Do you have feet ?








Debates are always interesting and none more so than those in the Wellness / Fitness Industry.

  • Static stretching vs AIS  
  • Carb’s or no carb’s 
  • Yoga vs Pilates  
  • Gym vs Bodyweight training 

All these topics and trust me many more could have a room of professionals discussing and arguing for hours and hours. 

At our Centre we work quite a lot with runners and there is always the question of shoes, what type style or none at all !! take a look at this very interesting article I received recently

For more than 40 years, people in the West have been running on built-up “squishy” shoes, hoping to prevent injury and go faster. Yet “barefoot” runners argue that running without shoes or in minimal footwear is safer and better.

Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter  We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with - the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise system Tabata – What is it? Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results  - he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it wor...
