Jenny Jones wins another gold! In the early hours of Sunday morning in Colorado Jenny won gold for the second year running in the World X games, the pinnacle of her sport and we would like to congratulate her on this awesome achievement.  http://bit.ly/cRGbXy

"I came to your practice after having ACL knee reconstruction, and the team designed a comprehensive rehabilitation programme for me. I felt really looked after and they understood my worries over my ability to reach my personal goals following the surgery. The programme proved immensely succesful. To have that kind of support and back-up was amazing and it enabled me to achieve my true potential. I have to say a massive thank you to everyone for all the support - there is a real personal approach."

I teach all levels and abilities, from very beginners, and people with health and medical concerns, to advanced practitioners and fitness enthusiasts. I am experienced in one-to-one teaching for specialist requirements and attention. My ethos is to offer a fun and all inclusive approach, whilst placing emphasis on the individual’s skills and capabilities.”
 
We hope to offer a 1hr ‘after work’ class and a 45 min lunchtime class, and early morning classes could be available if wanted!

If you are wanting to take part, our Personal Trainer Ed Ley has been contacted by Above and Beyond Charities who have ten places left for the Bristol Half Marathon.

As we are now so close to the event, they are asking for £35 per runner to cover what they paid for the places, plus whatever the runner can raise in sponsorship, with no minimum.

Above & Beyond Charities is the charity for all nine hospitals within University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and they fund projects which touch the lives of the thousands of people cared for by the Hospitals and their local community services each year. Their current major Appeal is the CaRE Appeal, aiming to raise £500,000 as part of a commitment to transform the Bristol Hematology and Oncology Centre, which treats thousands of Cancer patients from Bristol and the South West each year.

Runners can choose to support this Appeal, or pick their own part of the hospital to support. 

As an added bonus, they have also teamed up with luxury mega yacht Harmony, which is moored by the registration stand, offering a place to meet, store bags and go for a change and shower after the race in one of their Hilton Hotel style suites. There will be rehydration and sports massage after the race for the runners, with the opportunity to buy food and drink. Spectators can also buy tickets at £10 each.

If you are interested give Ed a call on 07814 854421
