The Happy Vibe Fitness & Wellbeing

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.

I took the plunge and joined Trish at the Happy Vibe a year ago. I had spent time looking into it and asking Trish lots of questions which she patiently answered every time but was never brave enough to take the plunge. In November 2021, I signed up to a months use of a boogie bounce trampoline and haven't looked back. Everyone in the Facebook page were really welcoming and friendly. What I loved about the month is that by using the catch-up videos I had access to an exercise class at a time convenient to me. During this time, I didn't just stick to Boogie Bounce, I rekindled my love of Step and began Pilates for the first time. The catch-up videos mean that you can exercise when you want to and where you want to. I enrolled for a full year at the end of the month period.One year on and I have stuck with it. I have continued to use the catch-up videos and the flexibility of choosing longer and shorter classes really leaves you with no excuse not to. At the end of last year, I approached Trish because I was struggling to lose the weight in my middle region- mainly in part to being perimenopausal. When Trish told me about her Misfit group, I jumped at the chance of being part of it. Through the group I have begun to understand the changes that are happening to my body and how best I can support myself during this time. The other ladies in the group are really friendly and supportive. The weekly catch up's with Trish are a further opportunity to hear how everyone else is coping or to ask questions. By posting short videos, Trish really supports you and helps. From the last MISFIT 6 week course I have taken away a few wins that have really made a difference. The advice of what to eat to stay full really helped. Trish was also great at directing me to which exercises suited by problem areas. The best bit for me was the 20 minute routines. Sometimes it is hard to fit in anything longer but with 20 minutes, I found I could do them as soon as I got in and whilst the tea was cooking.For anyone who isn't sure this six week course is the best way to find out if it suits you. It was the best decision I ever made!

I’m a member and love the online lives and catchup sessions. Trish and the team of instructors make exercise fun and always make you feel welcome. I like the variety of classes and the membership facebook group. Trish is always looking for new ways to motivate and challenge to keep you happy and fit inside and out!

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 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

Pilates with Trish.......everyone needs a bit of this in their life! The friendly classes make you feel welcome the minute you walk through the door and you will leave feeling relaxed and stress free. I love going to the Monday morning class just what I need to start off my week. Trish is a lovely relaxed teacher who let's you work at your own level and is happy to help you work at a more challenging one if you wish. Always something new to learn and I am all ready feeling the benefits of these classes from doing just 12 weeks. I would recommend these classes to anyone come along, you will leave with happy vibes :-)

Trish, Marie, Hannah, Emma, Becky and all the gang at The Happy Vibe are so welcoming and passionate about fitness. I started classes in April 2022....just one a week starting with pilates. I enjoyed it so much I've now got up to 5 classes a week. There is lots of variety and loads to learn. Several pounds down and finally getting to be as fit as I want to be. Lots of new participants worry about coming along for the first time.... I won't know anyone"

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 Absolutely love going to The Happy Vibe Fitness, especially Pilates with Trish. I wasn't in a great place before I started and now I have met some great ladies and my metal wellbeing is much more positive. Thank you Trish & ladies for making me feel normal again. Xx
