Hot take: Your daily walk isn’t doing as much for your bones as you think. 🚶‍♀️💨

Don't get us wrong, we love a brisk stroll. It’s great for the heart and the head. But when it comes to your skeleton? It needs a bit more 'oomph.'

To keep bones dense and strong as we age, we need to LOAD them. That means resistance. Weights. Movement that makes your muscles pull on your bones. 🏋️‍♂️

A walk is a maintenance lap. Strength training is the upgrade.

At Amovida, we specialize in that 'intelligent loading.' We make sure you’re lifting safely, effectively, and: dare we say it: enjoyably.

Time to give your skeleton a bit more to think about? 👇

We’ve had some really special news this week.

Amovida has been nominated for Best Gym at the British Fitness Awards.

Ally has also been nominated for Female PT and Fitness Presenter of the year and Grant for Male PT of the year.

We’re genuinely quite taken aback by it and incredibly grateful for the nominations that put us on the long list.

Because behind this is every early morning, every 16-hour day, every late night of planning and prepping. Every research paper read, every programme written, every class taught and every conversation had in the studio.

And, of course, every single one of you who shows up and trusts us with your movement.

🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖🌟💖

What happens next

This is the longlist stage, and the next step is public voting, which opens on Friday 27th March.

If you’d like to support us, we’ll share the link when it goes live.

For now, just a big thank you. In a rough week where Grant has been diagnosed with Glandular Fever / Epstein-Barr Virus and is having to literally sleep between sessions while Ally carries extra load, this feels extra special.

We’re really proud of what’s been built here, and even prouder of the people in it.

Have you heard of Peak Wellness? Maybe bio hacking? Did you know big wellness makes more money annually than big pharmaceutical, yet is less regulated ( read, not regulated at all ).

Did you know the majority of it is based on no or poor, cherry picked, biased evidence?

It’s aimed at the wealthy as the cost is beyond the realms of the average person.

But forgets that the basics, sleep, vegetables, movement, social connection and daylight do more for your health and healthspan than any fancy injectable or supplement. This blog is a drop in the ocean of critiquing the industry of peak wellness, but you can break almost all of them down to the same thing… create fear, sell a solution, screw what the evidence says.

Let me paint you a picture: It’s 5:47 AM. A wellness influencer with 400K followers is mid-sunrise meditation on a Balinese clifftop, wearing £180 athleisure, clutching a £45 apoptogenic latte, about to post a carousel about “raising your frequency.” The caption will mention their IV vitamin...

Have you visited the Horsley Repair Cafe yet? 🛠️☕ It’s one of our favourite local initiatives. Held on the first Saturday of every month at the Canterbury Rooms, it’s a place where grumpy toasters or torn jeans get a second life, all while enjoying a proper cup of tea and a bit of cake.

At Amovida, we love the philosophy behind it. In a world that often tells us to 'discard and replace,' the Repair Cafe reminds us that with expert guidance and the right tools, things can be restored.

We feel the same way about our bodies.

When a 'ni**le' pops up or your back feels stiff after a week at the desk, the answer isn't to stop your favourite activities or wait to be 'fixed.' It’s about maintenance, smart movement, and staying resilient. Just like a well-oiled machine, our bodies thrive when we give them the attention they deserve in a supportive community setting.

Next time you’re in East Horsley on a Repair Cafe Saturday, pop in and say hello to the volunteers. And if your movement needs a little 'tune-up,' you know where to find us. 🕊️
