Keeping Our Classes Going Safely Through the Heatwave
Oh my daysssss! π₯ 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

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.

βοΈImportant Info Re Class BookingβοΈ
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

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.

The Secret To Being Fit! π€«
More workouts? More Intensity? Exercise for longer? It's actually pretty straightforward - and you probably already know the answer....! β
Consistency is the key! π 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

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

Hi There, A BORING news blog today, however unfortunately needs to be done! π 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

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
