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!

Later Time For Tuesday Fit In The Park

This will no doubt please a few of you!

We'll be moving our Tuesday Fit In The Park 9.15am class to the slightly later time of 9.45am. Meeting in the usual place, in the middle of the park.

All class passes & pay-as-you-go welcome. We'll be starting at the new time from Tuesday 13 January.

See you there!

New Saturday Blast Class

We've had quite a number of you ask us to put on an earlier Saturday class. So starting on 10th January, we'll be running a 7.45 to 8.30am Blast Class in South Park Gardens. This is a full body workout in just 45 minutes! We'll meet in the middle of the park near the drinking fountain (the Trinity Road gate will be open).

So if your Saturday mornings mean you can't always get to our 9am sessions, we're getting up a little bit earlier to make sure you don't miss out on your HA fitness workout!

Your class passes & pay-as-you-go are all valid & newcomers will be made very welcome.

Come & give it a go this Saturday!

We're back!

Early Morning & Evening Challenge!

Due to popular demand, we've decided to extend our Early Mornings Aren't That Scary Challenge until Christmas. It also now includes our 2 evening classes!

Simply join us at any 3 of the following sessions in 1 week to earn your free class pass:

South Park Gardens: 6.15am on Tues & Thur.
Holy Trinity School: 7.30pm on Mon
Running Club: 7.15pm Wed
Wimbledon Park: 6.15am on Mon, Wed & Fri

The free pass will be given out at the end of each week & can be used at any of our Early Morning sessions only. It will expire on 24 December 2014.

Thursday Morning Buggyfit is Evolving

We've heard that some of our Wimbledon Park Buggyfit mums find the Thursday 12 noon finish time a bit tricky. We've also had feedback that a few non-postnatal ladies are interested in joining the class too.

So, from Thursday 27th November, this class will be a Blast Class, suitable for postnatal mums & anyone else who'd like to come along. Babies & children more than welcome to come & play, gurgle, eat & sleep (we don't mind a bit of noise either).

The class will start at 11.00am, meeting in front of the cafe in Wimbledon Park.  You'll have the option to leave either at 11.45am or 12noon, depending on you & your little ones schedule.

The New Club...

Many of you have been saying that you'd like to come to our early Wimbledon Park sessions, but when the alarm goes off, it's all too easy to roll over & hide under the duvet. 

So we've set-up the Don't Hit Snooze, Grab Your Shoes Club!

It's all about motivating each other to get out of bed & into the Park. You can find out who is going to which classes & tell everyone which ones you'll be committing to.

It's very informal. To join, all you have to do is email me saying that you'd like to share your email address with other people who come to the 6.15am Wimbledon Park sessions. You'll then be able to join in the chat & get motivated!

We're rolling it out in Wimbledon Park. But if you think this would work for you in South Park Gardens, drop me a line & I'll set it up.

Monday Nights - We've Got It Covered!

We asked whether you wanted to go inside for your Monday night sessions. You said, yes if it's raining. No if its not.

Well we've organised it for you! Starting tonight, we will be in Holy Trinity School Hall if it's raining (most likely this evening!). And in the playground if it's not. In order for this to happen, we'll be starting at the slightly later time of 7.30pm.

Situated on Effra Road, the school is just 2 minutes walk from South Park Gardens. Come into the school via the French windows at the front. One of us will be waiting outside to point you in the right direction.

There's free parking on Effra Road in the evening.

See you there!

Enjoy The Lighter Mornings At Our 6.15am Class Tomorrow

What: Fit In The Park (outdoor fitness fun)
When: Tuesdays: 6.15am (finish at either 7.00am or 7.15am, your choice)
Where: South Park Gardens (Trinity Rd entrance)

If you've not been to one of our sunrise sessions before, now's the time to give it a go. The feeling you have after an early morning workout, is far better than it feels to sleep in an extra hour!

HIIT in South Park Gardens, 7.45am this Saturday!

Come to our last HIIT session in South Park Gardens on Saturday at 7.45 - 8.30am.

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is about getting your heart rate racing, your body sweating & your muscles burning. Fast-paced exercises will torch calories & boost your metabolism. Short, timed recovery periods will enable you to keep the intensity high whilst still maintaining form.

You can use your class passes at these sessions or do pay-as-you-go. If you'd like to do the double & come to the 9.00am session as well, we'll happily give you extra training for the 30 minutes in between the 2 sessions!

We meet near the Trinity Road entrance to the park. Wimbledon, SW London SW19 8QY.

We will be running our free fitness testing the following Saturday, 15 November so make sure you fit in as many sessions as you can before then!

Revelstoke Road Car Park - Important Notice

If you're coming to our Wimbledon Park Buggyfit class this week, you won't be able to park in the Revelstoke Road car park due to the preparations for the firework display. Try the top car park on Church Road (near Wimbledon Tennis) or park on the nearby streets. Some roads are free during Buggyfit classes. Others are £1.10 per hour between 11.00am - 3.00pm. A full list can be found on the council website. All back to normal next week.

Don't forget you can also come to our Tuesday class on Wimbledon Common at 10.30am where there is a huge free car park!

Bonus HIIT Sessions:

To boost the number of workouts you can fit into 1 week, we're adding 4 extra HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) sessions to the South Park Gardens timetable in October & November:

Saturday 18 October: 7.45 - 8.30am
Saturday 25 October: 7.45 - 8.30am
Saturday 1 November: 7.45 - 8.30am
