Not sure if this is for you or if it will actually help? Here’s what some of our previous customers had to say.
“I can honestly say I have not looked back. The changes I’ve made have been huge — my joints are not as sore, my body movement and sleep are so much better, and I finally feel good about myself again. This has changed me physically, but it has also changed me as a person.” - Amanda
“It was a very relaxed and non-judgemental atmosphere. Between the short presentations, Steph showed us how to get the best out of the gym equipment and answered any questions. I would recommend it for anyone who is peri or menopausal.” - Nicola
