Monday 31 August - Fit In The Park & Buggyfit

Unfortunately there will be no classes or Bootcamps on Bank Holiday Monday this weekend as the HA fitness team are spending some fun time with their families.

Our regular timetable resumes on Tuesday 1st September, kicking off with 6.15am Fit In The Park in South Park Gardens.

South Park Gardens Classes Cancelled on Monday

It is with a deeply saddened heart that we are making the following announcement.

There will be no HA fitness classes in South Park Gardens on Monday 13th July, including our 9.30am Buggyfit & 7.30pm Fit In The Park sessions.

We are respectfully cancelling these classes due to the incredibly sad lost of Molly Burdett, whose funeral will be taking place on that day.

Please get in touch if you would like to know the funeral details. In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to be made to the ICU at St Georges. Please see Molly's Smile Fund Just Giving for details.

Our thoughts & love are with the Burdett family as they celebrate Molly's life on Monday.

Celebrate With Us This Saturday!

6 years ago, Kate joined me at HA fitness to help run the show while I was busy becoming a mum.

Kate rose to the challenge. She impressed my personal training clients with her tough workouts & wowed my Buggyfit mums with her knowledge. She was also a complete rock to me, being a mum of 2 herself, she was so supportive & full of help & advice.

When I was ready to come back to work, there was absolutely no way I was going to loose Kate. So we expanded our classes & shared the work between us.

Our reputation began to grow & we were asked to set up some outdoor fitness classes in South Park Gardens. Over a few glasses of wine, we decided to go for it. Kate got busy planning some tough sessions, whilst I paced the streets convincing people that Fit In The Park at 6.15am was actually a good idea!

Although Kate now lives in Kent, we're so lucky that she makes the journey to Wimbledon twice a week to run some amazing sessions for us, including her iconic Saturday 9am class.

So come celebrate with us this Saturday as we bring ALL of our kit into South Park Gardens for our 9am Fit In The Park session. We'll workout hard, have some fun & celebrate Kate's 6th year at HA fitness. All levels & abilities welcome.

Hope to see you all there,

Heather

Catch A Little Spring Fever!

A little bit more sunshine, a little bit more warmth & a little bit more daylight. Spring is on its way!

There are so many natural motivators to exercise at this time of year. You just need to get outside & tap into them.

Fresh air will boost your energy levels. Sunny skies will lift your mood. And the new colours bursting through will make you smile. It's time to start-up, shake-up & step-up your workouts.

Plan which classes you'll be doing this week from our timetable. If you need a new pass, buy one now while you're feeling inspired.

Remember, the summer & your holiday wardrobe is just around the corner...

Heather

It's only cold if you stand still

Some of my best workout memories are of when we're out there, battling against the elements.
 
You feel invincible, invigorated & pumped with energy. Nothing quite beats it & you just want more.
 
Yesterday, at 6.15am, we charged across South Park Gardens, leaving crazy footprints in the fresh snow. Later on in the morning, our Buggyfit mums powerwalked across a sparkling white Wimbledon Common, with the little ones all tucked up in their buggies.
 
So although we'd prefer it to be dry & sunny, there's still loads of fun to be had outside during the winter months.
 
Wrap up in warm layers & wear gloves & a hat. Remove a layer when you start to sweat & put it back on again if you start to feel chilly.
 
If you wait for the perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done. Somedays you just have to make your own little bit of sunshine.
 
Check out our latest class timetable & I'll see you in the park soon!
