Circuit & fitness training - 18 years old plus: Sunday mornings (2 sessions at 8.45am and 10.00am) run by Wendy Summerfield (07801 810665)

“I aim to make the sessions fun and varied as well as effective in improving fitness with a mixtur e of cardio and resistance exercises. I give lots of options so that people can work at their own pace and not worry about injury as I’m very aware that not everybody is an athlete. We all have our aches and pains, but that shouldn’t put people off exercise as in my opinion it’s the best medicine you can have. The groups are very friendly and informal creating a relaxed atmosphere making it ideal for new people to give it a go!”
