Give Some Heart – February Fundraiser

Throughout the week of Monday 10th to Sunday 16th February, we will be inviting all members to come along to classes wearing their Pyjama’s or Onesies to help raise money for the British Heart Foundation and C-R-Y (Cardiac Risk in the Young) as part of this year’s fundraiser week.

PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY! We would ask that you do not wear thick onesies that will make you too hot, or any onesies with feet, as you could slip on the equipment. No buttons or zips or anything that could get caught.

All funds will be split evenly between the two charities.

Taking part is optional, and we only ask for a minimum donation of £2.00 per member to be handed to the coach at the beginning of the class or visit https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SomeoneSpecial/Valentines2020.

These two charities are very much close to our heart as they represent Charlie Clifton and Marie Manhire-Clark who were a big part of Springfit and sadly both were taken by heart attacks in recent years.

Photos may be taken for a short article about the event for our website, Facebook page and/or press release, so please feel free to join the valentine’s fun and help out the good causes.

We look forward to seeing you along!

With thanks, The Springfit team

As you know, she has really, really enjoyed her many years with Springfit and, as a child who is not keen on ball sports, it has given her a way of getting some fantastic exercise while having fun. She has developed a fantastic, healthy muscle mass and she has done better than I think she ever imagined and she has had a terrific time. We were utterly gobsmacked the first time we saw Abi take part in a competition. I think she was only about eight and only on badge seven, but she was been able to overcome any nerves and do her best on competition day. She has repeated that time and again and I am sure the confidence she has taken from this has helped her excel at drama (something she is now doing with huge enthusiasm at the Archway Theatre, with the West End as her target!). Down the years I have recommended Springfit to many people and I will continue to do so. The coaches have, without exception, been marvellous and it has been a particular pleasure to see Sharley go from being a shy, young teenager acting as an assistant coach at Funfit to a confident and excellent senior coach

I was only talking about the classes to another parent this morning. We were saying how professional the classes were – very fun and well run. All of the staff are friendly and enthusiastic and Erin loves going to her class

Lily loves gymnastics and is very dedicated. I think all that the club has done for her is fantastic and we have become a true advocate for Springfit.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the teachers at Copthorne Parish Hub on a Thursday.
Jelissa has grown in such a short time and is crazy for practising what she has learnt in class. It’s lovely to see her grow in confidence!

Thank you again!

My daughter has been attending Springfit classes for over two years and started when she was just 2 years old. She was such an active toddler, I thought if she was going to roll around and jump I’d like her to learn how to do so correctly! The staff at the club are very good with the young ones and help each child to achieve their own best. She absolutely loved the Funfit classes with half the class trampolining and the other half working on gymnastic skills and I think this made a noticeable difference to her physical development. Her balance, strength and co-ordination was much improved and her independence and listening got better too. After working steadily through the Grades she chose to carry on with Gymnastics classes and was recently proud to be chosen for a progress medal. She really enjoys attending each week and has come a long way in the time since she’s been attending.

Maisie loves her class and her coaches. She feels very comfortable with them. They are very encouraging and Maisie learns every week. They push her without pushing too much, keeping it fun as a 4-year-old likes. Keep up the good work and we will keep making the one-hour round trip.”

Five stars for Springfit!

We are still quite new to SpringFit, but it is something Zia looks forward to every week! It’s given her such confidence in her physical abilities, in such a short period of time, and the coaches are so kind and friendly. Never expected to as pleased with a class as I am – you all exceed my expectations, every week! Thank you for all that you do!

The girls are all absolutely brilliant with the children and Lucy absolutely LOVES Funfit! Springfit is an excellent organisation. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Francesca is lovely and friendly and great with the children. She is very good at showing them what they need to do and helping them individually when needed. Thomas always responds well to Francesca and will do as she shows him.

Zachary had a great first session at FunFit and we were super impressed with the whole layout & how fun it was also how accommodating the instructors were.

I love my class and enjoy progressing each week. I find the coaching staff motivating and kind in their approach. Everything I’ve come across with Springfit has been professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

The coaches at the class my son attends are absolutely wonderful. My son loves it. The gymnastics class is really helping his coordination and general ability to listen to and interpret instructions. Both the coaches and I can see definite and significant improvement to his achievement, and as a result to his overall self-esteem. I can’t express fully how exhilarated Patrick was to receive hands-on help to manoeuvre his body into the right position for a few times until he gets the hang of it. It was such a confidence boost for him. The coaches are so upbeat and relaxed, Patrick always enjoys attending classes. I know Patrick will continue to benefit from his class and perhaps most importantly that he will continue to have a great deal of fun there.

I have been to numerous gymnastics classes both as a child and as an adult, and also used to teach sports acro myself many years ago. Helen and her teams coaching and ideas for progression to teach certain moves is the best I have ever experienced, I have learnt more in the few months with Helen than I have done in years at other clubs. Thanks you to everyone for making exercise fun and for supporting my mid life crisis and my ambition to be a back flipping 40 year old 😉
