🚴‍♀️ A New Chapter Begins! 🎉

On 20th July, we started the next exciting phase of our Centre upgrade transforming the old music room into an amazing new spin studio.

After all the hard work, preparation and a whole lot of pedalling behind the scenes, we’re now ready to welcome you in! 🙌✨

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped make this happen. We can’t wait to see the studio buzzing with energy, motivation and plenty of smiles. ❤️

Ian is especially looking forward to welcoming the lucky riders booked onto the first class at 6:30am tomorrow morning! 🌅🚴‍♂️

Here’s to a fresh new space, new challenges, new goals and lots of great rides ahead!

Let’s get those pedals turning! 🔥💪🚴‍♀️

REMINDER:

From 10th-13th August, we'll be out and about capturing photos and videos at a range of our sessions to help showcase the incredible work we do and, most importantly, the amazing people who make our charity so special.

We'll be joined by a professional external filming company, alongside members of our Marketing Team, who may also be chatting to members who would like to share their story, journey, review or testimonial about their experience with us.

The content captured will help us raise awareness of our charity and the difference our sessions make. Photos and videos will be used across a wide range of marketing and advertising channels, including:

✨ Social media
✨ Leaflets and other printed materials
✨ Press and PR activity
✨ Billboards and advertisements
✨ Events and presentations
✨ Internal and external communications
✨ And much more

There's absolutely no obligation to take part in interviews or testimonials, but if you'd be happy to share your experience, we'd love to hear from you. Your story could help inspire others to take that first step and get involved. 😊
