With the theme “Get Fighting Fit For 2020”, our clubs will be holding a variety of activities over the open weekend, particularly encouraging people to try some boxing moves and combat-based exercise routines and see how they can kick and punch their way into the new decade and start fighting their way to fitness.

Some of our clubs are launching exciting new Les Mills classes in January too - taking your workouts to the next level for serious results - and are offering taster sessions and sample classes to showcase these over the open weekend. The Les Mills mantra is "Make a bad day good and a good day great. Lift your spirits, challenge your body, change your life!"

These are just some of the classes you can try and other things that our regional clubs have laid on during the Open Weekend to help kick that January lethargy into touch!
