(Sunshine not guaranteed)
We received this lovely message last week from one of our mums:
"I can’t say how important these Buggyfit sessions were when on mat leave with my two boys. They made me get up and out, get fit and feel motivated. Always followed by a coffee and a cathartic mum-moan, they became one of highlights of my week. The friends I met there are still friends and I have even kept up with the lovely trainers for personal training sessions. Book in or turn up, you won’t be disappointed 👍. They will be there rain or shine!"
If you're a new mum and would like to try out a class for free, meet us here every Monday and Thursday:
9.30am South Park Gardens
11.00am Wimbledon Park
All levels and abilities will be made very welcome!
Looking forward to The Big Push tomorrow on Wimbledon Common with NCT Wimbledon & District!
Why don't you join us us for a 5K buggy walk this Sunday to raise money to develop and improve mental health services for parents?
Tickets are just £5. AND if you enter as part of our Buggyfit team, you’ll also receive a FREE BUGGYFIT T-SHIRT to wear on the day plus 2 CLASS PASSES!
Unfortunately, many parents suffer in silence and don’t get the support they need, often reaching crisis point. When a new mum or dad suffers from any form of mental health problem, the effects can be devastating for the whole family.
The Wimbledon and District Big Push event is in support of the NCT's Hidden Half campaign, which is fighting for a change to the six-week postnatal checks making sure that new mothers are not overlooked, and that any mental health problems get picked up sooner. Some of the funds raised will also go to each participating branch so they can support perinatal mental health issues in their local area.
All you need to do is register online here
If you'd like to donate to this excellent cause, head over to the justgiving page:.
Hope to see lots of our Buggyfit Mums there tomorrow. We'll be meeting at the Tea Rooms at 9.30am for a 10.00am start.
Absolutely stunning morning in Wimbledon Park for Buggyfit today!
Well done to all of our mums for working out so hard. And well done to all of the babies and little ones for allowing their mums a little bit of “me time” this morning.
We’re back in Wimbledon Park again for our Buggyfit postnatal classes next week on Mondays and Thursdays at 11am. Also in South Park Gardens on the same days at 9.30am.
See you there!

It's meant to be the hottest day of the year so far today, wahoo!
This has got to be the best time of year to be outside exercising. You're surrounded by so many natural motivators. Fresh air to boost your energy levels. Sunny skies to lift your mood. And new colours bursting through to make you smile.
It's time to catch a little spring fever - join us!
We have 2 great BootCamps coming up in Wimbledon Park and South Park Gardens. We've also got a few places left on our Strengthen, Stretch & Restore Course which starts tomorrow night.
To get your full quota of exercise and sunshine, have a look at our Buggyfit and Fit In The Park class timetable. Which classes can you do this week? As always, you're welcome to drop-in on any of these timetabled sessions, but it does work out cheaper to buy one of our class passes online.
Happy Sunny Training,
Heather & the HA team x
Did you know that pushing a buggy burns around 20% more calories than walking without one?
So why not join us reaping the benefits of outdoor exercise at our Buggyfit classes in Wimbledon? Meet other mums, burn calories, tone-up & strengthen your core muscles.
It's a sociable & safe way to get back into exercise after having your baby. Workout at a level that suits you & then progress when you feel ready.
No childcare required, simply enjoy the fresh air together!
- Mon: 9.30am, South Park Gardens

