We're back!

Wimbledon Fit In The ParkTime to blow away the cobwebs & manage that festive damage!

We're back in action at 9am on Saturday 3 January 2015 in both Wimbledon Park & South Park Gardens.

Join us for a challenging & fun Fit In The Park workout.

In Wimbledon Park we meet near the Revelstoke Road entrance. Just to the right of the carpark (put SW18 5HY into the sat nav. Free parking in the park).

In South Park Gardens, we meet near the Trinity Road entrance (put SW19 8QY into the sat nav. Metered parking on the road).

All welcome!

HA fitness Vouchers

We can save you from frantic Amazon searches, big queues & crowded shops. Buy your loved one an HA fitness voucher for Christmas. It's quick, easy & stress free.

The vouchers can be as flexible as you'd like to make them. They can be purchased for any value & can be used as full or part payment for personal training, classes, bootcamps or a mixture of all of our HA fitness services.

Whether it's for a regular exerciser, or someone who'll appreciate being nudged in the right direction, we can help.

The last day we can take orders is Friday 19th December, so get in touch now & make someone smile this Christmas!

Keep up the training!

As the festivities are getting into full swing, don't forget that we'll still be in the park, working you hard, right up until the 22 Dec. Our last 2 timetabled classes will be:

- Mon 22 Dec: 6.15am Wimbledon Park
- Mon 22 Dec: 9.30am South Park Gardens (Welcoming everyone to this final session)

And then:

Early Morning & Evening Challenge!

Due to popular demand, we've decided to extend our Early Mornings Aren't That Scary Challenge until Christmas. It also now includes our 2 evening classes!

Simply join us at any 3 of the following sessions in 1 week to earn your free class pass:

South Park Gardens: 6.15am on Tues & Thur.
Holy Trinity School: 7.30pm on Mon
Running Club: 7.15pm Wed
Wimbledon Park: 6.15am on Mon, Wed & Fri

The free pass will be given out at the end of each week & can be used at any of our Early Morning sessions only. It will expire on 24 December 2014.

Thursday Morning Buggyfit is Evolving

We've heard that some of our Wimbledon Park Buggyfit mums find the Thursday 12 noon finish time a bit tricky. We've also had feedback that a few non-postnatal ladies are interested in joining the class too.

So, from Thursday 27th November, this class will be a Blast Class, suitable for postnatal mums & anyone else who'd like to come along. Babies & children more than welcome to come & play, gurgle, eat & sleep (we don't mind a bit of noise either).

The class will start at 11.00am, meeting in front of the cafe in Wimbledon Park.  You'll have the option to leave either at 11.45am or 12noon, depending on you & your little ones schedule.

The New Club...

Many of you have been saying that you'd like to come to our early Wimbledon Park sessions, but when the alarm goes off, it's all too easy to roll over & hide under the duvet. 

So we've set-up the Don't Hit Snooze, Grab Your Shoes Club!

It's all about motivating each other to get out of bed & into the Park. You can find out who is going to which classes & tell everyone which ones you'll be committing to.

It's very informal. To join, all you have to do is email me saying that you'd like to share your email address with other people who come to the 6.15am Wimbledon Park sessions. You'll then be able to join in the chat & get motivated!

We're rolling it out in Wimbledon Park. But if you think this would work for you in South Park Gardens, drop me a line & I'll set it up.

Monday Nights - We've Got It Covered!

We asked whether you wanted to go inside for your Monday night sessions. You said, yes if it's raining. No if its not.

Well we've organised it for you! Starting tonight, we will be in Holy Trinity School Hall if it's raining (most likely this evening!). And in the playground if it's not. In order for this to happen, we'll be starting at the slightly later time of 7.30pm.

Situated on Effra Road, the school is just 2 minutes walk from South Park Gardens. Come into the school via the French windows at the front. One of us will be waiting outside to point you in the right direction.

There's free parking on Effra Road in the evening.

See you there!

Enjoy The Lighter Mornings At Our 6.15am Class Tomorrow

What: Fit In The Park (outdoor fitness fun)
When: Tuesdays: 6.15am (finish at either 7.00am or 7.15am, your choice)
Where: South Park Gardens (Trinity Rd entrance)

If you've not been to one of our sunrise sessions before, now's the time to give it a go. The feeling you have after an early morning workout, is far better than it feels to sleep in an extra hour!

HIIT in South Park Gardens, 7.45am this Saturday!

Come to our last HIIT session in South Park Gardens on Saturday at 7.45 - 8.30am.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is about getting your heart rate racing, your body sweating & your muscles burning. Fast-paced exercises will torch calories & boost your metabolism. Short, timed recovery periods will enable you to keep the intensity high whilst still maintaining form.

You can use your class passes at these sessions or do pay-as-you-go. If you'd like to do the double & come to the 9.00am session as well, we'll happily give you extra training for the 30 minutes in between the 2 sessions!

We meet near the Trinity Road entrance to the park. Wimbledon, SW London SW19 8QY.

We will be running our free fitness testing the following Saturday, 15 November so make sure you fit in as many sessions as you can before then!

