Member of the Month

Helen Court

Allow us to introduce, Helen Court

When Helen joined us in September 2021, her aim was to get fitter and build up her strength, but to also use the gym as an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Helen has since been showing fantastic improvements using a combination of PT sessions and classes. She is now regularly in classes and is one of the first names on the list!

Helen has been incredibly consistent during her time at Hoebridge. Whether it be in the gym, having a private PT session, or up in the studio for a class, she is a great example to others on what it takes to achieve your goals and enjoy yourself in the process.

We are excited to see a lot more of Helen throughout the rest of the year, and hope to see her in plenty more classes so she can continue her journey.

Helen said: “I have loved my regular PT sessions and I really enjoy a mix of classes. As well as noticing an improvement in my fitness and strength, I have made some lovely new friends at the gym!”

From the whole team at the gym at Hoebridge, a huge congratulations and keep up the great work!
