FitFun Couch to 5k – Free Course For The Community

Have you ever thought about taking up jogging but would like a little extra help? Our FREE community FitFun Couch to 5k course could be ideal!

FitFun Couch to 5k is a community engagement initiative. Our experienced team of professional coaches are here to help locals improve their health. We do this in 10-week blocks, supporting participants through a well-designed programme of training. The plan begins with short interval jogging mixed with extended walking. Over the weeks, we lengthen your running time and reduce the walk phase. Eventually, building up your fitness to run 5 kilometres.

Who Is The Course For?

The Couch to 5k running structure is a popular method of getting less active people to exercise. It also enables former runners to get back into running safely, as well as non-runners to start from scratch. But even still, at FitFunActive, we know just how hard it can be to lace up your trainers and head out of the front door. Without further guidance and support, motivation can wane, which inevitably is where many give up on their exercise goals. Quite the opposite, our course has helped hundreds of people over the years to build up or regain their running capabilities in a safe, educational, and motivational manner. Therefore, we take great pride in our FitFun Couch to 5k course.

Why FitFun Couch to 5k Works?

We at FitFunActive are invested in providing accessible exercise opportunities within our community. Furthermore, we regard running to be a very accessible form of exercise. However, many of us find it challenging or avoid it out of fear, especially when we feel unfit. We have witnessed the transformation in confidence that our well-structured training has on people. Partly because we emphasise starting steadily. So, as a result, your body and mind adapt better. We believe this approach minimises the risk of injury by slowly introducing prolonged impact exercise. In addition, you build confidence early with small, easily attainable jogging targets. As the weeks progress, so too does the demand on the body. For example, in the first week, we commence with one-minute jogging intervals. In week two, you’ll be expected to jog for 2-minute intervals.

Our work has continuously inspired people to take their fitness to another level. Thus, our FitFun Couch to 5k course could be the foundation you need to build or rebuild your fitness. We have a proven track record of helping beginners become confident runners. With that in mind, why not join us and be a part of an ever-growing exercise community?

When Does The Course Start?

The course begins on Thursday, 11th January 2024, and runs over a 10-week block. Each Thursday, we meet at 7pm for our group run on Streatham Common. In addition to the Thursday evening runs, we will support your progress with a 10-week training programme. On this plan, you will be encouraged each week to do a couple of independent workouts in your own time.  Finally, the course will culminate with a local park run on Saturday 16th March 2024 at 9am.

How Do I Register?

FitFun Couch To 5k is a free community project, and we want to encourage everyone to get involved. However, we require you to be present for the first three classes to complete the course successfully. Plus, you must also carry out at least 80% of the course to cope safely with the demands of the exercise.

Small Group PT Will Soon Replace FitFunBootCamp

, , 0

From Saturday 3rd September 2022, FitFunBootCamp will make way for FitFun Small Group PT (SGPT). We are both saddened and excited at the same time making this announcement. We feel sad because we are drawing to an end, something we have given over a decade of our lives to. Through the years, we have created some fantastic lifelong memories with wonderful people that we will cherish forever. In addition, we have built a strong community that we respect and who have served us well. Embracing change is a challenging process for us all. But, change is a part of our lives, and as service providers, we must look at the broader picture and continue to work in a way that gives longevity to what we do.

We are excited because we believe this allows us to continue to serve our community differently. SGPT format gives us a platform to further personalise our fitness service and help meet additional health needs or goals. Another reason we are excited is the prospect of reaching new people and growing our community once more. Above all, we are excited to continue working with as many of you as possible and offer you a more bespoke service.

How will Small Group Personal Training Work In Streatham?

There will be three-morning slots for SGPT  in Streatham at 8, 9, and 10 am. The sessions will be an hour-long, and we limit numbers to 6 clients.

SGPT shares many of the same qualities that we find in more traditional personal training sessions – guided practice, professional advice, and bespoke workout plans designed to help you achieve your goals and excel. However, as the name implies, you won’t be working with your trainer on a 1-to-1 basis – you’ll be working alongside others with similar goals or targets. You will also work with the same personal trainer over time on bespoke workout plans established in advance.

It is important to note that SGPT differs from traditional group classes (such as Zumba, pilates or circuit training ), as it’s much more intimate.

One important distinction is that with SGPT, you won’t necessarily be doing precisely the same exercise as the others in your group. Your PT will have adjusted your program to fit better what you’re aiming for and what you ultimately want to achieve. Thus FitFunActive SGPT offers benefits beyond your average  fitness class, personalised based on individual needs. Each individual will have a phone consultation to outline training needs and specific fitness goals.

How much will it cost?

Small-Group PT is at a session rate of £25. A block of 10 sessions is £250. Time slots are on a first-come, first-served basis. You can book a place via the website, subject to availability. Alternatively, you can cement your place in blocks of 10. Advance notice of at least 24 hours is required ahead of any absence. So that particular day/slot can be filled.

What about my remaining credits?

FitFun credits can be used as usual up until Saturday 3rd September. Any remaining credits beyond this date can be added to your Small Group PT balance should you wish to take this opportunity. However, we can refund anyone who does not want to move forward beyond boot camp.

We are forever grateful for all of your support and patience throughout the changing seasons we have faced. With Covid and lockdowns, we met tough times, but we stuck together. Thank you all so much. It is our hope we can continue together through this change also.

Team FitFun.

The Spring/Summer national lockdown due to Covid-19 provided us with a timely opportunity to expand our exercise provision and reach a wider audience. As a result our team now offer online exercise, and there is a variety. In effect, class credits are sold in bundles of 5 and 10. In either case FitFun class credits can be used for any of our group sessions, whether in person or online.

How Does The Offer Work?

From the 27th November 2020 until 27th December 2020, when you buy FitFun credits, you receive the same number as a bonus.
