At the end of the 12 weeks the biggest loser wins £300, 2nd = £200, 3rd = £100. (Based on 30 participants) You are free to follow whichever diet plan you choose.
The club is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to improving the health of the community, all monies collected are used for prize money and to cover the costs of running the course. Each participant is assigned a Personal Wellness Coach who is available at all times for guidance and advice.

Come and join like minded people and let us all lose weight and feel great together.

THESE HELP THE CHILDREN NOT ONLY LEARN ABOUT COORDINATION, BUT THE CONTENT IN THE SONGS HELPS THEM TO LEARN IN A FUN AND STRESS FREE WAY. 2-5’S ARE ALSO OFTEN INVITED TO ACT OUT CHARACTERS IN WELL-KNOWN NURSERY RHYMES, WHICH THEY REALLY LOVE.
