☀️ GYM UPDATE - SUMMER HOLIDAYS ☀️

As we head into the summer holidays, you [our members] may notice that there will be some temporary adjustments to our timetables.

We may take a little longer to reply to messages, arrange meetings, etc. throughout the next months too.

As a family-run gym, we absolutely love what we do and we will be doing our best to ensure we can do as much as we can in the gym, however, it is also very important that we give time to our young family too.

We appreciate your understanding and support with this.

Thank you.

Brydie and Pete
