    Spikes & Heels Class Success!

    Thursday, May 16, 2013

    Wednesday night saw the inaugural Spikes & Heels class hit Gymbox in Farringdon and what a class it was! The incredibly badass Pavlina Golds headed up the session with an intense workout that burned from the get go. This was a taster class to see how people would respond to it. If they liked it, [...]

Fave Summer Sportswear

As it starts to heat up, we finally get to bust out our summer sportswear collections. It’s no secret, I’m all about not compromising my sense of style just ’cause I work out. I love a bold print, I love colour and I love pieces that are good for ‘crossover’ into regular every day wear. [...]

Street Athletes: Thru The Blue

I met Melissa back in 2011 when she was one of the participants in my first ever Team Bangs on the Run, taking on the Paris Half Marathon. At the time, she was just taking her first tentative steps back into fitness. But even then, she had a dogged determination and you could tell, this [...]
