The Team
Adrian
Adrian, General Manager, is the vital link to most things in the Health Club and has been for years. Adrian manages most of the vast amount of equipment needed to keep the Club running and he is also our IT systems Manager. So there is nothing (and we mean 'nothing') that happens here that Adrian is not involved with.
Adrian is also a fitness instructor and our lead Aqua aerobics instructor. When he is not doing all of this, he can be found doing gym inductions and negotiating with Harriet and her wild ideas about seasonal decorations.
Adrian is a keen traveler and if he is not on duty he seems to have just 'popped ' on a flight somewhere for a quick visit.

Rosemary is our PIlates Instructor. She's always been passionate about physical activity be it netball, athletics or yoga – indeed anything that made her move.
She came upon Pilates about ten years ago and what attracted her to it was its inclusivity. 'It didn’t matter what age you were or what physical condition that you were in, it presented you with the opportunity to take control and condition yourself for the rest of your life.'
She believe passionately in the main benefits of Pilates e.g. Core Strength, Flexibility, Improved Posture and Discipline. Nothing gives her more satisfaction than witnessing a complete beginner, who has taken up Pilates, surprise themselves and experience immense pride from the results that they have achieved.
She possess the VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Instructing Mat Based Pilates which is Ofqual regulated.
As part of her continuing personal development she is currently studying Specialised Orthopaedic – this will enable her to assist people troubled by arthritis and other debilitating conditions.
Carol
Carol leads our yoga classes, she welcomes experienced and complete beginners. Carol's aim is to 'revive' 'restore and 'rejuvenate' - sounds like a great plan to use.
