Nearly there....

Thank you so much for all of your enthusiastic messages about when we'll be back out in the park again!

Our first session in South Park Gardens will be at 6.15am this Thursday, unless you hear otherwise from us. There are still a number of legislation issues that we're waiting for clarification on from our governing body (CIMPSA).

In the meantime, don't forget to sign-up and join our Zoom sessions (£12 for a week or £44 for the whole of December). You can purchase online here.

Kate will be getting everyone working up a sweat tomorrow at 9.00am, so make sure you join her in your living room/kitchen or garden. If you aren't receiving the Zoom links, drop me a line.

I'd like to thank the whole of the HA fitness community for your continued support during this pretty challenging year!

Our live online timetable

Focusing on what we CAN do, rather than what we can't, here's our Zoom timetable for the rest of the week.

Kate is fired up and ready to train you in your living room, kitchen or garden at 9am tomorrow morning. Why not get your whole family involved!

Our Zoom sessions are just £12 a week. Or £44 for the rest of November. Every week you'll get unlimited access to:

• 8 HIIT/Bootcamp classes

• 3 Stretch & Restore classes

• 1 Cardio Pilates class

• 1 Cardio Core class

• 5 Amazing Personal Trainers.

You'll also be able to join our 28 Day Lock down Challenge (join us today and find out about my sleep confessions!). Our private HA Facebook group is also where we'll be saving a few workouts a week for you to do in your own time.

If you're new to our Zoom classes, you're very welcome to join us for a week for FREE. Just drop me a line to let me know.

If you'd like to sign-up, head over to our purchase page, or drop me a line for more info.

The HA team have got your back. We'll get through this together.

I'm doing this for me

With so much going on, there's all the more reason to ensure we look after our mental and physical health at the moment.

So here’s my idea. A 28 day lock down challenge. Everyday you take time out to do something to boost your fitness. It could be anything from a run, walk, HIIT workout, Pilates class or stretch session.

Over in our private Facebook group, I’ll be sharing fitness inspiration ideas and hopefully make you smile over the next 28 days.

Each day I’ll give you a little nudge to help motivate you to be active. It won’t be full blown workouts (you can join us on Zoom for that!), just little prompts and activities to keep you inspired.

Along the way, there may well be awesome days, overwhelming days and exhausted days. But the idea is, everyday you’ll hopefully go to bed thinking, today I did something for me today.

Fancy joining us? Message us and I'll send you a link to the private group. You just need to be signed up to our Zoom sessions (either weekly or for the whole month) to have access.

Drop me a line if you have any questions.

Training online - further update

We’re still awaiting a full update from our governing body, however I can confirm tomorrow’s class at 6.15am will be on Zoom.

The HA team will be working extra hard over the next 4 weeks to connect, inspire and motivate you all in the best way we possibly can!

• 5 highly qualified instructors

• 13 live online classes a week

• Everything from High Intensity HIIT, to Core, to Stretch and Restore.

• £12 per week all inclusive. Or £44 for the rest of November.

Sign up on our website here!

We'll try our best to keep you both physically and mentally fit throughout lock down.

Training outside - fitness update

It's now looking pretty certain that we will no longer be outside from Thursday (although not 100% confirmed).

Time to sign-up for our Zoom live online timetable! Benefit from 5 very different highly qualified instructors running sessions live into you kitchen/living room throughout lock down.

13 classes a week. Monday through to Saturday. Early mornings, late mornings, lunchtimes and evenings. Everything from High Intensity HIIT, to Core to Stretch and Restore.

The timetable will be updated on our website later today. It will look the same, but will just have 6.15am on Thursday and 9.00am on Saturday included.

£12 per week all inclusive. Or £44 for the rest of November.

Sign up on our website here!

We'll try our best to keep you both physically and mentally fit throughout lock down.

CARDIO CORE: Live online tonight!

CARDIO CORE is live online tonight with the highly talented Laura!

This class goes far beyond your basic crunch. You'll identify your core, engage it and extend up from it.

Promoting both strength and flexibility, these sessions will help you to develop and maintain a good posture and avoid lower back issues. Laura makes it all great fun too.

Join Laura on Zoom at 7.30pm tonight.

If you've not signed up to one of our Zoom packages this week, there's still time. If you're totally new to our Zoom timetable, you're very welcome to join us for a week's free trial. Just drop us a line and we can send you the details.

Happy training!

Our new Members' Hub

We've decided to put more resources into our Members’ Hub (our private online Facebook Group).

This was originally set up as a place to save some of our recorded Zoom classes during lock-down. We're now going to also include all of the things we often don't get time to go through during our classes. There will be a different focus each week.

This week will be all about "engaging your core", and how simply "pulling your navel back to your spine" isn't actually doing the job you need it to, and could even cause you some problems.

We'll teach you how to invite all of your core muscles to the party. This will help to improve overall core strength, reduce back problems and is especially relevant to new (and not so new) mums.

The Members’ Hub is accessible to everyone who has signed up to our Monthly Live On Zoom, Monthly Mini Combo and our Monthly Unlimited packages (see below). There's still time to sign-up if you haven't done so already!

To be added to the Members’ Hub, look up HA fitness Online on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/251327246162495).

In other news, Antonio is taking a well deserved break this week. So Kate and I will be covering his Live Online Zoom classes. All of the times will stay the same.

Drop me a line if you have any questions or queries?

Happy Training,

HA fitness training - indoors or outside

The HA fitness banner continues to fly!

With the PM now urging everyone to work from home, we realise some people's schedules are about to change, yet again.

The good news is, HA fitness isn't changing (well for the time being anyway).

If you're working from home, our live online class timetable is designed to fit around your busy working day.

You can join us on Zoom for an energetic HIIT style class at 6.15am, 7am or 9am. Then take a break from your desk for a lunchtime Stretch and Restore or Cardio Pilates session. One evening a week we also have a Cardio Core class, which is not only a fab workout, but a great stress buster too!

If you'd prefer to be outside, we're got 4 Fit In The Park classes a week in South Park Gardens. We’re delighted to say that these sessions will continue to run as they are socially distanced and follow the COVID-19 secure guidelines. They’re also lots of fun too.

Drop us a line if you’d like to book a free trial or have any questions etc.

Happiness is....training with you both indoors and outdoors!

Cracking morning so far! Loved seeing so many of you on Zoom at 6.15am this morning.

Looking forward to working out with a few more of you in real life in South Park Gardens at 9.30am.

And then I’m slowing things down with a deep stretch on Zoom at 1pm.

Happy days!!

Back to school and changes in routine - don't forget to give yourself 'me' time

Last week was a happy week for many, as the kids finally shuffled their way back into school.

We know that a few of you also returned to that slightly strange place called "The Office" again.

Although all of these changes are seen as progress, it's also important to hold onto some of those positive routines which we all developed over the last 6 months. Like ensuring that you take time out for yourself to both exercise and rest.

We hope that our online and park timetable suits a changing world, where schedules are evolving. Here's what we've got planned for this week:
