In their words
What members say
Very friendly and welcoming, great classes. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to lose weight, get fit or even just to escape life for a few hours a week.
I just did the Alcester 10k in 58 mins because of all the help you've given me over the past 10 months. I couldn't have achieved that without your help, support and encouragement.
Most proud that I've actually stuck to it, as I usually have zero willpower. On saying that, I've not stuck to it religiously, but I think that's what's good about this plan: it reflects real life.
