If you have ever felt anxiety or trepidation about going to the gym, you have experienced a type of ‘gymtimidation’.

One may feel intimidated by a gym for many different and personal reasons. You may feel you don’t have enough knowledge of the equipment, perhaps it’s your first time and you’re unsure how you’ll fit in. Everybody has felt self-conscious at one time or another.

What causes this and how can you start to understand it? Read our latest blog to find out more > https://bit.ly/3vAtqKe

NEW BLOG!

When we think of work/life balance it’s usually life that gets the “hit”. Unfortunately, many professionals still struggle to get past their assumptions (and their deeply ingrained habits) around work hours, despite the overwhelming data that suggests that working long hours can be harmful to both employees and companies.

How can you strike this balance?

International Men’s Day on the 19th November, and Men’s Mental Health month throughout are a time to raise awareness around men’s mental health challenges, positive masculinity and what we can do to create better spaces for support.

This week, we’re sharing our stories of challenges and motivations to get the conversation started.

Anytime Fitness UK sponsors Hadleigh United Veterans FC to support this. The club is a safe place for men over 35 to bond, communicate and help each other out. They’re one big family that looks out for each other, their families, and local communities.

Ben Dixon shared his experience with the club.

“In January 2017 I put a message out on Facebook asking if anyone over 35 years of age wanted to get their football boots back on and join a veteran’s team. It was being set up to get “blokes” together to have a kickabout, a pint and maybe a chat if the felt they needed to.

On the first training session, 6 guys turned up, the youngest being 38 and the oldest being 58.

Now 5 years later we have 54 players signed on to the club which has evolved to not just being about football, although we still train on Thursday and play in the Norfolk & Suffolk Veterans League. We do a lot of work for charity, whether it be fitness challenges or spending a Sunday afternoon in our local care home playing backgammon with the residents (now known as Hadleigh Vets to Vets). We volunteer at the local kids’ youth clubs known as the Porch Project, we do “talk sessions” where guys can just simply come have a chat about how they are feeling, just to name a few.

We along with our families have created a large following in the community and are now associated with Hadleigh United Football Club our local Semi-Professional team of which I now sit on the committee.

The 58-year-old from the beginning is now 63 and still plays for us!!”

At Anytime Fitness UK, everyone knows Tino, he embodies the concept of making healthy happen for everyone he meets.

This month he’s encouraging us all to commit to 30 minutes of any type of movement, 5 times per week to raise awareness and funds for men's health. For all the dads, brothers, sons, and mates in our lives. We want to stop men dying too young.

And he’s gone one step further and started a series of personal challenges to get as many people as possible talking this month.

Movember actions taken so far to raise awareness and funds:

💜 Purposely shaved on Friday morning after the AFUK annual conference to raise awareness on the day
💜 Sent 100s of personal messages to colleagues, friends, suppliers and partners
💜 Explained the importance of this month internally
💜 Set 2 MyZone Challenges - 1 internal with the SO team and 1 external both called: Move for Movember
💜 Raised awareness at his local gym
💜 Created a Facebook fundraiser

“I know it sounds a bit cliché, but this is all in line with our AF core values to coach, care and connect and with the purpose to make healthy happen.”

International Men’s Day on the 19th November, and Men’s Mental Health month throughout are a time to raise awareness around men’s mental health challenges, positive masculinity and what we can do to create better spaces for support.

This week, we’re sharing our stories of challenges and motivations to get the conversation started.

Today we have Ben Allen! Our Head of Franchise Performance who finds solace in sports.

“Participating in Sports and training regularly is my chill pill. It helps me to focus on what’s important and puts things into perspective. I never regret a workout or making time for myself. I’m a better version of myself when I’m taking care of myself and feel I’m a more patient and tolerant dad to my son.”

Men’s mental health has been rightfully highlighted across healthcare platforms and the media in the last few years. One such example is Movember, a month when issues faced by men in society are highlighted and opportunities for open discussions are created.

Depression and anxiety have been diagnosed more in females than males but statistics show that males are less likely to reach out for support and professional help than women.

Men, in particular, report having work-related stress, financial stress, and stress related to their own health. If the symptoms persist for weeks or months, it’s time to reach out to professional help like your General Practitioner. Online support platforms are also a great option to take into account when looking for professional help.

International Men’s Day on the 19th November, and Men’s Mental Health month throughout are a time to raise awareness around men’s mental health challenges, positive masculinity and what we can do to create better spaces for support.

This week, we’re sharing our stories of challenges and motivations to get the conversation started.

Today we have Luke Pilkington-Amps! Our Head of Procurement shares a lockdown experience that many will be able to relate to.

“Fitness has helped me, and many others overcome the effects of the pandemic. Not seeing friends and family left people feeling isolated and over the course of the two years, like many others I felt my body deteriorate. Whilst working from home and reducing the social/work interactions I found myself getting weaker and subsequently unhappier.

However, being part of a local football team and joining a gym has been a breath of fresh air as it gives me a great outlet to socialise and feel better about my physical health. Which in turn has compounded and supported my mental health even further.

My advice for anyone struggling would be to find a sport or exercise you enjoy and see the benefits for yourself.”

This afternoon we have Tom Davies! Our no-nonsense Director of Marketing draws motivation from being able to make healthy happen for others.

“Sport and the gym are real sanctuaries for me personally, both physically and mentally. Being able to wake up every day knowing I’m able to have that same positive impact on other people’s lives is a source of great pride and motivation for me. I love what I do and couldn’t do it in any other industry.”
