“You think you reach the point where you can’t play sports anymore because you’re too old - but sessions like this give an opportunity. Kicking a ball is a good emotional release and also the camaraderie on the social side is really uplighting.”

Hayley and Toby
“Anyone can say I'll do that later, but you have to think about mindset over matter and you will enjoy it so much more after the fact. It's the feeling you get after the class, you could be aching, but you just feel so empowered afterwards.”
