With the start of the new year comes the start of many peoples fitness journey, We have had lots of new and old faces coming in since the turn of the new year getting on track with their goals and making amazing progress. We have also had some staff making progress as well.

Last week Brandon finished his last shift at Mere Green after 5 years as a Fitness instructor. Whilst it is a sad loss to the team not to have him taking classes he will still be in club as he starts his journey into Personal Training. We are excited to see how he progresses on his new journey!

We have had a bit of a refresh of some of our gym floor and studio kit!

We have added some new foam rollers and refreshed the Gripr bags on the gym floor. If you've never used the Gripr bags they are a great bit of functional kit and you can get a full body workout in with just one. Foam rolling is a great way of recovering from your workouts and preparing your body for the next. Using a foam roller after your workouts can help relieve inflammation as well as increasing range of motion, flexibility and mobility. It has also been shown to help boost circulation and lymphatic flow reducing recovery times after a hard workout.

We have added a new 40kg heavy bag on the gym floor for our members to use. This can be found in our freestyle area at the front of the gym along with the TRX’s and Plyo boxes.

The boxing gloves and pads in the studio have also been updated for use in our boxfit and circuits classes. Get booked in for our classes through the Better UK app or on the website through the link below.

We have added some extra HIIT, LBT and pilates classes to the timetable due to high demand.
