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:

Our all inclusive ZOOM & Park package!

With my children back at school (after 6 months of being by my side!), I've finally got some headspace this week to make some positive changes to our little business.

For the past month we've been running a hybrid timetable of both online and in the park classes. It's worked well, however, I’ve realised that the original pricing structure could do with a few tweaks. I'd also like to offer a more blended approach to our Zoom/Park timetable.

So today I'm really excited to launch a couple of new packages. These will hopefully offer much better value for you!

Head over to our new Purchase Page for all of the details!

Update on our park classes

You've probably heard about the new legislation banning social gatherings of more than six people starting on Monday 14th September.

As far as we're aware, this will NOT restrict our Fit In The Park classes as

"The rule does not apply to schools and workplaces, or weddings, funerals and organised team sports" (BBC News).

If we get any updates on this, we'll let you know. In the meantime, bookings are open for the following sessions in South Park Gardens:

• 6.15am Thursday

• 7.45am Saturday

• 9.00am Saturday

• 9.30am Monday (babies and children welcome)

Use your class pass (£75 for 10 sessions) or drop-in for £10. Free trials for all newcomers!

We need everyone to book in advance (in accordance to the COVID-19 guidelines). You can do this either on messenger or email.

Everyone welcome, we have loads of space! Drop us a line if you'd like anymore info.

Farewell Antonio, but not goodbye - see you on ZOOM!!

Antonio’s last class in South Park Gardens this morning....

Good news is he’s back again on Zoom tomorrow morning at 6.15am.... . Drop us a line if you’d like to join him and haven’t signed up yet.

Class news - Antonio

I have some good and bad news to share...

Antonio is flying back to his hometown next week. Sadly for us, this now won’t just be for a holiday. He’s decided to move back permanently so that he can spend more time with his friends and family in Croatia.

The really good news is that he is keen to continue his online Zoom sessions for HA fitness!

So it is farewell, but certainly not goodbye.

Antonio joined the HA fitness team in October 2016 and has run literally hundreds of sessions for us since then! He is well loved across all of our clients, never sick and 100% reliable. Even on a cold, dark winter’s morning when it’s pouring rain, Antonio will be there with a smile!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to the team Antonio!!

Tomorrow’s 6.15am class will be Antonio’s last park session. So if you can make it, it would be great to see you there. All of his Zoom sessions will run as normal this week, so don’t worry if you can’t make it.

More announcements to come as to how our timetable will be evolving.

That feel good feeling from training outside again!

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.

Training - inside (Zoom) and outside (South Park Gardens)

It was such a lovely feeling to see everyone back in the park again!

• Friday 6.15am Wimbledon Park

• Saturday 7.45am South Park Gardens

Thursday and Friday will be with Antonio. Saturday will be with Heather as Kate is away.

To enable us to comply with the new Covid-19 regulations, it's really important that you book into each class in advance. To do this simply reply to this email. You can then either use up a session on your HA fitness class pass or pay £10 online (we'll send you our details after you've booked).

If you have a class pass, you need to send us a photo of it, and we can then manage your sessions from there.

Back in the park!

And we’re back!! Our first Fit In The Park class at 6.15am this morning in South Park Gardens.

Well done to Antonio who was running this session, both in the park and on Zoom for our clients at home.

And well done to our amazing clients for joining us, following the social distancing rules and working out really, really hard. It was so lovely to see you all in real life!

Antonio is back tomorrow at 6.15am, this time in Wimbledon Park. Drop us a line if you’d like to join him. This session will also be taking place on Zoom.

Wow what a fantastic start to our outdoor sessions!

Training outdoors - please remember to bring your own mat

We unfortunately won’t be able to bring mats to our outside classes for you to borrow. Mats, boxing gloves, TRXs etc are all on the banned equipment list - soft materials being difficult to clean to a high enough standard.

So please bring your own mat if you’re joining us in the park. You don’t need an expensive one, just something you can lie on. Amazon is probably the best place to look. Please drop us a line if you’re unsure.

Covid-19 - keeping our clients safe at HA fitness

At the beginning of this year, when I was looking at professional courses and skills development, this one certainly wasn't on my to-do list!

It's just one of the many things we've been working on recently, to help our clients feel safe and confident in joining us for some outdoor fitness classes.

Training in the Great Outdoors again

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!

See you in the park soon!

Are you drinking enough?

What amazing weather we've been having! I hope you've been able to cool off a bit somehow today? And have you drunk plenty of water?

Check out this chart....and then maybe pour yourself another glass whilst doing so...
