Based in Truro, St Austell and in the Roseland, Cornwall, we run fun and energising fitness classes, social and fundraising events and wellbeing workshops. Anyone and everyone is welcomed into our family. We aim to promote health, wellbeing and a general lust for life. For more info how we have arrived here, take a look at our first blog post – Love life.
Unfortunately but also fortunately, it came from a dark place that I found my love for movement. When I graduated uni, being young and full of life and opportunities, excitement and hopefulness should have been running through my veins; but instead, I found myself heading towards a deep depression.
I was fortunate enough to have a dear friend be brutally honest with me and make me realise that feeling like I was living in a state of helplessness was not normal and it was not OK.
I took action, got help and started running and swimming. Walking out of the pool one day, I saw a group of excited people buzzing to get into a class, what was it? Zumba. And just like that, I found my love for dance, I had found myself.
I have since become very mindful that we are not always OK and that’s OK too; and as important as it is to let emotions be and not fight them, I feel it is equally as important to be aware of them and learn to cope when we are not OK; and movement does that for me. Movement and exercise for me is a way to reset our bodies and our minds, it releases all those feel good hormones that remind us of how awesome life is. Movement for me is a celebration of being alive.
Jem is a busy mum of three who holds down a management job with a local charity. She started practicing Pilates after suffering with a bad back for years. After six years of personal practice (which resulted in a very restored back), she decided to train as a Maternity based Pilates instructor. Having first hand felt the benefit of Pilates movement, she has further developed her skills and can offer more specialist interventions, including Barre and pre and post natal Pilates. Always up for a laugh and challenge, her classes aim to bring body awareness, build strentgh and an improved range of movement using Pilates principles of concentration, flow, breath and precision.

He is a particularly keen runner – regularly representing St Austell Running Club in local races, and most days he
can be found at Snap Fitness in St Austell, working one to one with clients or teaching classes. Rich enjoys working hard with people of all levels of
experience to achieve their fitness goals, and most importantly to enjoy the process of becoming stronger, fitter and healthier.
