First Steps to Fitness - London

British Military Fitness are offering 500 free places on our initial First Steps to Fitness scheme in London. The places are designed specifically for individuals who are intimidated by gyms, lack the motivation to exercise themselves or who would be better off exercising in groups rather than on their own.

This is our first step into the area of referrals through public health channels, and we are keen for maximum uptake.

First Steps Classes

Classses start on February 1st 2008. These will run alongside normal classes at our London Hyde Park and Clapham common from Monday to Saturday inclusive. For more information on timetables and details see www.britmilfit.com
Classes will involve brisk walking, some very light short distance jogging and some paired exercises. We always work with the weakest member of the group in mind
Individuals on the scheme will be required to wear normal BMF gear eg trainers, tracksuit or similar. They will not be required to wear bibs although First Steps classes will run alongside our normal priogramme
If after time (And at the discretion of our Lead Instructors at Hyde Park and Clapham Common) individuals feel able to take part in normal classes, then they will be encouraged to do so. February will remain a free month for them

Booking Places

There are 500 FREE places on the scheme. These must be booked at BMF central by emailing barney@britmilfit.com. We will be closely monitoring uptake of places to identify organisations who are effective at delivering people for future schemes similar to this one
Places can be block booked by PCT's, health professionals or other group leaders involved in this area

Further information

If uptake is good and we get the results we hope for, we will look to roll this scheme out in other big venues around the country. As the UK's biggest provider of outdoor fitness classes, we will have National coverage by the end of this year and will look to roll this out at bigger venues where we have demand.

Please call Barney Larkin on 0207 751 9742 for more information.

		I love BMF, everyone gets on well; it is more sociable than a gym, especially when you are giving someone a piggy back! *Emily Ogden* At BMF, 70% of people sign up after their FREE trial class. Most people love it so much they stay for over a year. *Barney Larkin* After every session you really feel like you have worked and sweated and there is a great level of camaradary *Jenni Regan* BMF is certainly the most fun I've had for fitness exercise. You and your colleagues are doing a great job *Nick Littlewood* I am now the fittest I have ever been *Bryan Jones*
