We are pleased to announce that we are re-starting our classes after the COVID-19 pandemic break.
The restrictions which are still in place will not allow us to exercise at our full potential and train with partners for the moment. For this reason our first month(s) of post-COVID activities will have a restricted time table, matched by a reduced monthly fee. The lessons we can offer at the moment will be very similar to the ones in my videos which you can watch by following this link: contactless, COVID safe and still lot of fun. We will be offering the following:
We are looking forward to seeing many of you back at training; please join us from 1st September at 7pm.

We’ll be running live classes from Facebook so if you fancy training keep your Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday training time free and follow me on Facebook from this link
