The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed health and wellbeing to the forefront of everyone’s mind, whether that involves overcoming obstacles like the closure of gyms, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or having the extra time to form some new, healthier habits.

Children’s activity levels are dropping, according to research, which is believed to be as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In these challenging times, we’re proud to be doing our bit for our local communities by offering the use of our centres to support the Covid-19 vaccine roll out.

With a date now set for gyms to re-open (12 April) we are sure, like us, you’re counting down the days until we can all train together once again. Our new 1Life Plus membership is a great option to get the best of both worlds - train together in centre or at home alone using the Wellbeats online workouts. We’ve pulled together our top picks from the Wellbeats programme, which contains over 500 awesome online classes, which you can access whenever and wherever suits you.

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that we can enjoy a great work out in the comfort of our own home. In fact, it’s never been easier to access an amazing workout whenever and wherever suits you best.

For many parents, these are difficult - and often stressful - times.

February is officially the month of love, but there’s no doubt that this year our Valentine’s Day celebrations will look a bit different. Even though the usual plans may not be possible, we suggest how you could celebrate the most romantic day of the year with some ideas to keep the romance alive in lockdown.

With another period of lockdown restrictions currently in place and the coldest winter months on the horizon, it’s vital we look at how we can not only support our physical health in the coming months but also our mental health.

We’re sure that many of you have been missing your trips to the gym over the past few weeks and with fitness facilities in England now allowed to reopen, as of Wednesday 2nd December, we’re excited to welcome you back through our doors.

During the winter months when the temperatures drop and the nights are drawing in, it can be difficult to keep yourself motivated when it comes to exercise.