- Fri: 11.00am, Wimbledon Common
We have a really flexible class pass system. Buy a block of 10 sessions for £75 (you can use your pass at any of our classes) or drop-in for £10.
Find out more on our Buggyfit page or get in touch for more info.
Just to let you know, our drop-in rate for Buggyfit & Fit In The Park is going up to £10 on Friday (it's currently at £9). Basically, having a round number will make things a lot quicker at the beginning of the classes, as we won't have to keep handing out £1 coins in change!
Our 20 class pass will also be going up from £125 to £130. We feel that at £6.50 a class, this is still excellent value for money.
The 10 class passes will stay at the same price of £75, so it's worth buying one if you're currently doing a lot of drop-ins.
Our class passes can be used at any of our Buggyfit or Fit In The Park classes in South Park Gardens, Wimbledon Park & on Wimbledon Common. Check out our timetable so see which classes will suit you best.
The class prices will go up at midday this Friday (after Buggyfit on Wimbledon Common).
If you'd like to save a bit of cash, you can purchase either a drop-in or class pass online before the prices go up. Any passes bought online at the current price, maybe redeemed throughout February. We're allowing one pass (at the current price) to be bought per person. So get online & save some money today!
Many of us make fitness resolutions at the beginning of the year, but find that by the end of January the initial enthusiasm and passion begins to fade.
If this sounds like you, it's time to do something different. Get a fresh approach.
It's common to start the year full of ambition. Only to find that that life just gets in the way, and you feel like you're falling off the wagon. To make your resolutions last, the changes you make have to comfortably fit within your current lifestyle. What do you need to do to get results without too much upheaval?
You also need to honestly accept your current health and fitness levels. Do a sanity check on what actually needs fixing. Then, look positively at all of the things you can change, rather than negatively lingering over the problems you can't resolve.
Make a realistic plan that’s sustainable and achievable. Get some advice from friends or professionals to get you on the right track and stay motivated.
Why not sign-up for an HA fitness class pass or some personal training sessions to keep you motivated? We've also got some great BootCamps coming up! All the links for more info are below, or drop me a line.
Remember, if you change nothing, nothing will change.
Best wishes

Wimbledon has started to get chilly! Make sure your little one is well wrapped up at the classes. If you've not bought a cosy cover for your buggy yet, have a look at the BundleBean Go. It's perfect for families on the move and they come Buggyfit recommended!
A great alternative to costly footmuffs or cosy toes, this gorgeous waterproof cover fits snugly on to all buggies, bike seats, rear facing car seats and carriers/slings. Opens out flat as a travel picnic rug or play mat. Fits all ages from newborn to 4 years+.
BundleBeans are machine washable, 100% water and wind proof and fleece lined to keep your little bundle all warm and dry.
Also take a look at the BundleBean Buggy Organiser. It has a universal fit, is wipe clean and ever so practical for storing, wipes, nappies, bottles whatever!

Life is going to get busy with parties, school plays, shopping & the usual work/life balance stuff.
But don't let the next 6 weeks slip away into the festive madness. Commit to your health, your fitness and your workouts. You'll feel much better for it. And you'll also be so much more confident wearing that little black dress (slim-fit designer shirt for the guys?)
It's time to plan ahead, commit & book your workouts into your diary now. Check out our timetable & BootCamps coming up in November and December!
Buggyfit will be at the Baby Show, Olympia this weekend (21-23 Oct)!
If you'd like tickets to the show, you're welcome to use our PUSHABYE discount code for a 35% reduction on the price.
Heather will be helping on the stall on Friday 21 Oct. If you're one of our regular Buggyfit mums, do pop over and say hi. Or if you're interested in finding out more about postnatal fitness in Wimbledon and South West London, we'd love to have a chat.
We run 4 Buggyfit classes in Wimbledon a week. Check out our timetable for all the details or contact us for more info.
The HA team are all off doing exciting things over the August Bank Holiday weekend & we're guessing many of you are busy too. There will be no classes from Fri 26 Aug (tomorrow) to Mon 29 Aug inclusive.
However we've decided to put on a special one-off Tues evening class on 30 August in South Park Gardens. It'll be 7.30-8.30pm & everyone is welcome, including our Buggyfit mums & Wimbledon Park gang. Just bring your class passes or do pay-as-you-go (£9).
All of our other Fit In The Park & Buggyfit sessions will be going ahead as normal from Wednesday. Check out our timetable for the details.
It's summer holiday time! If you're not going away over the next couple of weeks, make sure you join us in the park. We've got a full timetable for you, with only a couple of changes to our Wimbledon Park early sessions (see below).
All mums are welcome to our Buggyfit classes over the summer, including those with older children. Your little or big ones are welcome to play/sleep/eat/read nearby whilst you train (as always, your children remain your responsibility). Head over to our timetable for all the details.
If our daytime sessions don't work for you, why not join us at 6.15am? You can choose to finish at either 7.00am or 7.15am. When it's warm, there's no better time to exercise than in the cool early in the morning. Before work. Before the rest of the family are up. Before you've managed to think up all those excuses not to do it!
Here's the plan for Wimbledon Park early classes over the next couple of weeks. We hope to see lots of you there tomorrow morning! Come into the park via the Revelstoke Road entrance & you'll see us.
