Joseph from Alive's sales team, cycling for charity Rockinghorse
On Thursday 7th June & Friday 8th June, Joseph from our sales team took part in a 24 hour endurance cycle to help raise vital funds for Rockinghorse.
The money raised will go towards an incubator for premature babies being treated in the Trevor Mann Baby unit in Brighton.
The team travelled a distance of 1,415 miles in the 24 hours and so far have raised £1,100 the target the team hope to raise is £1500.
You can still donate money to this fantastic cause by texting ROCK18 to 70070 or by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/Ryan-Cool

On Bank Holiday Monday 4th June, the Alive Team joined in with the fun and activities of the Hove Lions Carnival at Hove Park. Thousands of local people attended the event, and luckily the heavens didn’t open up to drench us all! We had a great time meeting local people and telling them all about Alive; many people were drawn to our stall by some fun posters designed by Joseph from our sales team, which put Alive’s own spin on spreading the news about our classes!
Truly “keeping it in the family”, we had Kate, the sister of our lovely receptionist Bryony, come down to do some wonderful face-painting for the children, and several mums and dads were surprised to hear we have a crèche!
Throughout the day, there were a host of attractions in the main arena, including a fitness demonstration from one of our competitors, dog shows and a bird of prey display! To end the day, our very own Barry Randall took to the stage and got the crowd engaged in a fun and uplifting Zumba demonstration.
As always with Alive, fun was had by all … we can’t wait for next year!
Well we are exhausted but elated after an amazingly successful first ‘Charity Classathon’ at Alive Fitness and Natural Health last Sunday 5th February. The turnout was absolutely fantastic, far exceeding our tentative hopes (particularly after seeing the weather forecast the night before)
Twenty people braved the snow and arrived at 9am fully clad in legwarmers and sweatbands for Zumba! Barry ‘Snake Hips’ Randall taught a simply brilliant class. We all laughed and sweated a lot. Jeff Scott then taught spinning with some brave souls getting straight onto their bikes from Zumba. Matt Dunn Allen yoga class came next with again twenty people packing out the studio. A much needed stretch was had by all!
Matt Dunn then taught a super high energy Boxercise, again to a packed out studio of nearly twenty people, amazing! Some then stayed on and were joined by more to make over twenty for Jenny Dunn’s kettlebell class. Lots of swinging, pressing, lunging and laughing ensued. Finally Jenny Dunn then taught Core Stability to a smaller crowd, stretching and relaxing into the end of the event.
We were then joined by Local Green Councillor Phelim McCafferty. He kindly came along to support us and make a donation.
Throughout the day a delicious range of cakes lovingly made by Jenny Dunn and members Anthony Boon, Diane Palmer and Laura Pavey were on sale. Raffle tickets have also been sold up until the draw on Sunday 12th February. Everyone has been incredibly generous with their donations, we are really overwhelmed. The total was just over £1000.
The final figure will be announced on Sunday 12th February. This total will be split equally between Compassion in World Farming and Rockinghorse Children’s Charity.
We did a charity raffle and the following people won…
- David Adams – 10 free classes
- Hannah Whiley – OMG spray tan with LauraLashes
- John Owen – Reiki / Reflexology with LauraLashes
- Mandy Jackson – Free PT with Jenny
- Tad Osbourne – Free PT with Matt
- Chris Bailey – Free PT with Toby
The club was absolutely buzzing on Sunday, such a brilliant atmosphere, everyone worked really hard but also had such a great time. There was such a great turnout and we have received wonderful feedback from members and those who came along to support. We will definitely be running another charity event sometime this year, watch this space…….
We were amazing at the response and are totally grateful to everyone who took part on the day… we had mucho fun and laughs which you can see on our youtube channel
Huge THANK YOU to Jenny Dunn for making this such a huge success and for everyone who took part
