About
My Story
Hi, I’m Katy Robinson, creator of ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness!
From a young age I always knew I wanted to dance! When I left school I landed my dream job performing on cruise ships. Feathers, sparkles, show tunes, dancing, travelling the world… I loved it all.
When I returned to my hometown of Sheffield a few years later, I qualified as a fitness instructor. Long story short: I was teaching 40+ classes a week, burnt out, and fell out of love with what I did. I even packed it all in at one point to get a 9 to 5 job to pay the bills. I lost sight of that girl who left school at 18 – excited to follow my dream!
But it wasn’t long until I re-discovered my TRUE purpose: helping women to find something they love to do to get fit. When I heard the statistic that 75% of women avoided exercise due to fear of judgment (Sports England), I knew I needed to do something about it. And this, along with my passion for dance, is when ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness was born.
Our mission is to help as many women as possible to embrace confidence, prioritise self-care, and find JOY in fitness through the magic of musicals and dance!
My unique business model enabled me to replace my full time wage by teaching just 6 classes per week. I support my franchisees to turn THEIR passion for dance into a successful, profitable, and FUN business they love.
At ‘On Broadway’® Dance Fitness, we believe EVERYONE deserves to feel confident, allow time for themselves and find something they love to do to get fit!
