Get fitter when training side by side

We see plenty of friends join our gyms together. There are fantastic reasons to as it means both encourage each other to go, and push each other to achieve more when they’re there – and so get fitter when training side by side. Plus it’s more fun! That’s on the way, during and afterwards as you warm down together.

National BBQ Week

All this week the country is celebrating National BBQ Week, when the air will be filled with the smells and sounds of summer… the great British weather permitting! BBQs in Britain used to be about crusty charcoal, lots of smoke and burnt burgers. Now with even the celebrity chefs singing the praises of BBQs, the nation has come a long way.
