Kalpesh completes the 20K Prostate Cancer March for Men!
Kalpesh is a long-standing member of the gym who has previously ran several marathons and half marathons along with 10k and 5k runs on a regular basis.
What you may not know is that Kalpesh suffered a serious patella knee injury that literally stopped him in his tracks from running again. Kalpesh underwent surgery and rehabilitation to regain his fitness, but later suffered another injury blow when he discovering he needed surgery on a serious bone injury in is foot!
Most people would have quit there and then, but Kalpesh went through rehabilitation and, with help from our very own; Lisa, started to walk and even run small distances. Kalpesh completed this challenge in 3 hours 36 minutes.
Well done for your perseverance in overcoming these terrible injuries and helping raise funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer.

Common "Bad" Exercises Picked Up on the Internet
While simple and traditional training methods work, the internet is littered with viral fads that often result in injuries. Fitness professionals consistently warn against several commonly misused online trends:
Behind-the-Neck Lat Pulldowns
Pulling a heavy bar behind the neck puts the shoulder in a highly vulnerable position, heavily increasing the risk of impingement and rotator cuff strains.
Overly-Deep Squats / Leg Pressing
While deep squats can be fine for some, pushing past your safe range of motion under heavy loads on the leg press can cause your lower back to round and put dangerous compressive stress on the spine.
Many Cable exercises are often replicated and often not executed correctly, with other exercises more suitable and productive.
Extreme Calisthenics / Viral Challenges
Workouts that require high body control (such as flips or complex push-up variations) are often pushed onto beginners, frequently leading to muscle tears and joint strains.
These are only a few examples and if you do need any advice for exercises picked up on the internet please speak to one of the team first, before trying them.

July Plank Challenge
This month’s challenge requires members to hold a plank position for as long as possible. The position must have the forearms on the mat and the knees off the mat too.
If you’re interested please ask a member of the team to record your time and add it to the score sheet.
It would be great to see if any member could get over 5 minutes. Good Luck!
From Reception To The Hills Of South Wales
Our fantastic receptionist Sacha successfully completed an incredible 26-mile Mighty Hike along the Gower Peninsula, raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Sacha took on this challenge in memory of her dad, who sadly passed away in 2025 after a five-year battle with cancer.
During that time, the support her family received from Macmillan’s palliative care team made a lasting difference — something Sacha was determined to give back for.
We’re so proud to share that Sacha has raised £770, helping ensure that no one has to face cancer alone, and she’s made an amazing impact through her efforts.
If you’d like to read more about Sacha’s story in her own words or support her fundraising, please visit: venue360.co.uk/post/sacha-s-mighty-hike-for-macmillan
