After tonight’s warm-up, we powered through a tough four-round strength circuit 💪 before switching things up with a reaction and hand–eye coordination challenges.

The new reaction game has been a big hit, with some people coming up with pretty ingenious ways to catch the moving target! Great energy, lots of laughs, and some seriously quick reflexes on display tonight 👏🔥

Jump box challenge accepted by Santi 💪

He got so into it that we ended up creating different levels 😊

Great session today — and for the first time, Santi jumped without holding my hand. Such a proud coach moment 🥰

Monday’s Trainee Coaching class started with one of our familiar group warm ups before moving into a more technical main set.

Our trainee coaches confidently demonstrated the exercises for the group as part of their learning and development, helping build their coaching skills and communication. The session participants, made up of our older athlete and Barn Mobility community, brought fantastic energy and enthusiasm as always.

This group is always great fun, with plenty of laughs and everyone leaving feeling happy and accomplished. We love finishing sessions with our Coaches vs Clients challenge… and we have to admit, the clients are getting very good at shooting hoops! We’ve even had to introduce a few distraction techniques to keep things competitive 😂🏀

Wow—where has January gone?!

It’s been a busy and brilliant month for our trainee coaches, who’ve been working hard to deliver top-notch coaching to our student athletes, aka the Barn-Mobility Crew 💙

In our flagship Wednesday night class, we’ve been learning how to pull objects—and discovering that sometimes it takes a real team effort!

Building peer interaction, teamwork, and friendships is at the heart of what we do, and we’re so proud of the connections forming along the way.

Friday night, Barnability treated all the incredible ladies who have got involved with the charity and helped drive it forward.

We celebrated in style at the annual Burns Night Ball – an amazing night full of familiar faces, new connections, and so many inspiring people doing brilliant work across the charity sector.

I also somehow managed to buy a garden summer house without my partner knowing… which caused great amusement on the night 😂

Shout out to this amazing trainee coach! 👏

(aka Jaimes) is truly showing all the attributes of an incredible coach 💪✨

One of our lovely student athletes recently had a little fall that knocked her confidence, which led to her taking a few weeks off. Determined not to let it hold her back, she was back in on Monday and couldn’t have been in better hands than with Max.

His patience, encouragement, and choice of words were amazing to watch. Our student athlete left the session absolutely buzzing, and it was incredible to see the confidence shift right in front of us.

Moments like this really show the difference our coaches are making for their clients ❤️

If you fancy trying a class, please get in touch!

Happy birthday William! 🎉💪

Birthday circuit for our student athletes today! The barn mobility crew got put through their paces with the occasional 25 reps or seconds thrown in to celebrate the birthday whilst the coaches busted out the dance moves! 🥳🔥

🔥 Throwback to Wednesday 🔥

Community Wednesday isn’t just about the athletes — it’s about the parents and carers too 💛

While our budding athletes were getting stuck into their workout, parents enjoyed a warm, welcoming space, fire on, chats flowing, and connections being made 🔥

Because community is built together — on and off the gym floor 💪✨

That was such an exciting start to the class! We got to meet Ted 🐶 He was loved by everyone—even Harry managed a stroke!

Thanks Steph Mawson for bringing Ted in! 🥰

Another amazing session with our trainee coaches and student athletes! 💪

Today we mixed things up with a strength circuit flowing straight into a core section.

Love seeing the weights creeping up and the big improvements in balance!

And as always… non-stop laughter 😄🔥
