Calling all you lovely ladies of a certain age!

Did you watch Davina McCall’s programme on the MENOPAUSE on Channel 4? After posting in my various Facebook groups last week on ‘MENOPAUSE MATTERS’ I had so many comments and conversations around this particular topic.    HOORAY, we are finally moving away from this as a ‘taboo’ subject!! The ‘Menopausal Muffin top’ – we all know […]

Saturday Mornings

I am running a Fresh Air Fitness session every Saturday Morning from 8.45am to 9.30am on The Green, Tadley.

Honestly, I thank my sanity for two things this year.   First is my routine,  getting up to be ready for my class with you Ali in the morning. You don’t know how much I appreciate having my various exercises do in the mornings.   Then the second is my new love for upcycling. I […]

Client Story – Lockdown Positives 1 ….

Somehow 2020 ended up helping me to really focus on what I want to achieve and has created the biggest feeling of drive and determination I have had in a long time. I’ve really been making the most of this time with no social events to further myself, and ended up enrolling in three separate […]
