Did you know…

Music is beneficial to your workout? Music lowers your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), when your RPE is low, you exert more energy enabling you to burn more calories without realising it. Bonus! Which in turn, creates a better and more beneficial workout.

With this being said, we invite you to slay the day with our relaxed and rhythmic yoga beats. Over 100 minutes of our favourite chill sounds including Years & Years, ODESZA, and Petit Biscuit. Our TruTunes are sure to warm you up, enhance your mood and inspire you.

Yoga helps increase your strength and stamina. The breathing and mindfulness involved will help improve your performance, focus and confidence. Yoga is a great addition to upping your fitness regime. It is the ideal workout to incorporate and complement your lifestyle and goals.

“Yoga means addition – addition of energy, strength and beauty to body, mind and soul.” Amit Ray

Spring into Action

March 23, 2018April 25, 2018 Alex CoombesLeave a comment

It’s time for that age-old debate; is the process of altering the clocks still relevant to our current lifestyle?

It goes without saying, sleep is valuable. Sacrificing even a few minutes is a big ask, let alone an hour… although I suppose when you think about it, it is 100% worth it.

We want to help you take advantage of the summer months with this mini-guide to a handful of London’s finest workout spots. Don’t worry, our trainers are ready to join you anywhere, anytime.

Did you know?

The average person spends 92% of their time inside!

Not only does a workout in the park benefit your fitness, it can increase your well-being and is a great way to unwind after a long day. If you already have a hectic schedule, why not train during your lunch hour? It is proven that a workout will increase concentration levels, motivate your mind and help order your thoughts.

Greenwich Park

Greenwich park is the perfect location to stretch your legs, with over 74 acres of land to play with, a great chance to get creative and explore all the charming routes have to offer.

It is no surprise the park is a hotspot for runners, with a range of flat and hilly surfaces to keep you on your toes, with the added reward of breathtaking City views ready to inspire and remind you of the greatness within.

If running isn’t your cup of tea, don’t sweat, Greenwich park has a lot to offer, from great spaces to workout to idyllically located benches to enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Interesting Fact:

Did we mention the Prime Meridian is located here? It’s where East meets West at Longitude 0 degrees, a reference line for astronomical observations. Hypothetically, this park is both the beginning and end of the world!

Greenwich has long open hours, 6 AM – 9:30 PM in the summer months, so no need to rush to get there after work.

Hyde Park

Hyde Park is the largest Royal Park in London and a workout haven.
Full of trails and gardens, this park is perfect for you to create your own running and training paths in the picturesque fields and woodlands.

Hyde is famous for being divided by the Serpentine, a 40 acre recreational lake. The Serpentine is an impeccable spot for 2 mile running loops and a peaceful way to unwind alongside your personal trainer in the evenings.

Interesting Fact:

Feel like taking a dip after your run? A rectangular swimming area is located in the southern area of the park, open in the summer months!

Regent’s Park

Have your trainer meet you in the ‘gardener’s paradise’ known as Regent Park.
This park is one large inner circle, a total of 410 acres in size and a one-of-a-kind place to run or train. If you’re up for a challenge, there are plenty of steep inclines and long running routes.

In the mood to try something new?
Nearly 100 acres of the park are set aside for a variety of sports such as football, cricket, and frisbee!

Interesting Fact:

Regent’s Park is the home to a wide variety of roses and thousands upon thousands of rose bushes.

Fall in Love with You this February

February 13, 2018February 12, 2021 Alex CoombesLeave a comment

A positive state of mind is crucial for good health, happiness and success. Your body craves goodness, the better you feel the better you look, and vice –versa. It is important to love and appreciate yourself, only then will it all become clear.

Happiness Hormone

You may have heard of ‘Runners high‘?
Don’t worry, you don’t have to be the next Mo Farah to achieve this kind of rush. This particular high is a result of the happiness hormone (more commonly known as Endorphins) being released into your body, creating the desirable state of euphoria and best of all it is 100% natural.

Exercise releases endorphins, this generates a numerous amount of benefits, all with the added bonus of getting fit!

Helps fight Anxiety, Depression and Reduce Stress

Whether you are working long hours, stuck in an office, studying for exams or holding up the fort, the importance of ‘me time’ should never be underestimated. Exercise can dramatically reduce anxiety, depression and stress. It can act as a long-term solution, benefiting your mind and body. Endorphins can act as natural painkiller, help you organise your thoughts and boost your mood significantly.

Focus

By increasing your ability to focus, your fitness goals, work goals and personal goals are all going to benefit, but this is not where it ends. Endorphins increase your ability to process emotion. By listening to your thoughts with a clear mind you are more likely to understand what your body requires. Taking the time to focus on your thoughts and reflect on your day will help you overcome any obstacles put in your way.

Lower Blood Pressure

Your health should be your number one priority. A healthy diet and daily exercise is a great place to start! If you are concerned about the activity being too strenuous, then it is important to talk to your TruBe trainer, they will create a program to ease you in gently, this will help build stamina and create positive and lasting results.

Motivation

A positive outlook generates positive results. The more you exercise the more motivated you will become and with your TruBe trainer there to cheer you on, you are bound to succeed!
Your motivation will carry across into all aspects of life; you will feel less tired and become more efficient with your time.

Stay true to you

Exercise is a powerful tool. No two people are the same; finding out what works for you will enable you to enjoy the journey and make it personal.
Exercise will uncover many lasting relationships, strengthen your mind and will make you the best version of yourself, someone to be truly proud of.

Fitness Away From Home

fitness, health, holiday, abroad, workout, personal, training, yoga, pilates, boxing, retreat

Here’s something different that you might not have heard of… “Fitness Holidays”.

Most people would separate the two concepts “holiday” and “fitness” but we like the idea of combining them, because what’s better than working out whilst working on your tan on a tropical island halfway across the world? Does the idea of escaping from the everyday working life in rainy London to the luscious Ibiza or Bali sound up your street? Well, if you’re #fit, #fun and #fantastic then this is a holiday made for you.

Spain – Fitness Training

Take a week off work and fly down to sunny southern Spain for an energising fitness programme based in a small boutique hotel. The 6 nights include healthy nutritional diets, personal training sessions, fitness classes such as pilates and yoga as well as spa treatments and other luxury options!

Return home fitter, healthier and worked out.

Bali – Fitness Boot Camp

Always fancied heading out to Southeast Asia? Here you can head off to Bali, home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, soak up the Asian sun and indulge in a fitness boot camp for just £449pp. Getting fit and healthy abroad is the perfect remedy for forgetting about your working life and busy schedule back home just for a week or two.

Eat. Sleep. Workout. Repeat.

Kenya – Go Wild In Kenya

Jet off to Kenya in Africa for a once-in-a-lifetime fitness trip. This 9-day programme strips you back to the fundamentals of health and fitness with outdoor training sessions and guidance on nutrition.

Get. Fit. On. Holiday.

Ibiza – [Re]treat Yourself to Yoga

Enjoy sweet-soul music whilst drinking icy cocktails in a yoga beach house. Your day will start with a morning yoga practice focusing on intense rib locks, foot positioning and spiralling your limbs and hips. Throughout the day you will have the option of meditation and silent walks as well as practising poses on the beach with a partner.
