Your body can stand anything. It’s your mind that you have to convince. Having been active from a young age and taking part in various sports, I have learned along the way that what’s easy won’t last, and what lasts won’t come easy. With that I can understand and relate to my clients no matter what their goals are and seeing them achieve them, becoming happy and confident, is so rewarding.
Dear valued Member and our Sports Community
On March 20th we put the lights out temporarily at Banks O’ Dee Sports Club. It’s been an emotional time and our thoughts are with our Fitness Team family and our members as we all navigate unchartered territory. We’re a Sports Club charity / not for profit organisation where all our income is derived from membership fees and sports bookings which were wiped out overnight.
Throughout March we have endeavoured to provide you with our own online workouts to keep you motivated and to let you know we’re here for you. With immediate effect it is with regret that we have to Furlough all our team to make sure we survive the coming weeks and months. For now, we are unable to bring you the instructor Live classes but will continue to offer a library of workouts from our instructors that you can access via our website. The
Les Mills on demand link is also available and we are hopeful of becoming an affiliate partner with Les Mills in the coming days which will bring you even more opportunity for classes on demand.
Our website will continue to be updated with the most recent information and will have a focused page with the library of all available workouts for you to use at home.
Thank you again for your ongoing support, understanding and kind messages – we really do appreciate it. We are in this together and we look forward to welcoming you all back as soon as possible.
Stay safe and keep active.
