Dear Members,

It is with deep sadness that we share some news we never imagined writing. After 25 years of serving our community, supporting your health journeys, and building a family within these walls, we must inform you that our gym will be closing at 8.30pm Friday 13th March.

Our lease was due for renewal, and as part of that process we appointed a local solicitor to act on our behalf. Unfortunately, they failed to carry out the actions required to secure the renewal. As a result, the landlord has chosen not to renew our lease and has asked us to vacate the premises.

This decision has been taken entirely out of our hands, and we are understandably devastated.

Despite this incredibly difficult situation, we want to make sure you are looked after.

Annual Membership Refunds
If you have paid for an annual membership upfront, we will be arranging a refund for you. Please send your refund request to blackpool@heliofitness.com and we will get this processed as quickly as possible.

Exclusive JD Gyms Membership Deal
We have been working closely with JD Gyms (Blackpool & Cleveleys) to arrange an exclusive deal for Helio members. You will receive your first month completely free, followed by a second month at half price. The membership is no contract, so you have the flexibility to cancel at any time with no commitment. We hope this gives you a comfortable landing while you find your new gym home.

Your Konkr Points
Any Konkr points you have built up are still yours to use. You can spend these in the Konkr shop, which remains attached to the platform.

Looking Ahead
We are actively looking for a new, suitable location and we genuinely hope to be back in business when the right opportunity arises. Our commitment to this community has not changed, and we want nothing more than to reopen our doors to you in the future.

Running this gym for the past 25 years has been a privilege. We have loved getting to know each and every one of you, cheering on your progress, and supporting you through every step of your fitness journey. The thought of closing our doors is incredibly painful, and we are truly saddened that this day has come.

Thank you for your loyalty, your energy, your encouragement, and for being the heart of our gym for so many years. We will be here throughout the week to answer questions and offer any help we can.

Regards

Neil & The Helio Fitness Team

For Cardio Club this month I’ve created 3 different challenging sessions leading up to one big final session!

1 - Endure

2 - Sprint

3 - Explode

4 - The Final

I would really like to get more people involved this month even if it’s just for one month to complete these challenges! You’ll work hard, be pushed mentally and physically, and build on your fitness🙌🏼

If you’re looking for a challenge and want to get involved, give me a message 💪🏼

One thing I’ll never get bored of, is the look of my clients faces when they’re getting put through it 😂

Functional Friday’s 🔥

With Friday being the last day of the week, we love doing something different every week and creating new sessions that hit you hard, but you feel great after it 🙌🏼

With every session being different, you burn more calories, keep your body shocked which is making it work even harder, whilst learning more exercises!

As coaches, we absolutely love bringing something different to the table every week and helping our bootcampers progress! Our role is to make sure you’re constantly being pushed and making the right changes, which creates results 💪🏼

What is my role as your coach?

The simple answer is to get you results. But the real answer goes much deeper than a number on a scale

My role is to provide a safe, structured path to your goals while educating you along the way. I’m not just here to lead you through a workout; I’m here to give you the tools you need so that, eventually, you’ll have the knowledge to continue the journey on your own

I’m not here to sell you a dream. I’m not interested in a "quick turnaround" just so I have something to post on social media, and I’m certainly not here to tell you only what you want to hear

Throughout my years of coaching, I’ve seen the same pattern: people chase the shortcut, set unrealistic expectations, and ignore the warnings. The result? They don’t get fit, they get burnt out

I don't allow shortcuts because shortcuts don't last. Real progress requires the "long road." It requires discipline, consistency, and a rejection of magic hacks or restrictive calorie counts.

If you look at my clients' success over the past year, they didn't reach their goals overnight.

They made mistakes, they navigated setbacks, and they learned the true value of patience.

In the end, it’s not about how fast you can transform; it’s about building a lifestyle and a set of habits that allow you to keep your results forever.

The Choice is Yours:

• If you’re looking for a quick fix, I’m not the coach for you.

• If you’re ready to transform your body, your mindset, and your lifestyle the right way—I am
