Just because you want a sports massage, doesn't mean you don't want some comfort.... you can have hot stones, a heated couch, cosy blankets and a relaxing room... as well as an effective treatment in our beautiful room in Breamore near Fordingbridge.

There's an exhausting mental element to carrying an injury or persistent discomfort that people don't talk about enough.....

The constant background worry. Should I train today or rest? Am I making it worse? Will this stop me doing the things I love? The way it affects your confidence in your own body.

Getting proper assessment and treatment isn't just about fixing the physical issue. It's about lifting that mental burden. Having clarity about what's happening and what to do about it. Being able to trust your body again. That peace of mind is just as valuable as the physical recovery. Our sports injury clinic provides that clarity and creates a plan forward so you can stop worrying and start progressing.

Lots of lovely activity at the studio last week.....

Our bodies are constantly communicating with us. That ni**le in your knee. The persistent ache in your shoulder. The tightness that won't shift. These aren't just annoyances to push through. They're your body's way of saying "something needs attention here."
The challenge for active women is knowing when to listen. You're used to being strong, capable, getting things done. Sometimes that means ignoring discomfort when you shouldn't. This is where having access to proper sports injury assessment makes all the difference. Not just treatment but understanding what's actually happening in your body and having a clear path forward.

The Run Fit Fordingbridge sports injury clinic runs every week - expert assessment and treatment for active bodies that need support to keep moving well.

Find out why carbohydrates are your body’s essential fuel source and how to make smart choices that support your health and fitness goals. It’s all evidence-based, with references so you can explore the studies for yourself.

Did you know that wellness at Run Fit Fordingbridge goes way beyond just the physical training and massage?

At the studio you can also join in with Sound Bath relaxation sessions. If you've never experienced one, you're missing out on something pretty special. You simply lie on a mat while the sound waves from the bowls and gong wash over you - it's incredible how something so simple can help release tension and give your mind the space it needs to properly switch off. These sessions are perfect for everyone and are bookable as part of your studio membership. It's one of the ways I make sure we're looking after your complete well being, not just your physical fitness. Because let's be honest, we all need more moments to just stop and breathe.

Next session is Thursday 20th November. Booking is open online via the website

Why does HIIT training matter for women?
As we age, our hormones shift. Our metabolism changes. We lose muscle mass and bone density faster than men.
But here's the good news: the right type of training can counter all of this.

That's what HIT ADAPT delivers.

Built on Dr. Stacy Sims' research in female physiology, this isn't your typical HIIT class. It's semi-private training - maximum 7 women per coached session - so you get the attention and modifications you need. Short bursts of effort with proper recovery periods. Low-impact but highly effective and suitable for all fitness levels.
The benefits? Better hormone balance. Improved insulin sensitivity. Enhanced brain health and cognitive function. Stronger bones and cardiovascular fitness. Lean muscle retention and fat loss.
Training designed for how your body actually works.

HIT ADAPT starts 31st October at 7:45am on Friday mornings.

Find out more or book online via the Run Fit Fordingbridge website.

Today is World Mental Health Day.
At a time when it feels like there is a lot going on in the world - never mind what is going on in our own personal lives - things can feel quite uncertain. Uncertainty can have such a destabilising effect that we can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under us. When we are struggling with our mental health, quite often our healthy habits are the first to slip away. You may have stopped being active, eating well, or pulled back from the people who care about you. You can feel lonely and isolated.
When life feels overwhelming, reaching out can feel like the hardest thing to do. But talking is good for your mental health. Whether it's a friend, a training partner, someone in your community, or a helpline, there are people who want to listen.
At Run Fit Fordingbridge, movement and community are at the heart of what we do because we know how much they support mental wellbeing.
If you're struggling, please talk to someone.
If someone around you seems to be struggling, reach out and ask how they are. Really ask. Really listen.
We can't control everything that happens in the world or in our lives. But we can show up for each other.
