Prime Health and Fitness

🏆 Congratulations to our Halfway Hero of 2026… Sinead Hart🏅

Sinead is the definition of someone who gives more than she takes. When I need someone to step in and cover an early morning circuit class, she’s been there without hesitation. When one of our members needs encouragement, she’s one of the first to offer it. When I’m training for another daft event, she’s right behind me, following every update, cheering me on and reminding me that there’s a gym full of people willing me to succeed.

(Although… if I DNF, she’s taking over the gym and painting everything pink😳🎀)

She likes reminding everyone that I’m “skinny”… and last week’s holiday photos were apparently achieved with tanning filters and AI muscles. Her banter is relentless… and absolutely first class… if I had feelings, they’d probably be hurt😅

Jokes aside though, she’s quietly become an incredibly strong endurance athlete. After discovering trail running, she smashed her way through the She Ultra 50K on the Llyn Peninsula, powered around the Yorkshire Three Peaks looking like she had more mountains left in her legs, and is now deep into training alongside her sister Kylie for a 75km Peak District Challenge this September.

She’s proving that hard work, consistency and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone can take you to some amazing places.

Most importantly…

She’s one of those people who makes Prime feel like home.

Supportive.
Reliable.
Selfless.
Funny.
Hard-working.

The kind of person every community hopes to have.

Cheers to you, Sinead. Thank you for everything you do for me, for our members and for helping make Prime the place it is. Enjoy the Prosecco—you’ve earned every drop of it. 🥂

Wirral Backyard Ultra. 4.167 miles every hour on the hour until you drop. Absolutely in awe of Melanie Rowland Sarah Swan and Kev for stepping into the arena and having a go. Humbling experience and an honour for myself and Natalie McLellan to be their official support crew throughout the event… bad influence you are girl!🍻

And thank you to Deborah Howell and AJT Sports Therapy & Pilates for extended stints of assistance too, a proper team effort! Great to see so many of our guys come down to show support as well Danielle Davenport Vasea Filip Charl Williams Lucia Gregorova Lesley McColl Claire Keegan to name but a few🙏🏻

Rest and recover my team. Looking forward to the next one💪🏻

Right, three weeks of showering in a bucket at the back of a van is all well and good, but it’s time to get back to work before I end up with dreadlocked hair and beard and I’m sporting clothes depicting Native American scenes complete with wolves howling at the moonlight… but if anyone has any tie dye going spare and/or incense sticks, I’m well getting into it!👌🏻

See you for group sessions 7:30am, 9:30am & 5:30pm. PTs are all booked in as well. I’ve missed you🫶🏻

I mean, not the actual reason for the size difference between them, but I like the sentiment. And love seeing all of you making progress and moving forwards💪🏻

Stay at it. I’m rooting for you🫵🏻

Change of pace and scenery for AP1.0👌🏻😎☀️

And I heard Amanda Catchpole has been complaining about tidying up while I’m away… turns out she’s had Franz on the brush🧹

Proper little gym master in the making… wonder what his coffee making skills are like though?☕️

Thanks for your hard work young’un, apologies that the pay is so sh!t😅

The VK, Chamonix🇫🇷

A Vertical Kilometre starting from the church in town. The route takes you on a steep zigzag path that follows the Brevent skilift to Planpraz station. Heavy graft in the heat! Lovely bit of scrambling and slight via Ferrata to finish it off. What a great challenge and the best view of Mont Blanc for a Coke before running a different trail down😎

Congratulations to Debi Blaney on being named Member of the Month for June. Never did I think I’d see her settle into a four gym sessions a week routine plus a weekend walk and some Yoga or Pilates too! And she deserves it for being so sound anyway, ‘s favourite rosso merda💯

Well in, Deb! Keep at it mate💪🏻

Trails in Trient🇨🇭

15k circular up to Col de Balme for views of Mont Blanc🏔️

Member of the Month for May ‘26 is our Kylie Bartley 🙌🏻… sorry it’s so late😬

Trains hard every time she’s in, smashing PBs over multiple distance and finding her feet fully with trail running and Ultra distance… and judging by her profile picture, enjoys a bit of catfishing of a weekend just like her sister Sinead Hart

Congratulations Kylie! You hit your sessions so hard you’re both a dream and a nightmare training partner for anyone! John Paul sends all his love💪🏻
