🏴⚽ England Match Night! ⚽🏴

With England kicking off their World Cup quarter-final tonight at 10:00 pm, we’ve decided to give everyone a well-earned lie-in tomorrow… because we’re expecting a few late nights celebrating! 🍻🎉 (Fingers crossed! 🤞)

There will be NO coached classes tomorrow.

However, Open Gym will be available from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, so if you still fancy getting a session in, you’re more than welcome. You’ll have access to both the open gym and the class area, and we’ve got the fans running to help keep things as cool as possible while this heatwave hangs around. 🌞💨

Normal classes will resume as usual after tomorrow.

Enjoy the game, cheer the lads on, stay safe if you’re heading out, and hopefully we’ll all be celebrating an England win! Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁

Massive shout out to Strength Coach Claire | Barbell Coach for being with us at the Functional Fitness Centre since the start. We’ve been so lucky to have her delivering strength and Olympic weightlifting classes- she’s built quite a following! We wish you all the luck with your move and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Thank you again from all of us - coaches and members ###

☀️ Summer holidays don’t have to mean putting your training on hold.

We know that once the school holidays arrive, routines change. Childcare, days out and family time all take priority, and getting to the gym can suddenly feel much harder.

But remember – you don’t have to train five days a week to keep making progress. Even one or two sessions a week can help you maintain your strength, fitness and routine, making it so much easier to get back into things in September.

At the Functional Fitness Centre, we’re here to help make that happen.

✅ Kids are welcome to come along while you train. Bring a book, colouring or an iPad – we’re happy for them to relax while you enjoy your session. We have free WiFi and we’ll even keep the music a little lower during classes if little ones are with us.

💪 If your children are attending one of our kids’ classes, why not use the time to jump into Open Gym and get your own workout done?

⏰ We also have plenty of class options throughout the day:
• 6:00am, 7:00am & 8:00am
• 9:15am
• 12:30pm
• 2:00pm
• 6:00pm, 7:00pm & 8:00pm
(Monday–Friday)

Our gym has always been about supporting real people with real lives. Families are part of our community, and we’d much rather help you find a way to keep moving over the summer than see you disappear until September.

If you’re not sure how to make training fit around the holidays, come and have a chat with one of the coaching team. We’ll help you find an option that works for you.

Let’s keep moving this summer! 💙
