Keeping Our Classes Going Safely Through the Heatwave
Oh my daysssss! 🔥 When it gets this hot, fitness should feel good, not risky. Classes are still running, with a full schedule for the mornings, but the pace is dialling down a bit for the evening classes, when the temperature is hotter. The aim is to keep moving, stay connected with our fitness routine, and look after the body while the heatwave passes. A couple of the high intensity sessions are cancelled on Wed & Thur which is the peak of the heat, but there is still plent

Transition Complete...App Pending ⏩️
Hi Everyone! Thanks for you patience as we have switched software providers to the TeamUp system .... it's actually gone very smoothly overall and I hope you are finding it intuitive and straight forward. The Flin's Fitness App This is coming - hoping this week! There has been some activity on my dashboard from TeamUp's app development side which is a good sign!

❗️Important Info Re Class Booking❗️
Hi There, Well after a disappointing year with the BSport booking system, I am happy to be returning to an improved TeamUp service from WED JULY 1st. The reasons I am returning to TeamUp are twofold: 1) The BSport FF branded app can no longer continue on the Apple side, unless I changed my business operation to comply with Apple developer accounts. This is not something I was willing to do, when there are no such problems on TeamUp. 2) The back office on BSport is quite trick

The Secret To Being Fit! 🤫
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
