LEARN TO LIFT
LEARN TO LIFT
Do you have a gym membership but feel like you are not getting the most out of it because you don’t know what to do with half of the equipment? Would you like to venture away from the machines but are too scared to set foot in the free weights section?
TRX TUTORIALS
TRX TUTORIALS
The TRX is a highly versatile piece of training equipment that can be used by anyone in any environment. A staple at most gyms now it’s also a great addition to any home gym and can be used to build strength and mobility.
NORDIC WALKING
Originally developed from the summer training regime of cross-country skiers Nordic Walking uses specially designed poles to enhance your natural walking experience, allowing the activity to become a full body exercise, burning up to 46% more calories than ordinary walking.
It is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels and anyone recovering from injury, as well as pre and post natal women.
EAT WELL
What we eat has a powerful role to play in how we look and feel, but too many people are stuck in a cycle of ‘quick-fix’ diets. What if we told you that a sustainable approach to healthy eating is not as difficult as you may think, that a little knowledge goes a long way and can revolutionise your eating habits and literally change your life?
If you want to understand why not only what you eat, but how you move, sleep and handle stress are so important to maintaining your strength, vitality, ability to train and sense of wellness then check out our nutrition services.

ABOUT US
At Flexion Fitness we believe fitness should be fun as well as keeping you healthy and feeling great, no matter what your age. We offer a range of options for those with a gym phobia to individuals who work out on a regular basis, whether you are looking to lose weight, increase your strength, flexibility or stamina, train for a sporting challenge event or just feel fitter and healthier.
We all know that we should exercise and eat well to stay healthy, but we also have a multitude of excuses not to. But, when you look at the health risks of inactivity and a poor diet, the argument to get up, get active and take better care of yourself becomes more compelling.
And yes it might be hard work, but think of that sense of achievement when you drop a clothes size, get a personal best or find you can do things you never dreamt of.

I love working out and keeping fit and healthy and doing this job means I get to share my passion and encourage others to live a healthier lifestyle, get in shape and feel great about themselves. Previously a runner and cardio queen I have spent the last seven years focusing on my CrossFit training and now love nothing more than lifting heavy weights and developing my strength and gymnastics skills. I enjoy meeting new people and like to think I am friendly and approachable. I get a buzz out of watching clients develop not only their skills and strength but also their confidence, it's never too late to start exercising and the benefits to your physical and mental health are undeniable. At the age of 51 I am fit and strong so I like to encourage clients to never let age stand in their way and when it comes to women one of the best ways to keep the menopause weight off (other than paying attention to your diet) is weight training, which also has the added benefit of keeping your bones strong and healthy and warding off osteoporosis.
