Hands on Health

Strong legs will take you everywhere. Up mountains, through decades, into a life that stays fully yours.

Yoga builds the kind of strength that lasts - not just for today's class, but for every long walk, every adventure, every year ahead. This is what we're really here for. 🧘‍♀️✨

We could tell you why we think we're good. But Sara and Lauren can do it better - between back surgery recoveries, full-time NHS jobs, and years of showing up, they've put us to the test more than most.

Vicki is our Member Support legend and Pilates teacher, and she came to us by making one of the best career decisions in human history — quitting university life to teach people how to engage their core. Truly inspirational stuff.

By day she will fix your booking, correct your form, and have a spreadsheet open that you didn't ask about and won't fully understand. There are tabs. So many tabs. Colour coded. She's fine.

She also runs our book club and walking group because apparently just working here wasn't enough involvement in your lives, she wants to know what you're reading AND how fast you're walking.

Outside of the studio you'll find her doing crafts, eating cake, or striding across the countryside, and if you're very lucky she'll combine all three. A bona fide smarty pants with her PhD by the way, which explains absolutely everything about the spreadsheets 🎓

We genuinely don't know how this place ran before her. It didn't, really. Things were dark. Then Vicki arrived with her colour-coded systems and her cake and suddenly everything made sense.

We love her. You will too.

This is what a month of movement looks like…

✨ Unlocking Body Awareness: Giving Clients the Confidence to Move Freely

✨ Unlocking Body Awareness: Giving Clients the Confidence to Move Freely

At our massage academy, we believe that understanding the body is the foundation of exceptional therapeutic practice.

We're thrilled to be launching our brand new Level 4 massage therapy training and we're looking for our very first cohort of students to be part of something exciting from the very beginning.

This programme goes far beyond technique, immersing students in anatomy, physiology, and the science of movement, so they develop a genuine confidence in how they work with the human body.

🙌 Training as a massage therapist at Level 4 means you're not just learning how to use your hands, you're learning how to listen, assess, and respond to each individual client with knowledge and intuition.

As founding students on this course, you'll be part of a close-knit group embarking on a journey together, with dedicated support every step of the way.

Our graduates will leave with the skill, awareness, and professional credibility to build a rewarding career in health and wellness.

If you're ready to turn a passion for helping people into a respected qualification, we'd love to hear from you.

➡️ Why most people over 40 quit the gym (and what actually works instead)

You don't lack discipline. You've spent careers looking after other people — patients, students, entire classrooms and wards running on your energy alone. Discipline isn't the problem.

The problem is that most fitness options are either built for 25 year olds, or so gentle they don't actually do anything. And somewhere between the bootcamp that wrecked your back and the yoga class that felt more like a nap, you quietly stopped prioritising it.

Here's what we see working for people in their 40s and 50s:
👉 Consistency over intensity. The goal isn't to destroy yourself on a Tuesday. It's to still be moving well at 60, 70, and beyond. Hard enough to make a difference. Smart enough not to set you back.

👉 Small groups, real coaching. There's a big difference between a coach watching 30 people and a coach watching 10. When someone actually sees what your body is doing - and knows your history - the results are different.

👉 A room that suits you. Confidence is contagious. When you're training alongside people who take it seriously but don't take themselves too seriously, showing up stops feeling like a chore.

👉 Movement that's built around your life. Not a programme designed for someone with two hours a day and no desk job. Something that addresses the tension, the posture, the strength you actually need.

This is what we do at Hands on Health. Pilates, yoga and strength in small groups - maximum 12 - for professionals and business owners who want to feel as capable as they are in every other part of their life.

First class is on us if you want to see what it feels like.
Morning and evening classes available.
