and anchor – it's not your average gym backdrop!

We were absolutely buzzing to be back at the Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke Red Dress Fun Run at Stormont Estate, leading the official warm-up for the second year running!
The Red Dress Fun Run is one of their biggest fundraising events of the year, and being part of it has quickly become a calendar highlight for us. This year's event saw around 600 participants turn Stormont Estate into a wave of red on Sunday 22nd March!
We're delighted that our online Yoga Fundamentals partnership with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive has been going strong now for just around 3 years, and keeps going :)

Had the best time at Decathlon Belfast last Saturday for their annual Play Days event. Hosting a Kickass Bootcamp workout for adults showcasing all the awesome strength training equipment on offer was my intention. In reality, so many mini Bootcamp Superstars turned up we shifted to playing head shoulders knees toes & cones & singing Lava Chicken from the Minecraft Movie instead!

Nestled in Belfast City Centre beside the site of the old Dublin Road cinema 😭 is Bankmore Square. The perfect spot for an al fresco lunch, an outdoor meeting, and for some TRX rowing, bench burpeeing outdoor Kickass Bootcamp fun as part of Bankmore Squares Summer Events programme.
