Rob & Anne Conquer the West Highland Way
Congratulations to Rob and Anne on completing the famous West Highland Way in Scotland!
The pair completed the 100-mile route in just six days and were fortunate to enjoy excellent weather throughout their journey. Despite a little sunburn and only one encounter with the notorious Scottish midges, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
One of the toughest sections was tackling the legendary Devil’s Staircase, the highest and most challenging climb on the route, reaching an elevation of 548 metres. While the ascent is demanding, many walkers agree that the long, rocky descent into Kinlochleven can be even tougher on the legs and knees.
An incredible achievement and a fantastic example of determination and endurance. Well done to both of you!

Why are Weight-Bearing Exercises so Beneficial?
When people hear the term “weight training,” they often picture bodybuilders lifting heavy weights. However, weight-bearing exercise is beneficial for everyone, regardless of age, experience, or fitness goals.
Strength training plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and wellbeing. Regular weight-bearing exercise can help increase bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, while also preserving muscle mass and lowering the risk of injury.
The benefits extend far beyond building strength. Regular resistance training can:
Improve balance and stability
Support healthy joints, tendons, and ligaments
Maintain functional movement for everyday activities
Improve mobility and independence
Help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Lower the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
Promote healthy ageing and longevity
Even just two strength-training sessions per week can make a significant difference when performed consistently.
As part of your Lifelines membership, we offer a personalised exercise programme tailored to your goals and abilities. Speak to one of our instructors to arrange a consultation and start your weight training journey with confidence.
Saturday Yoga Class Time Change
Please note that from June onwards, our Saturday Yoga class will start slightly earlier.
New Class Time: 10:15am – 11:00am
We look forward to seeing you on the mat!
Connor Takes on the Bluebells 10K Trail Run!
A huge well done to Connor, who recently completed the Bluebells Trail 10K with Run the Wild in an impressive time of 1 hour 44 minutes!
Connor has been a regular participant in the Tuesday and Sunday morning 5K runs at The Social in Ampthill, which helped him prepare for the challenge. Reflecting on the experience, Connor said:
“Running in the countryside offers something completely different to running on the road. It’s more challenging, but also far more rewarding being surrounded by wildlife and immersed in nature. The run was tough, but I would happily do it again!”
Local Parkruns continue to grow in popularity and are a fantastic way to stay active, meet new people, and challenge yourself. If you’d like to take part, speak to one of our instructors who can provide details of local events.
Lifelines Dream Team Winner!
Congratulations to Gary Peters, winner of this year’s Lifelines Dream Team competition!
Gary secured first place with an outstanding performance, finishing more than 92 points ahead of runner-up Annie Lovell. Third place went to last year’s champion, Jordan Foster.
As the winner, Gary receives a free month’s membership.
Well done to all participants, and thank you for making the competition such a success!
June Challenge: 1000-Metre SkiErg
This month’s challenge is simple: how quickly can you complete 1,000 metres on the SkiErg?
Choose your preferred resistance level, set the distance to 1,000 metres, and give it your best effort. Whether you’re aiming to set a personal best or simply challenge yourself, we’d love to see your results.

Luton Open 3 - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Comes to Venue 360
On Saturday 23rd May, Venue 360 hosted the Luton Open 3 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship - one of the largest grassroots grappling competitions in the region, bringing together almost 200 athletes from clubs across the UK.
The atmosphere on the day was fantastic. Families, coaches, and teammates packed the hall, and the competition ran smoothly from start to finish. It was exactly the kind of community event that makes Luton’s martial arts scene something to be proud of.
Competitors ranged from young children stepping onto the mat for the very first time, to seasoned adult and masters’ athletes, all competing in a safe, well-structured, and energetic environment.
The event was organised by Emil Wajerowicz, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under world-renowned Professor Roger Gracie and founder of EW Jiu Jitsu—the club proudly based at Venue 360.
If you are looking to give Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a try, EW Jiu-Jitsu runs classes right here at Venue 360 on Wednesdays and Fridays. All abilities welcome – no experience needed!