Revelstoke Road Car Park - Important Notice

If you're coming to our Wimbledon Park Buggyfit class this week, you won't be able to park in the Revelstoke Road car park due to the preparations for the firework display. Try the top car park on Church Road (near Wimbledon Tennis) or park on the nearby streets. Some roads are free during Buggyfit classes. Others are £1.10 per hour between 11.00am - 3.00pm. A full list can be found on the council website. All back to normal next week.

Don't forget you can also come to our Tuesday class on Wimbledon Common at 10.30am where there is a huge free car park!

Bonus HIIT Sessions:

To boost the number of workouts you can fit into 1 week, we're adding 4 extra HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) sessions to the South Park Gardens timetable in October & November:

Saturday 18 October: 7.45 - 8.30am
Saturday 25 October: 7.45 - 8.30am
Saturday 1 November: 7.45 - 8.30am
Saturday 8 November: 7.45 - 8.30am

More, more, more

We try really hard to get our class timetable to be just how you want it. Recently you've asked us for:

- More Fit Kit Sessions using different pieces of equipment like the ViPR & TRX: We've got one in Wimbledon Park next Thursday (see Fit Kit Drills to book).

- More BootCamps: Our 2 week HIIT BootCamp starts on Sat at 8am in South Park Gardens (book now as places are limited).

- Early morning sessions to finish at both 7.00am & 7.15am (there was a slight difference of opinion between our clients!): Now you can choose whether you leave at 7.00am or 7.15am (45 or 60 min sessions). See our timetable for a full list of dates & times.

- Class start times not to be delayed by latecomers: We're starting & finishing all of our classes on time now, so get the most out of your session & be there with us on time too. If you're running late, don't worry, we won't turn you away - although there maybe a few penalty burpees!

- Fitness Tests: We will be offering free fitness tests in Wimbledon Park & South Park Gardens. Dates to be posted on facebook & our website by the end of this week.

- 8am Saturday morning sessions in South Park Gardens: We start in October!

Why not head over to our facebook page & tell us what you'd like to see at our classes & how we can improve your timetable.

Heather's Fit Kit Drills - New September Dates

We've got some new dates available for our very popular Fit Kit Drills sessions with Heather.

These intense workouts combine TRX Suspension Training with the ViPR.

You'll use the TRX (long straps that hang from a tree or post) to add an extra challenge to your regular bodyweight exercises. Develop your strength, power & core stability whilst having a bit of suspended fun!

Take on the ViPR (not so humble weighted rubber tubes) & you'll be performing big dynamic movements that build core strength, sculpt the arms, legs & bum whilst burning a huge amount of calories.

Heather's sessions use both pieces of kit to create a unique all over body challenge. Limited to a small group, you’ll receive highly personalized attention & get maximum results for your time & effort.

Give us your drive & determination. We’ll give you sweat & smiles!

Where & When:

Tue 16 Sep - 6.15am to 7.00am - Wimbledon Park
Tue 23 Sep - 6.15am to 7.00am - South Park Gardens
Thu 2 Oct - 6.15am to 7.00am - Wimbledon Park (note this is Thu not Tue)

Cost: £8.50 per class

As numbers are difficult for us to predict, we're asking everyone to pre-book each session in advance. Sorry, we won't be able to take payments on the day & class passes won't be valid. These sessions are non-transferable & non-refundable.

Book now or get in touch to find out more.

Early Morning Sessions Are Changing Slightly

We've had a lot of requests for our early sessions to finish at 7am.  We suggested a 45 minute intense session, but have heard some of our hardcore clients would like the full hour. As no-one is keen to start at 6am, we’ve come up with a good solution.

We’ll start on the dot at 6.15am, with a warm-up & intense express session that will finish at 7.00am. Following this, there will be a 15 minute challenging strength & core session.  This gives you the option of a 45 minute or 60 minute class.

This new format applies to all of our 6.15am sessions in Wimbledon Park & South Park Gardens, & will start next week.

We’ve got some challenging new workouts planned to wake you up & have you glowing all day!

We Are Happy!

We were really excited to be asked to take part in the We Are Happy film at our Fit In The Park class on Saturday in Wimbledon Park.

It's a 4 minute film about different people & businesses in our community & the music is set to the We Are Happy song . The film should go live in about 4 weeks time, so watch this space...!

It's time...

With the schools back, it's time to throw that "I just don't have the time" excuse out of the window. It's time to banish those extra pounds you put on over the summer months. It's time to meet us in the park & work hard. We're ready for you!

Want to have your say as to what goes on in our classes? Head over to our facebook page & share your ideas. We're currently taking votes on what happens at this Thursday's Buggyfit class with Kate!

The HA Team spent last week being ice bucketed, getting set for school & planning some tough workouts for you. As many of you know, we've also been discussing our timetable, looking to make improvements where we can (we'll be announcing the changes in the next few days). If you have any feedback, do get in touch.

Need A Bit Of A Push?

Why not book a one-off training boost with one of our Team at a reduced off-peak rate? We have a few day-time slots available this week. Get in touch today & we'll kick-start your training. Don't put it off for another day!
