St Michaels Health Club

Our Member of the Month is Roz Watkins 🏆

A year ago, at 56, Roz felt herself getting weaker. Her knees ached, heavy bags were a struggle, and even getting her cats to the vet felt like a workout in itself. So, she started lifting.

Now, at 57, she’s lifting 87kg off the floor. Along the way, she’s found more strength, more confidence and a real sense of pride. For Roz, it’s never been about staying slim. It’s about staying strong for life.

Proof that it’s never too late to start. Congratulations, Roz! 👏

Roz’s story features in the latest issue of Prima magazine.

Maybe your routine slipped over the summer. Maybe you’ve never quite found one that fits. Either way, a month is a good place to begin again 💪
 
The 30 Day Experience starts with a conversation, not a workout. Over a 30 minute wellness consultation, one of our team gets to know what you’d like from the month and how it needs to fit around your week. Then they build a programme that’s yours.
 
For the next 30 days, classes are unlimited and the pool is yours to use. An early swim before work, a class that becomes the part of the week you look forward to, the walk home past Gylly afterwards.
 
At the end, we sit down together again to look at how far you’ve come, with a membership offer if you’d like to keep going.

Hello September 🥰

The return of busy routines, back-to-school schedules and packed calendars is upon us, and we're here to tell you that staying aligned with your health goals doesn't need to be complicated.

Wellness can look like a short walk between commitments, a nourishing meal prepared in advance, a few minutes to stretch, or simply making time to pause and recharge.

This September, don't put your wellbeing at the bottom of the to-do list. Small, sustainable habits can keep you moving forward- even during the busiest seasons.

What's one simple habit you're taking with you into September?

Meet Reece, one of our incredible members doing incredible things. Here's his story:

Mental health is something I’ve personally struggled with, and there have been times in my life when things have felt overwhelming and I haven’t known where to turn.

I’ve reached out to Samaritans myself. I know what it feels like to need someone to listen without judgement, and to have a conversation when you’re struggling to make sense of what’s going on in your own head. That experience is something I’ll never take for granted.

One of the things that really matters to me is changing the way we talk about mental health, particularly amongst men. Too many men struggle in silence. We’re often taught to get on with things, keep it to ourselves and not show that we’re struggling. But staying quiet doesn’t make those feelings disappear.

We need to talk to one another. We need to check in on our mates, ask how someone really is, and make it okay to say, “I’m not alright.”

That’s why I’ve decided to take on a marathon and raise money for Samaritans.

The marathon will undoubtedly be one of the hardest physical challenges I’ve ever taken on, but every mile will have a purpose beyond simply reaching the finish line. I’ll be running for the people who are struggling silently, for those who don’t know who to turn to, and for everyone who has ever needed someone to listen.

I’ve been in a position where I needed that person.

Now I want to help make sure that person is there for someone else.

If my fundraising can help Samaritans continue to be there for even one person on the other end of the phone when they desperately need someone to talk to, every mile will be worth it.

Please donate if you can, but more importantly, please talk. Check in on your mates. Ask the question. And if you’re struggling yourself, don’t suffer in silence.

Head over to Reece Tyack to donate if you can. Keep going, Reece!

In collaboration with the wonderful Floating Sound Sanctuary, we invite you to drift into the deepest state of restorative calm at our exclusive Floating Sound Bath.

Imagine this: Held by the gentle embrace of our heated waters, you are untethered from the world. As the soothing vibrations of crystal singing bowls ripple through the water and resonate through your very bones, gravity simply ceases to exist.

This isn’t just a session—it is a total cellular reset. It is a homecoming to your soul. Leave behind the noise of life and float into a sanctuary where time stands still and your nervous system finally, beautifully, unspools.

Limited space for this transcendent experience.
