They say a change is as good as a rest. Well, we’ve given you both! After a few days of closure and with the first phase of our revamp complete, it’s now full steam ahead as we launch into spring.

January can feel like the cruellest month, not to mention the longest. But it’s over! If you’re anything like us, you’re ready to put it behind you and raring to get your teeth into the rest of the year, which is shaping up to be very exciting indeed.

We’ve decided not to make resolutions this year. Instead we’re focusing on what we do best: personal training, small group PT and classes that all get standout results.

Come and celebrate another knock out year, enjoy a glass of bubbly and mince pies post workout... if you can’t make a class pop in anyway we’d love to see you!
