Whats happening in Mere Green?

Looking back at the last couple of months at Better Gym Mere Green, it’s safe to say that it has been a busy and exciting time for both our team and members. From timetable changes and new classes to our Tough Mudder challenge and the final event of the year, there has been plenty going on. So, let’s take a look back at some of the highlights!

In July, 37 members of staff and the Better Gym Mere Green community travelled to Belvoir Castle to take part in the Tough Mudder challenge. The event saw everyone take on a tough 5KM course, where participants were challenged to wade, swim and run through mud, climb over walls and even take on ice baths! While it was certainly a challenge, everyone saw the event as a fantastic opportunity to work together as a team and make sure nobody was left behind.

Working together, supporting one another and encouraging each other throughout the course, the group spent around three hours completing the challenge. Once everyone had made it across the finish line, it was time to celebrate the achievement with a well-earned drink before heading back on the coach together. The day didn’t end there, either, as the group stayed out for a social to celebrate everything they had achieved and the fears they had overcome. It was a brilliant day and a great example of the community spirit we have here at Better Gym Mere Green.

Looking ahead, our final event of the year will be our Member Celebration and Social at The White Lion. We have the venue booked from 5pm on 14th November, giving everyone the opportunity to come together, celebrate their achievements from throughout the year and enjoy an evening with fellow members and staff. Community is very much at the heart of everything we do, and as a staff team, we cannot thank everyone enough for everything they have contributed to the centre this year. Tickets sold out within just one week, but you can still add your name to the waiting list in case any spaces become available.

Finally, we want to take a moment to look back at our Annual User Survey from June. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to complete it and for all the lovely comments and feedback you shared about our team and centre. We have listened carefully to your suggestions and have already started making changes based on your feedback.

As of the last week, we have introduced fruit teas in our coffee area, giving members another option to enjoy. We also heard lots of feedback about the availability and space in our yoga and Pilates classes. In response, we have added three new yoga and Pilates classes throughout the week. We’re also excited to welcome back a familiar face to teach some of these sessions, so be sure to keep an eye on the timetable and get yourselves booked in!

As we head into the final push of the year, we want to keep the positive energy and community spirit going strong. We cannot wait to celebrate with everyone at our Member Celebration and Social, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for Better Gym Mere Green!
