Have you signed up for a marathon this year? If not, why not? Now couldn’t be a better time to set your goals for the year! So why not get motivated and sign up to run a marathon?! This will pave out your training for the winter months. Of course it’s daunting, but just think, [...]
Why do I go to the Better Body Group gym? To lose weight and get fitter and, because somewhat perversely, I enjoy it! How could you not. Everyone from the staff on the front desk to all the trainers make you feel so welcome. You are given masses of encouragement from everybody even when you may have never had a training [...]
For the couple of months prior to embarking on a 6 week fitness challenge, I had been dipping in and out of training sessions with my mum at the Better Body Group. I really enjoyed the sessions but did not feel committed as I was not working towards any specific goal and I had no [...]

Running was painful, and I couldn't squat, plank or do much other than basic exercises. With the help of my wonderful trainer Lucy, who has [...]
Every time I go through the door of the Better Body Group I am reminded of why I’m here. I love the friendly greeting I receive, always by name, each time I enter the gym by all of the trainers. Like all clients, I am made to feel welcome and valued. And each time I [...]
