"I joined the Misfit Meno 6 week course in September last year. I’d been feeling quite old and frumpy for a while with peri menopause symptoms and lots of changes going on. Older daughter went off to Uni in Bath, younger daughter started college and work and I’d lost touch with some friends and colleagues after changing jobs, so I felt a bit lost and found I’d lost a lot of confidence. I knew I needed to do something to help me get myself back and out there. Since joining the Meno group, I’ve done 3 classes most weeks. I love the dance classes and Pilates and I’ve met some lovely ladies. There are so many classes face to face and online, that if you find one isn’t for you, then try another. There are 20 minutes classes that are great as a taster or if you haven’t got a lot of time .I feel so welcome at all classes and I love how Trish and the girls come and make sure we’re ok and introduce us to each other. It’s not clicky at all and lots of fun. I’ve been to other groups and gyms and felt so uncomfortable and not made to feel welcome, as everyone is already in little groups, that I’ve not gone back. This is why l love this group! Trish is so understanding and there’s no pressure at all, just lots of support and encouragement. The course structure was brill and it got me into a good routine quickly. The focus each week covered areas to help with making healthy choices and changes and building good habits through small steps which will stick, rather than a quick fix. I loved the videos and lives from Trish throughout the week, as it kept me on track and was good to interact with the other ladies and get to know everyone. Through the course, I started to feel a lot more like me again. I used to be very sociable but seemed to have lost this too, and I could feel this coming back the more I went to classes and joined in online and I feel so much more positive and more like me again. Thank you so much…it’s been a lifesaver"

"Trish is an amazing instructor. She makes every class fun. I love Pilates on Tuesday morning. You can do everything at your own level without feeling bad if you can’t quite reach the higher level. We have lots of laughs before,during & after the class. Seated dance on Tuesday afternoon is also fun. A light hearted class, great for any age or ability with a social aspect for any age group. Trish thank you for all that you do for us x"

"I started with the Happy Vibe Fitness in January. I've been to a few classes previously, but decided to sign up for the Kickstart programme! I love the variety of face to face and online classes, and I still do a combination of both now! I also find the catch up classes brilliant for when I can't make a class; I even do them on holiday! No more excuses now!! All of the classes cater for all abilities! There is truly nothing to be worried about; just go at your own pace! Everyone is super friendly and supportive, which together with the physical and mental health benefits, is what keeps me going!"

"I joined the group last year. I have never exercised regularly before this....I now do 3-4 classes a week. The choice of online catch up classes is amazing, there are classes to suit everyone- regardless of their fitness level. Ive tried classes i would have never tried before. I feel so much better both physically and mentally too- we all support and encourage each other. The live online classes are great too- such a supportive group, coordinated by Trish, who is always there if you need her too. Love this group."
