Wednesday 10 June

🎂 A quick update for this evening's classes...

It's my birthday today, and Maeve and Marion are taking me out for dinner, so I've decided to take the evening off and enjoy some family time.

Both classes will be covered by John, so you're in great hands this evening.

I'll be back teaching as normal tomorrow.

Have a lovely evening!

Matt

☀️ Just a quick reminder that there are no classes running on Monday due to the Bank Holiday, so you won’t see Monday sessions available to book on the website or Fit by Wix app.

Wishing everyone a lovely sunny May Bank Holiday!

See you later in the week 🙂
Matt

Just wanted to say a big thank you for everyone’s patience over the past week 🙏

I unfortunately missed a couple of classes due to illness, which has lingered a little longer than I’d hoped.

Huge thanks as well to the cover teachers who stepped in at only a few hours’ notice to help keep everything running smoothly 💛

I’m on the mend now and teaching this evening’s Dance Fitness class as normal. I do need to run off straight afterwards though, so I’ve arranged cover for Yoga.

I’m really pleased that Suzy has kindly offered to take the class. Many of you will already know her from attending Yoga, Dance Fitness and Circuits classes regularly. She’s a great fit for the atmosphere I try to create — teaching compassionately, with a very community-centred approach 🧘‍♀️

At the moment I’m planning to teach all other classes as normal this week.

See you in class,
Matt

📅 Quick reminder — Monday 25 May is a Bank Holiday, so there will be no classes running that day and you won’t see sessions available to book on the website or Fit by Wix app.

I’d also really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to complete my updated PAR-Q (Physical Activity Questionnaire) form if you haven’t already done so.

👉 Please use the Hopp link in my bio to access the form.

I’m moving this process online so that emergency contact and health information is easier for me to access if it’s ever needed. I’ve also removed the Google account restriction, so everyone should now be able to complete it easily.

I see this form as a starting point for a conversation about your health, so please come and have a chat if anything feels important 🙂

Thanks everyone,

📅 Quick Updates

Just a heads-up — next Monday is a Bank Holiday, so there are no classes that day.

I’m also moving my PAR-Q (health questionnaire) online to make it easier to access important details if needed.

📩 Please check your inbox or the latest newsletter for the link to complete the form over the coming weeks.

✅ No Google account needed anymore — anyone can complete it

If anything changes with your health or you pick up an injury, it’s always best to let me know directly. I’ll make sure you’re getting the right support and help you stay comfortable in class.

Thanks everyone — really appreciate it 🙌

📅 Class Updates

Just a quick heads-up about a couple of dates coming up.

There will be no classes on Friday 3 April or Monday 6 April due to the Bank Holidays, so those sessions won’t appear on the booking system.

I’ll also be taking a short break in April. Cover teachers will be running classes from Tuesday 14 April to Friday 17 April, so everything will continue as normal while I’m away.

I’ll confirm the cover instructors a little closer to the time.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the Fatto A Mano gift 🍕🍷

We had a brilliant meal — and yes, I was very much off-brand in this moment, lifting a slice of pizza in one hand and a glass of wine in the other instead of any actual weights 😄

Really touched by the gesture. It’s a joy to teach such a thoughtful and generous community.

See you in class!

Missed a spot in class? Don’t give up just yet! 👀

✨ I release 2 extra places every morning at 8am for each class that day — perfect if your plans change or you didn’t manage to book early.

💬 Plus, about 10% of clients cancel, often the night before or same-day — so it’s always worth checking back.

If you’ve booked but can’t make it, please email me as soon as you know — even if it’s within the 12-hour window. If I can fill your spot, I’ll credit the session back to your account.

Thanks for helping keep everything flowing smoothly — really appreciate it 🙌

See you in class!
Matt

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉
Hope you had a joyful Christmas and a good rest over the break.

Lovely to see so many of you back in class this morning!

🔔 Quick reminder: January & February are usually busy, so book early to grab your spot.
📅 Bookings open 2 weeks ahead
⏰ I also release 2 extra spots at 8am each morning for same-day classes — worth checking if you missed out!

❄️ It was icy this morning — please take care heading out. Wearing outdoor shoes to the venue and changing into trainers inside helps avoid slipping and keeps the hall safer and more comfortable.
