Local News: Charity fitness event for local charities

BML Fitness, a fitness studio on Robert Mews off the High Street, will host a 24-hour “Fit-a-Thon” event to raise money for charity next month. It will run about 34 exercise classes, including indoor cycling, bootcamps, weights and stretching classes. Last year’s event attracted around 200 participants and raised more than £5,000 for Breast Cancer Now, through Kate’s Cancer Warriors. This year it will start at 7:00pm on 21 March and run until the same time on 22 March.

Emma Eustace, the owner of BML, says that all proceeds from this year’s event will be divided between two local charities, Wendover Shed and Aylesbury Women’s Aid.

Dave Walls, a Spinning instructor at BML and a trustee of Wendover Shed, highlighted the strength of the community formed by both organisations. “While BML focuses on physical fitness and Wendover Shed on practical applications, they also share a common goal of promoting movement and activity, which is crucial for the physical and mental well-being of their members.”

Aylesbury Women’s Aid provides a safe haven for women in need, especially when they are at their most vulnerable. It offers a sanctuary for women and their children, along with the support needed to rebuild their lives free from abuse and violence.

Emma and Dave are seeking support from local businesses, particularly through donations of raffle prizes.

BML Fitness provides a variety of fitness activities. If you’re able to help, would like to get involved or be a part of the classes, check out the BML Fitness & Personal Training page on Facebook, or contact emma@bmlpersonaltraining.com.
