We’re making a change we should have made sooner: **Inner Athlete will now be closed every Sunday, effective immediately.**
Here’s the thing, we run this gym because we believe in strength, wellness, and living well. That includes *us*. James and I have two small kids, and we’ve realised that trying to patch together Sunday cover while juggling family time isn’t sustainable, and it’s not fair to anyone, most of all our boys.
A gym is only as strong as the people running it. When we’re spread thin, you feel it. When we’re present, rested, and actually *with* our families, we show up better for all of you.
This means:
- Monday–Saturday, we’re fully here for you
- NEW: 11am Strength Saturday with Jess to help cover the lost Sunday slot! So we’re not actually down any classes!
- More energy and focus during opening hours
- Better programming and coaching (because we’re actually rested!)
- Setting a boundary we should have set months ago
- it is just three hours opening time lost so that we are able to concentrate on being parents and a family for a whole day. Something we’ve never actually been able to do.
If this deeply affects your training schedule get in touch with us ASAP. We get it, Sunday might have worked for some of your schedules. If you need to chat about alternative times or have concerns, come and talk to us. We’re not going anywhere; we’re just protecting what matters. And the fact is you can’t please everyone 💕
Thanks for understanding. We’re building something sustainable here, and that includes looking after our family. We love each and every one of you who uses our gym. We are fully investing in more exciting skill sets such as senior qualifications so that Jess can begin another Senior Strength day, more teen classes over the summer holidays and more 3:1 slots as we continue to grow with you! ❤️
