Workout on inclined, uneven and varied terrain to switch on those muscles you never thought you had! Escape the monotony of four walls and expand your fitness horizon. Our outdoor Bootcamp is welcoming and open to all abilities, creating an atmosphere of social inclusion, teamwork, friendship and camaraderie. You'll conduct a variety of drills, games and challenges with solo, partnered and grouped workouts using bodyweight and/or weights/equipment. |
High Lodge Yoga |
Every Friday and alternate Saturdays, 9am to 10am, £8 drop in, 5 classes for £30 or 10 for £50 Come along to Serenity Yoga in the forest to release, relax and restore. This is a space for everyone to enjoy yoga, free from judgement and suitable for any level. Be prepared to experience the dappled sunlight through the trees upon your skin, the sound of bird song all around and the as a breeze in your hair. Leave class feeling both cocooned in relaxation, warmth and meditation and yet exhilarated by the great outdoors. Due to COVID-19 these sessions have been adapted to become ‘walking yoga’ where the activity is a pleasant walk combined with stops to execute yoga movements.

| High Lodge Circuit Training | Every Wednesday, 09.45am to 10.30am, £5 per person Our outdoor circuits are open to all abilities. Enjoy an all body, interval based, circuit training session as you move through a variety of workout stations with options to adapt exercises to suit your ability level. In order to maintain COVID-19 safe protocols, participants will conduct different exercises at their own permanently positioned, socially distanced, station, opposed to moving around shared stations. If it's raining, we're training! We operate in all weathers*. Please ensure you bring adequate hydration, especially in hot temperatures, and dress for the weather. We recommend comfortable trainers (trail ideal), and please remember that it's better to have too many layers which can be removed if hot, than to have no extra layers to put on when cold. *At the instructors discretion, the outdoor circuits will not operate in conditions perceived to be extreme or unsafe (ie, lightning, high winds etc). |
