EXCITING TIMES AT BARNABILITY! πŸ’šπŸ’—

We’re growing fast… and we’re looking for more amazing people to join our Barnability family! πŸ₯³

πŸ‹οΈ COACHES
We’re looking for qualified coaches who want to use their skills to help improve the lives of people with additional needs through movement, fitness and community.

πŸ™Œ VOLUNTEERS
You don’t need to be a coach or have loads of experience. If you’re passionate about supporting others, getting involved and making a difference, we’d love to hear from you!

πŸ’š BARN MOBILITY ATHLETES
And we always have room for more athletes in our Barn Mobility classes! Our trainee coaches are developing their coaching skills, confidence and leadership while helping our athletes move, learn and have fun.

Because Barnability is more than just a gym β€” it’s friendships, confidence, opportunities, adventures and a community where everyone belongs. ❀️

Fancy being part of it?

πŸŽ‰ Happy Birthday Imogen! πŸŽ‰

Tonight we celebrated Imogen’s birthday with another outdoor circuit! πŸ’ͺ🌳

We brought out the boxing gloves πŸ₯Š and they were a HUGE hit with everyone! There was plenty of fun, energy and some very enthusiastic punches! πŸ˜‚

Before heading inside for birthday cake πŸŽ‚, Niamh had a go at recording the video for the session β€” and she did such a great job! πŸŽ₯πŸ‘ We even tried talking in the video too! πŸ˜‚

Enjoy celebrating your birthday weekend with your family, Imogen! ❀️ We hope you have a brilliant time! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‚

🧠πŸ’ͺ Learning to move. Learning to coach. Improving lives.

Functional Patterns is complicated! Our trainee coaches are learning how the body works as an integrated system, understanding movement, gait, balance and coordination β€” and then learning how to use that knowledge to help improve the lives of our Barn Mobility athletes. ❀️

It’s a lot to take in, but they are absolutely smashing it!

Watching them learn, grow in confidence and use their new skills to help others is pretty special. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’™

Last night we took the gym outside β€” literally! 🌳πŸ’ͺ

All our athletes worked really hard through the circuits, which included a mix of strength, cardio and a wee bit of hand-eye coordination.

Great work from everyone! πŸ‘πŸ’š

Well, we didn’t realise we had a speedster in our midst! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

Great to have Lawson join us last night and WOW… what a runner! He absolutely flew up the hill β€” not once, not twice, but FOUR times, flying past everyone! πŸ˜‚

So we decided to challenge him with a longer loop to the bridge. His mission? Get there before the entire group reached it by taking the shorter route!

Yup… he managed it! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
Brilliant running from Lawson β€” and a huge well done to everyone else who kept pushing and giving it their all! πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
