Joe Wicks Recommends Buggyfit!

Oooohh thanks Joe Wicks The Body Coach for encouraging parents and carers to come along to our Buggyfit postnatal classes!

Join us with your little one on Wimbledon Common every Tuesday morning at 11am for a powerwalk, strength training and some core workouts.

Our classes are:

- Suitable for all levels of fitness, from the complete beginner to experienced exerciser

- Great for shifting post natal weight

- Ideal for toning your tummy, arms, bum & legs

- Convenient as baby comes too

- Safe as our instructors are all qualified & experienced in ante/post natal fitness

- Sociable and a great way to meet other new mums

- Not just a walk in the park!

Now there's an idea...

1) The Gift Of Fitness

HA gift voucher.jpg

Our very flexible HA fitness vouchers can be purchased for any value and used as full or part payment for personal training, classes, Boot Camps or a mixture of all of our HA fitness services.

So whether you need a gift for a regular exerciser, or someone who'll appreciate being nudged in the right direction, we can help. And there's free delivery on all orders. Get in touch & let us know who you'd like to treat.

2) Personal Styling And Shopping Vouchers

Charlotte loves gift voucher.jpg

Our most glamorous personal training client and Wimbledon's favourite stylist, Charlotte Broadbent, has a limited number of personal styling and shopping vouchers available this Christmas.

Charlotte says... "Discovering your true colours and most flattering shapes is an experience you'll never forget, for both women and men. Buy a present this year that actually makes a difference.

We wear 20% of our wardrobe, 80% of the time so it's time to detox that wardrobe, piece together new outfits, sell on your old clothes and find the confidence to shop for your perfect colours and shapes."

Get in touch with Charlotte at Charlotte Loves, to find out more about her gift packages.

3) Family Photography Gift Certificates

Julia Boggio.jpg

Long-term friend and client of HA fitness is the multi-award winning photographer, Julia Boggio. She's one of London’s top family portraiture photographers and is based right here in Wimbledon.

Julia says... "2018 will be a year to remember, which is why a gift certificate for family photography would make the perfect present this Christmas."

Happy Shopping!

Important Class Update

Tennis fortnight is about to begin!

We do love all of the Championship buzz, but it also means that one of our lovely training grounds, Wimbledon Park, turns into a campsite!

We're determined not to cancel any of our classes, so here's the plan for the next 2 weeks.

Buggyfit postnatal classes will take place in Durnsford Park (see below). We'll be there at our regular times of 11.00am on Mondays & 11.00am on Thursdays. If you've got older children, bring them along as there is a fantastic little playground!

Our Monday and Wednesday 6.15am sessions will meet just outside of the Revelstoke Road Wimbledon Park gate. We'll then be putting you through your paces either in or around the park. Please don't bring lots of stuff with you, as we maybe moving around a bit. It should be lots of fun though!

Fit In The Park Saturday 9.00am - we will confirm the location this week for you.

Durnsford Park is a lovely green area just off Durnsford Road (put SW19 8EY into your sat nav). You'll find street parking (pay-at-machine) on Wellington, Lucien, Gordondale, Havana & Mount Roads. It's a bit further away from where all the action is, so there are no Wimbledon Tennis parking restrictions.

Obviously we do recommend leaving your car at home & giving your workout an extra boost by walking, running or cycling to our classes. However, if you're driving around Wimbledon during the tennis fortnight, it can get very busy, so it's wise to plan in extra travel time. Parking can also be challenging as there are restrictions in place.

All of our South Park Gardens classes will be running as normal & everyone is welcome to come along. Check out our timetable for full details of all our classes. Be warned though, we've got some great workouts planned & we may even include a tennis theme here & there. We know this is a busy time, but we'd love to see as many of you as possible training with us over the coming weeks. If you need to renew your pass, or buy a pay-as-you-go session, head over to our purchase page.

So who is Kelly?!

Kelly Lindley

I'm very proud to say that the HA fitness team is growing, and we're delighted to have Kelly Lindley join us.

We first met Kelly when she started coming to Buggyfit in Wimbledon Park about 18 months ago. Since then she has re-trained as a Personal Trainer, and we're pleased to say that she is now actually running some of our classes and one-to-one sessions for us.

Kelly has a huge passion for all types of fitness, and has a strong focus on weight training and body building. She's lots of fun to be around and will be bringing tons of great new ideas to our sessions. She loves the buzz exercise gives her, and is keen to share that with you all!

Not only is she a Personal Trainer, Kelly is also an amazing make-up artist. So if you've got a big day coming up, or would like some top tips, do ask her about how she can help you.

Please visit our About Us section of our website to find out more about Kelly

Thinking about a Guiness?!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

It's St Patrick's Day today, and that can only mean one thing. Guinness tonight and it's Mother's Day next weekend!

Is Guinness really good for you? Well, a few years ago I wrote this little article about how much iron it contains and how far you have to run to burn-off the calories in one pint. Read it and you might thing twice about having some of the black stuff!

On to Mother's Day. I think we can all agree that a healthy mum is a happy mum. And everyone in the house benefits if mum is in a good mood. So why not buy her one of our Gift Vouchers for Mother's Day? Or book that amazing woman in your life onto one of our BootCamps or courses (see below).

If you have a new baby in your house (or you know someone that does) we're celebrating Mother's Day by offering Free Trials at all of our Wimbledon Buggyfit classes throughout March. Head over to our blog for all the details.

Posted by Heather Waghorn.

Exercise your Eggs Off In Wimbledon!

Yes, we're thinking about Easter all ready and we'll no doubt have you hopping around the park like a bunny at some point.

But before I get into that, it's Mother's Day in a couple of weeks time, and if you need (or would like to drop hints for) a fantastic gift, why not go for one of our Gift Vouchers? Or book that amazing woman in your life onto one of our BootCamps or courses (see below). It'll last longer than flowers and is better for the waistline than chocolates!

On that note, if you'd like to burn-off any chocolaty indulgences in advance, we're running a special class on Good Friday (14 April) at 9.30am in South Park Gardens which will replace our regular Fit In The Park session. It's suitable for all levels and abilities and we'd love to see your husbands, wives, partners, family & friends there too. Children can come & play nearby & babies in buggies are welcome (they all remain your responsibility!).

It's a busy time of year for everyone, so we'd like to know how many people will be joining us. We’re therefore asking everyone to book & pay in advance (your class passes won't be valid). It's just £8 for 1 person or £14 for 2. Hop over to our BootCamp page to sign-up now while you're still thinking about it.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that our Saturday classes in Wimbledon Park and in South Park Gardens will all be running as normal over the Easter period. Unfortunately there will be no Buggyfit classes on Bank Monday, however we'd love to see you all with or without your little ones on Good Friday and Easter Saturday!

As always, you're welcome to drop-in on any of our Buggyfit or Fit In The Park classes (check out our busy timetable online), but it does work out cheaper to buy one of our class passes in advance.

Happy Training,

Heather & the HA team x
