The routines are broken down so that everyone, no matter what their ability, can learn and feel like they’re in their own music video! The lights are off and the disco lights are on! It’s alsoa fantastic full body cardio workout, burning 700-900 calories in an hour’s class. The Turn’d Up experience takes you somewhere that no other class can.

• Wowing your class
• Perfecting your Cues/Prompts
• Expanding on Emotion, Energy and Clarity of performance.

We will then work with you in groups and in-depth on an individual basis, to bring out the absolute best in you as an instructor. Through practical sessions, we will drill you so that you are ready for your performance assessment.

Testimonials
Brilliant! You’ve decided to go for it! The real bonus of joining Turn’d Up Fitness (that we forget when we get to have this much fun) is that you get to do something you love and get paid for it!
Our instructors are all self employed and are responsible for running their own small fitness businesses. It’s down toyou to chose your venue, attract members, manage your social media and ensure you have the correct insurance andlicenses in place.
You have the flexibility to decide how many classes, location/times and to pick your own playlists from the hundreds of routines we have. So it really does become YOUR class.
Some of our experienced instructors get 40+ women per class and teach three classes a week. So the earning potential is great!
Managing projects by day and Turnin’ Up by night is what I love to do! I realised I was coming to live in Australia after doing Turn’d Up classes for 5 months (i’d put them off for 2 years). I just knew I had to qualify and take this amazing programme over the other side of the world and share it with as many people as possible.
It really has changed my life without even realising. Now, I am so comfortable in my own body, I never even think about fad diets or my squishy bits. I just absolutely love every workout I do, and embrace every little part of my body, lumps, cellulite and all!
I have been teaching in Sydney for just 4 months and my gang in that time has developed soo much! It’s the most rewarding thing in the world seeing my Queens grow in confidence move to the front of the class and literally promote my classes wherever they go, as (like me) they have become obsessed with the Turn’d UpFeeling.
I will be teaching two classes a week starting next week, and it means I can start sharing this amazing program with even more incredible people!

My Turn’d Up journey started 5 years ago when I met Shekira ather class in Cardiff. From the first moment, she totally inspired me – her confidence, total passion and dedication to Turn’d up soon became infectious!
5 years later, I have 3 years teaching experience in Cardiff and am now living and teaching in Spain, as a master instructor!
Through the ups and downs of life, the trials, triumphs and tests- Turn’d up fitness has always been my go to. Even 5 years later, I feel energised and filled with passion for dance every time I put on the Turn’d Up hat and dance away!
I have loved every moment of being an instructor – from meeting Shekira, watching strong, fierce women smashing it and becoming instructors and dancing with everyone who’s attended my classes.
Turn’d Up Fitness is more than a class, it is community of like-minded women who just want to have fun and pass on good vibes only (whilst getting insanely strong and fit).
Now I teach Loca Mamas Turn’d Up Fitness and it’s amazing to watch women from all different cultures being brought together through their love of dance.
Whether you’re a total beginner, looking to just get fit or wanting to find your vibe, I can’t recommend Turn’d Up enough.
As cheesy as if sounds, I genuinely feel blessed to have found this passion and am so happy for all the women who have found it too. Thank You Shekira!!
