Mental health

Nearly there....

SPG grounds.jpg

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

  • 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.

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.

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

Remember to exercise.jpg

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:

Training in the Great Outdoors again

Outdoor fitness...coming soon.jpg

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!

NCT Big Push On Wimbledon Common

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.
