What a month of sport we have coming up! Movement is one of the most natural and rewarding parts of being a human, whether you are kicking a football, swinging a tennis or padel racket, or yes! taking part in a fitness class, your body responds, adapts, and grows stronger. Sports and exercise remind us that we are amazing machines capable of changing both our body shape AND our mindset - how incredible is that?! Different activities push the body in different ways, but always

More workouts? More Intensity? Exercise for longer? It's actually pretty straightforward - and you probably already know the answer....! ✅ Consistency is the key! 🔑 The workout that you do when you're tired ... the class you nearly cancel because you're too busy, but you go anyway ... the sofa calling when it's cold or wet out, but you get your trainers on and push yourself out the door .... we have all been there! I know I speak for my whole team of instructors when I say t

Great news for community fitness in amongst the budget and high end gyms - EMDUK, the national governing body for group exercise, states that group exercise is now the most popular form of fitness activity in England: "7.2 million adults (classed as anyone over 16) confirmed that they had taken part in some form of fitness class in the last 28 days from when they were surveyed between November 2024 – November 2025. Overall, compared to the same period from 2023-2024, that’s a

It's a warm week ahead!

Hiya, A brief "montage" from today's freebie dance event!

So come for the fun and the energy - exercise never felt LESS like exercise! We have: Zumba & Zumba Gold with Kelly Dance

Hi There, A BORING news blog today, however unfortunately needs to be done! 😐 Westcombe Park venue: First the good news! The gas works are not going to shut the approach road after all! So we can still easily get access to the WP car park. BUT!! There is a film crew in attendance from Tuesday 12th, meaning that we will have reduced spaces. Usually a marshal will be there to assist us, so hopefully not too disruptive. Tubbenden Classes in the Main Hall: There is a problem wit

Hi there, A while ago, some of my lovely clients helped me beta test my app and in return they got a couple of classes each to use or gift to friends or family. One of our Yoga guys, Pete, has an unlimited membership and has offered to gift his two classes to anyone who might be Yoga curious and ready to dip their toes! (What a lovely gesture 🥰). If you are "Yoga Curious", our new instructor Eithne (Ef), has started a Slow Flow Yoga class, especially suitable for beginners,

Hiya, Pilates is such a massive fitness trend at the moment, but it has been around for many years in the fitness industry. The "OG" Joseph Pilates first started teaching his method in 1925. It's incredible to think that this is over 100 years ago! Science and knowledge brings many evolved versions of the original methodology - rightly so, after 100 years!!! These days, we teach hybrid styles of Pilates, according to the creative skills of the fitness or pilates instructor, a
