This is a beginner-friendly meetup for people aged 25–30 who want to improve their health and wellbeing in a relaxed, supportive way. This is not a coached session — I’m a beginner too. The goal is to move a little, learn from each other, and build healthy habits together without pressure or judgment. We’ll do some **l**ight movement or a short walk, followed by stretching and casual conversation about wellbeing and what we’d like to try in future meetups. All fitness levels welcome. Everything is optional. Come as you are.

A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games. Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it. We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different. Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before. Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part! Who knew getting fit could be this fun? **TO BOOK**: It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

**Aqua Strength – Pure Strength in the Pool** Dive into a new kind of strength training with **Aqua Strength**, a low-impact water workout designed to boost strength, cardio fitness, flexibility, and balance—all while being easy on the joints. Perfect for all fitness levels, including those managing arthritis, recovering from injury, or simply seeking a supportive and effective workout. At **Workout with Pride**, we believe fitness should evolve with you. That’s why we’ve infused the core elements of our "Pure Strength" program into the pool—focusing on mobility, muscle retention, and bone health with a deliberately slower pace. Expect purposeful movement, proper rest intervals, and a focus on refining your form, all in a welcoming, body-positive environment. Whether you're aging gracefully, getting back into movement, or just love the water, this class offers a fun, inclusive way to build strength, improve mobility, and feel empowered in your body. **Spaces are limited—secure your spot and shape a stronger, healthier future with us!** **Healthy Reagrds, Mark**
