Friday Mornings South Park Gardens - Last Class Next Week

Our last class 9.30am Fit In The Park Friday class will be on 26 October. Thank you to all of the grown ups and little ones who have joined us in the park each week. And a huge thank you to Sophie for designing and teaching some creative, fun and challenging sessions for us.

Sophie now has family commitments on a Friday, and we have decided that, rather than put in a new Trainer, we will focus on other new exciting ventures.

More to come on that! In the meantime, why not head over to our timetable to find out what else you could be doing with us!

Monday Nights in South Park Gardens - Time and Location Change

As we've done over the past few years, we're moving into the Holy Trinity School Hall on Monday nights starting from 29th October. We'll be training there every Monday night until the Spring.

Unfortunately, due to hall availability, we will have to move this class to the later time of 8.00pm

We can really appreciate that some of you will be happy with the later time, whilst others will find it more challenging to join us. We're really sorry for any inconvenience.

We do promise a really fun session though, so do come and give it a go!

Beginners BootCamp - Wimbledon Park & South Park Gardens

Join Heather for an early morning Bootcamp for Non-BootCampers!

This one-off session could be just the thing for you, if you’ve…

  • Not exercised since school and feel a bit intimidated about starting

  • Been injured and need to kick start your fitness again

  • Put on a little weight and keep putting off doing something about it

  • Had children and your body no longer feels like it’s yours (and we’re not just talking about the Mums here!)

The idea is to give you a gentle(ish) introduction to our Fit In The Park sessions. You will be with like minded beginners and a sympathetic, lovely Instructor (me!).

I’ll bring all the kit. You just need some workout clothes, a pair of trainers and some water to drink. You definitely don’t need to wear fancy gym gear (I won’t be!).

Men and women of all shapes and sizes will be warmly welcomed and encouraged to workout at their own individual level.

It’s only £5 for this one-off 45 minute session. Why not sign-up now before you change your mind. What have you got to lose? You can do this!

6.15am - 7.00am (yes I know it’s early, but it does get it out of the way!)

South Park Gardens: Friday 12 October
Wimbledon Park: Friday 19 October

Cost:
Just £5

Book your place now or drop us a line for more info. Please note that these sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable.

NCT Big Push On Wimbledon Common

Looking forward to The Big Push tomorrow on Wimbledon Common with NCT Wimbledon & District!

Why don't you join us us for a 5K buggy walk this Sunday to raise money to develop and improve mental health services for parents?

Tickets are just £5. AND if you enter as part of our Buggyfit team, you’ll also receive a FREE BUGGYFIT T-SHIRT to wear on the day plus 2 CLASS PASSES!

Unfortunately, many parents suffer in silence and don’t get the support they need, often reaching crisis point. When a new mum or dad suffers from any form of mental health problem, the effects can be devastating for the whole family.

The Wimbledon and District Big Push event is in support of the NCT's Hidden Half campaign, which is fighting for a change to the six-week postnatal checks making sure that new mothers are not overlooked, and that any mental health problems get picked up sooner. Some of the funds raised will also go to each participating branch so they can support perinatal mental health issues in their local area.

All you need to do is register online here

If you'd like to donate to this excellent cause, head over to the justgiving page:.

Hope to see lots of our Buggyfit Mums there tomorrow. We'll be meeting at the Tea Rooms at 9.30am for a 10.00am start.

CLASSES CANCELLED TOMORROW (Thu 1 Mar)

I've just made a really tough decision. We're going to cancel our 6.15am Fit In The Park and both of our Buggyfit classes tomorrow

We pride ourselves on going out in all weathers, and never cancelling a session. However, looking at the forecast (and the stunning white view from my window), the sensible decision is to cancel now, while I still have the opportunity to email you all.

Obviously, don't let me put you off from meeting up and going out for a workout. Training in the snow is great fun. Although snowball fights and building snowmen is even better...and still counts as exercise in my book!

Please do follow our Facebook page (hafitnessLtd) for the most up-to-date news on our classes.  

Stay warm and have fun!

We start tomorrow in Wimbledon Park at 6.15am (finishing at 7.00am).

Training over 5 consecutive mornings, you'll get a full body workout, combining strength, cardio, endurance, core & functional movement. You'll scorch calories & be challenged from head to toe.

Don't worry. We'll be offering different levels to suit all abilities. Beginners, weekend warriors & serious fitness freaks are all welcome.

What if I can't make every session?

No problem. You can make up a class at one of our regular Fit In The Park classes.

But I don't want to go on my own?

You'll be introduced to all of our Boot Campers on the first day. We'll then work hard to ensure an inclusive, motivating spirit and strong sense of comradeship during the week. It'll be great fun too!

So when is it? 

  • Monday - Friday: 6.15 - 7.00am

Where and when is it?

How much does it cost?
