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.
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.

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

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:
- - - - - - -
Mon: 9.30am with Heather (Family friendly - babies and children welcome)
Thu: 6.15am with Heather
Sat: 7.45am with Kate
Sat: 9.00am with Kate

Loved teaching our 7.45am and 9.00am sessions on Saturday in South Park Gardens. What a beautiful morning for exercising outdoors!
Everyone was happy to remain a safe 3 meters apart throughout the session. We were so socially distanced that you can’t quite see everyone in the photos. Can you spot a few of our clients underneath the shade of the tree?
Despite the distancing, we still successfully managed to chat, laugh and workout hard. Just like the old days!
We’re continuing to run our hybrid timetable of Zoom and outdoor fitness this week: Fit In The Park and Fit In The Home.
If you’d like to join us, just message or email me for details.

Yes that’s right! The news we’ve all been waiting for. With the latest easing of restrictions, we can now head back into the park providing we stick to the COVID-19 Secure guidelines.
We will be announcing our new Zoom and Park timetable shortly.
Please bear with us while we update our policies, waivers and booking system over the next few days. We need to do this to ensure we are compliant with current legislation and our insurance companies. We will be doing everything we can to keep everyone safe whilst ensuring you have a great workout too!
You may have heard that there's been a change in what we, as a profession, can offer. We're now allowed to train people on a one-to-one basis, provided that it's outside and social distancing guidelines are observed.
However, after speaking to many of our clients this week, they've all said that they'd prefer to keep their sessions online for now. Well that suits us too!
It was our 9am Saturday class, the busiest of our week, and a huge ask of our lovely Instructor, Kate.
Amazingly, over 20 of you tuned in for her session. And she nailed it!
Since then we’ve added to our timetable and made a few improvements to our set up.
With the current lockdown measures remaining in place for at least another 3 weeks, and life not going back to normal at any point soon, we'd like you to know that the HA team have got your back. We're ready and fired up to give you a physical and mental boost, six days a week, until we can all safely go outside again.
As before, you get all of our Zoom classes for just £12 a week (no commitment, you just pay on a weekly basis). Our week runs from Monday through to Saturday inclusive.
If you'd like to sign-up to next week and don't already have our payment details, just email me at heather@hafitness.com.
Happy training and stay safe,
Heather x
We’re so egg-cited about how much you're all enjoying our cracking Zoom timetable, that myself and the HA team have decided to not stop hoppin' over the Easter Break. Here’s the plan:
FRI (tomorrow):
7am: Fit In The Home with Antonio (slightly later time)
12.30pm: Core with Heather (Sophie is still recovering)
SAT:
9am Fit In The Home with Kate
MON:
7am: Fit In The Home with Antonio (slightly later time)
1pm: Stretch & Restore with Heather
See you on Zoom!

The idea is, you take a break from work/family and do 20 press ups. Then take another break, later in the day and do 20 squats.
Your goal is to do 100 of each by the end of the day! Let us know how you get on...

With our BootCamps, Buggyfit and Fit In The Park classes all getting off to an awesome start this week (thank you!), we're now focusing on our HIIT BootCamps.
We get the impression that a few of you are nervous about signing up, so here's a few answers to some of the questions you've been asking us.
What exactly is HIIT?
High Intensity Interval Training. Basically doing short intense sets followed by short rests. And repeating. It's a proven form of training that delivers results fast!
How does the BootCamp work?
Training over 5 consecutive mornings, we'll focus on different muscle groups each day, combining strength, cardio and endurance for maximum burn. We'll get you to do a wide variety exercises (probably including a few burpees) to keep your mind and muscles guessing.
The sessions start at 6.15am, so you can do it all before work, and before the rest of the family gets up. Just give us everything you've got for 45 minutes, everyday, for 5 days!
But I'm new to BootCamps / not very fit?
Don’t worry there’s a first time for everyone. We'll introduce you to some of our regulars (a few of them have been coming for years!), and our Instructors will always be on hand to make sure you know what you're doing.
We offer different levels to suit all abilities. Beginners, weekend warriors and serious fitness freaks will all be catered for. It'll be fast, furious and fun, all at the same time.
What if I miss a session?
No problem. You can make up a class at one of our regular Fit In The Park or Buggyfit sessions.
What do I wear/bring?
Dress for the weather, with lots of layers. You may start off a bit chilly, but you'll soon warm up, so it's good to be able to take a things off as you get going.
Bring a mat if you have one, we have some spares if you don't. And remember to bring a water bottle, so that you can replenish what you sweat off!

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!"
