LOCKDOWN 2.0
Hi Everyone
We will be taking our classes online once again for this new lockdown period. In fact we never stopped as it was very popular for a great many people.
Watch this space for our timetable coming by the end of the week (all children and young peoples classes in Marlow remain on the same days and times - we just transfer over)
All current clients have been or an in the process of being contacted by email. Please bear with us whilst we implement these changes
Anyone is welcome to join our online community - its fun and inclusive and a great way to keep active alongside getting outside for lots of vitamin D and walks, runs and cycles.
Stay safe and well and we look forward to remaining connected
