Thornton Health and Fitness Centre

Emily will be delivering combat and pump for us tomorrow. As one of our regular instructors she has amazing classes through the week.

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, with a real passion for fitness, positive energy and helping people feel stronger and more confident.

I’m Les Mills certified in BODYCOMBAT™, BODYPUMP™, LES MILLS GRIT™ and LES MILLS CORE™, as well as qualified in Spin and HIITSTEP.

I love bringing energy and fun to my classes and creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, whatever their fitness level. When I’m not at the gym, I’m a busy mum — so I definitely know how important it is to make time for yourself!

My goal is simple: work hard, have fun and leave feeling amazing! ❤️

Meet another of our fabulous instructors delivering for you this weekend ! Vikki

✨ MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR ✨

​You might have seen me around the gym covering classes and putting participants through their paces! I’ve been a fitness instructor for over a decade, and my journey all started with a deep love for Les Mills BodyCombat. 🥋🥊

​I enjoyed participating in the classes so much that I started attending Les Mills events and made the leap to become an instructor myself — and I haven't looked back since!

​With a strong background in martial arts, I teach BodyCombat, BodyPump, and Les Mills Core. I also bring my own creative flair to the studio by choreographing freestyle classes, including Step, Spin, and even Aerobics! 🚴‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

​For me, fitness is about so much more than just physical health — it’s an absolute game-changer for mental wellbeing, too. Plus, there's nothing quite like the community in group fitness for building real, lasting friendships ❤️.

​I love sharing high-energy music, strong movement, and plenty of fun in every single class. I can't wait to see you in the studio and help launch Body Pump 138 with you all on Sunday ✨💪

✨ MEET NICOLA ✨

You may have seen me covering classes here at Thornton Leisure centre! I’ve been teaching for 2½ years, which all began with my absolute passion for BodyBalance. ❤️

I loved it so much as a participant that I eventually decided I wanted to teach it — and I haven’t looked back!

I also teach Les Mills Pilates & Yoga and I just love sharing the combination of great music, movement, challenge and of course always a bit of fun that these programs bring 😊

I’m really happy to be here on Sunday representing the fantastic instructor team while they’re enjoying a well-earned break 🧘🏽‍♀️!

I’m especially excited to be launching BodyBalance 113 and can’t wait to share it with you all🧘🏽‍♀️✨.

Getting moving in the morning isn’t always easy 🌄

Here are 10 morning stretches to help you start your day. Stretching helps increase flexibility and reduces back pain.
