Every two years the Keep Fit Association holds it’s National Championship competition highlighting the talent and skills of its members. Extending over two days, up to 400 competitors perform in solo, duo, trio and teams across eight categories of Fitness, Exercise, Movement and Dance.
We returned to The Albert Hall in Nottingham for the 2017 Championships and we all watched in awe the performances and agree that we, at the KFA certainly know how to throw a celebration of exercise, movement and dance.
