Concept of Fitness 

Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods promotes a healthy lifestyle, and that incorporates the need to look after your mental, emotional and physical health. One very important way to do that is to maintain a good level of fitness – and that naturally means exercise.

That word “exercise” can be scary. People naturally assume you must go running for an hour, or get to the gym and pump weights. But actually, it is more about movement, flexibility, and trying to push your own boundaries. Of course, due to age, size, illness and disability, it is inevitable people can struggle to complete physical exercise. But it is important to do what you can. The effects on your body can prevent disease, Strokes and even various Cancers. It helps with breathing, joints, and strength.

You have One body, and One life, and you have a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure you give yourself the best chance of having a long productive life.

​

This is why Healthy Minds, healthy Bods runs group fitness sessions, free to participants, which are tailored so everyone can participate, but also encourage, motivate and push people to better health and fitness. We want sessions to be fun, fresh, and introduce people to the many different ways they can work on their health at home. Yes, we do these in a gym environment if possible, but that is just to bring people together. Exercise can be done anywhere; in the park, at home - and is even better with a friend with you.
