A gym for most people is simply a place to go and exercise but for many of us taking part in classes at The National Water Sports Centre Gym (Holme Pierrepont Country Park) it has become so much more than that. We’ve created a community and friendships that go above and beyond going through the nightmare of burpees, jump lunges and squats together! We’ve organised Christmas bootcamps, baby showers and had some amazing social nights.

Our next challenge involves a group of us taking on The Yorkshire Three Peaks! Our walk (all self-funded) is booked for Saturday 10th June 2023 and we’ve decided to raise money for Maggie’s Centre in Nottingham. Cancer affects the lives of so many people and as individuals we have our own personal reasons for wanting to raise money for this cause.

Maggie's provides free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends. If we reach our fundraising target of £2,400 it will cover the cost of running Maggie’s for a day!

Any donations would be kindly appreciated.
