What some people think lifting weights does:
Make you bulky!

What lifting weights actually does:
Builds and maintains muscle mass and improves muscle tone.

Improves bone density.

Boosts metabolism.

Improves balance, stability, flexibility and mobility.

Boosts confidence and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.

We’d be daft not to!

It was an absolute honour for us to host the 24 hour classathon this weekend for Zac’s Fund. Simon and Rachel are a beautiful couple that are honouring their son in such an incredible way with this wonderful charity. You can still donate at https://www.goodhub.com/go/zacs-fund-245562

There’s some tired legs this morning as 8 people completed 24 back to back classes. It was such a great weekend made by the hundreds of people that showed up (even through the night) and our amazing instructors who delivered energy, motivation and so much fun!

We can’t sum it up in pictures but I think the first one pretty much does the job. Family and community!

Thank you to Marie-Claire Davies for popping in and catching a few special moments.

George entered his first show this weekend after 2 years of dedicated training. Well done mate, impressive stuff!

Much of our physique and health is reflected in our day to day habits so imagine what the future might look like if we get them right now. What George has done is very impressive and has taken a great deal of dedication. We can’t all be bodybuilders but we can all try to move a little more, lift a little heavier and eat a little better (well most of the time).
