Lucy Ellwood I joined BMF as I wanted to to try outdoor fitness classes for the summer. Although I run quite often I am a beginner +++ in terms of strength / weight training. I am absolutely loving the classes, it’s a really friendly group of people and everyone is so focussed on their own workout that no one notices how uncoordinated I am. There’s a real variety of classes to choose from too. The setting is lovely and it’s great to get outdoors, especially in the morning. Francis is really friendly and patient too. I recommend this massively for anyone who intimidated by the gym and wants to get fitter / stronger with a friendly group of people. If you are doubting whether to give it a go, I would recommend doing a month trial. You won’t look back!
