south park gardens

We’re continuing to offer good times online!

Our Zoom sessions really are the most effective way to train at home.

You could, of course, do a few YouTube videos. But with our live classes you'll get guidance, camaraderie, motivation, friendship, and community. Our team will help you to be accountable and motivated. We check in on everyone to make sure you’re executing the moves correctly and to ensure our instructions are clear. You won't quit early or take extra long water breaks if the HA team are watching!

Head over to our timetable to view all of our classes. We have:

- 13 classes a week

- 5 different instructors

- Loads of variation!

All for just £12 a week or £44 a month!

Happy New Year!

Hopefully you're all settling into your new post-Christmas routine OK?

Life continues to be full of unexpected challenges, but you really don't need me to remind you of that. From a health, fitness and wellbeing point of view, if you've been exercising and eating healthily for most of the time, then give yourself a pat on the back and keep it up!

If you've gone slightly off track and want to get back into it, then don't focus on the past. Look forward to the fact that you're making a positive change now, and build on that. Your positive focus and actions will build momentum and enthusiasm. And of course, if we can support you in any of this, we will.

Our Zoom timetable continues to be very popular, with 13 classes a week, 5 different instructors and lots of variation. All for just £12 a week or £44 a month. If you've not signed up yet, drop me a line and we can organise a free week of classes for you to trial.

Finally, a big thanks to all of our clients for the encouraging feedback and all of the little thank you messages that appear randomly in my inbox!

Stay safe, healthy and fit,

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!

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:

Our all inclusive ZOOM & Park package!

All inclusive.png

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!

That feel good feeling from training outside again!

Socially distanced SPG2.jpg

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 outdoors - please remember to bring your own mat

Bringing your own mat.jpg

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.

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!

Punch. Breathe. Repeat.

Are you ready to roll with the punches? We've got some great BoxFit classes coming up in August and September. Working on your cardio, strength and power, these sessions are great stress busters too!

We have a mixed bunch of clients who come along. Both guys and girls, with different levels of fitness and boxing experience. All classes are beginner friendly, but expect to workout hard...and sweat a lot!

We provide all of the gloves and pads, however if you have your own, do bring them along.

Head over to our BootCamp page for dates and booking details.

Get ready to box and burn!

HIIT BootCamp - Are You Up For It?

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!

Where and when is it?

Monday - Friday: 6.15 - 7.00am

How much does it cost?

Wimbledon Park: 
Class Pass Holders: £27 (plus 2 sessions off your class pass)
Non-Class Pass Holders: £45

South Park Gardens: 
Class Pass Holders: £36 (plus 1 session off your class pass)
Non-Class Pass Holders: £45

How do I book?

Happy Training,
