Manager’s Welcome

Our group exercise programme is well known in Portsmouth for hosting the best instructors in the area and delivering 1st class workouts to our members. We run the majority of the Les Mills programme having added Sh’bam in January and after adding BodyJam back in to the programme this month we are now also offering Monday Zumba as part of the membership! So any member looking to improve their fitness through dance based classes then Roko offer it all.

We also run some amazing mind & body classes with Tai Chi with Andrew and BodyBalance and yoga sessions with Karen, Jackie, Lucy and Kerry. I would urge every member to trial these classes if you are looking to improve flexibility or enhance your mental state. 

Please also be aware that this month we will be redecorating studio 1; we will keep disruption to a minimum whilst we improve this area.

Have a great month

Alun Davies and your Roko Portsmouth Team

You said, we did

Last month we had several comment cards on the smells to the back stairs and toilets to the male changing room.  Unfortunately we have had two issues - we have had a cracked down pipe and crystallisation of the urinal pipework, both of which have required opening the back space to investigate and the use of strong acids to clear and unblock. The majority of the works have been completed but we will be replacing all the pipework for new on the 10th of March.

We have recently seen a great increase on the amount of members playing squash and we have decided to upgrade the courts in March and April. We plan to sand the floors, re-plaster the back wall and paint. We believe the works will take around 4 days.  Please see club notice board or ask at reception for confirmed dates.

TESTIMONIAL  

PERSONAL TRAINER:  ANTONY PINK

CLIENT:  RACHEL LOWE MBE  

When I first starting having Personal Training with Antony I was not in a very good place mentally.  I had allowed other things in my life (relationships and business in particular) to get in the way of my personal wellbeing.  I struggled a lot over the years with mental health having had a breakdown in 2009, which took several years to recover from.   Over the past couple of years Antony has helped me to simply transform my life.  I remember struggling to run even a mile on the treadmill without becoming out of breath.  But gradually my fitness built up and I started feeling the benefits.  I quit smoking and started to take my training seriously.  As a Personal Trainer, Antony will push me further and harder than I will ever push myself.  He makes me keep going when I would be ready to give up myself.  I have built an enormous amount of trust allowing him to find my limits, even to the point of tears, but I’ve learned that is how you break through into your next level.  It has to hurt or there is no benefit.  In 2015 I completed my first Great South Run in 1 hour and 55mins.  The following year, with Antony’s help I smashed my time (by 23 minutes) to 1 hour and 32mins.   In October I hope to achieve sub 1-hour 30mins!  This year I’m proud to say that I completed the Virgin Money London Marathon and raised just under £3,000 for Heads Together for Mind – The Mental Health Charity. I have also completed the Portsmouth Half Marathon, 2 Duathlons, Race for Life, Rough Runner, Gosport 5k Series, Fareham

Creek 10k and the Gravel Hill 5 miler.  I have also just completed my first ever Triathlon with a sub 2-hour finish!  Back in May, I couldn’t swim even one length of the pool.  Antony taught me to swim and to get my breathing right. For me to be able to overcome my fear and panic of open water is a huge achievement and I feel very proud to have accomplished it. I have several other events coming up this year including the Gosport Half Marathon and the Portsmouth Marathon.  I love having a goal to work towards and I feel happier now not just physically but mentally which for me is the most important thing.  And an even bigger bonus for me… I finally feel confident in a bikini!  I lost a dress size and now have a recent holiday snap as my FB profile pic which I never thought I would do.  I feel like a different person.  

I highly recommend Antony Pink.  He is my Personal Trainer and now friend.  Pink Fit is a brand that gives a very personal approach.  Antony cares and is committed to you as the client.  He is not afraid to tell you when you are slacking.  He will push you and you will achieve things you didn’t think you would ever do.  Antony is also very supportive when you achieve your goals.  You get the acknowledgement and pat on the back that a lot of us do need.    

I wish Antony every success with Pink Fit, it is truly deserved and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to turn their life around.
