The Power Of The BOOKING!
IF YOU BOOK onto a class, either Online or in person, you are 97.7% more likely to show up and do the workout, stick to your fitness plan, enjoy being in company of like minded people - yes, this includes online too! Feel GREAT for hours after! So, OK I completely made that statistic up .... but you get the idea! Our booking system is great - book early to avoid the waitlists (this time of year we do get a few...), and THEN, if life conspires against you, book OFF and get a f

Yoga Curious? 🧘
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,

🔥Why Is Pilates So HOT Right Now?
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!!!
