Certified Body Control Pilates Teacher
There is currently availability in all classes and a 7.15pm is planned when there is enough interest on the waiting list.
Classes are still operating with 2m distance between clients so numbers are currently reduced to 10 per class - numbers are kept small so that personal attention and correction can be provided. All clients are actively encouraged to work at a level that not only suits their own ability but also to work within the capabilities of their own body and not feel pressured to keep up with other clients.
Body Control Pilates is remarkably effective, and medically approved. Central to the method is an 'awareness of your own body' and each and every exercise is built around the eight basic principles: Relaxation, Concentration, Alignment, Breathing, Centring, Concentration, Stamina & Flowing Movements.

Come along and find out what all the fuss is about: Wednesday mornings at 10.15-12.15, Severnside Hall. The club will provide all the equipment you need apart from shoes!

We arrange walks each weekend as well as midweek evenings in the summer. The area and length of the walk varies greatly and members also arrange occasional weekends away.
We have regular social events such as skittles evenings, quiz nights, barbecues and the like, and there is always a Christmas dinner.
However, we are more than just a walking club. The Ramblers is a registered charity and one of its aims is to campaign to keep the footpath network open.
Sessions held at a club or leisure centre convenient to you.

Totally free Thornbury running group for mums “This Mum Runs” has launched regular local runs designed to empower women to get happier and healthier, as well as having a laugh and meeting other local parents.
Those interested should join the “This Mum Runs Bristol” Facebook group and search for details of the Thornbury runs, as well as joining the locally-focused “Thornbury Mums Running Chat” Facebook group.
We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm and Sunday mornings at 8am on the little grassy hill opposite the Tesco petrol station, lead a warm up and cool down, and run at a very friendly chatty pace, with lots of “looping” so the whole group stays together and no-one gets left behind. It’s ideal for people who haven’t run for a while, or who have perhaps done the Couch to 5K programme but need the motivation to keep it going!
Fancy joining us for a fun, free, running-based exercise class? We meet every Friday during term-time 9am and are Covid-secure.
We run fartlek, efforts, interval, speed-work, hill sessions and many more. All levels and abilities welcome, buggy and toddler friendly, fun, friendly and inclusive group.

Thornbury parkrun is a FREE weekly 5km event for participants of all standards, which takes place every Saturday at 9am. It is not a race against other runners, but a 5k timed event and it can really be whatever you want it to be, whether that's for fun or as part of a training plan.
It offers an opportunity for all the local community, regardless of age or gender, to come together on a regular basis to enjoy this beautiful park and get physically active into the bargain. We want to encourage people to run, jog or walk together irrespective of their ability – this event is truly open to all and best of all it really is FREE!
