When you think about getting the most out of your membership at Colets, you might picture trying a new class, booking a PT session, or coming along to one of our events.

Real Members, Real Motivation

What does it really look like to make the most of your Colets membership? Meet Dan and Rich - for them it’s not about perfection - it’s about progress. From lifting weights to playing squash, diving into the pool to testing out Reformer Pilates, these two members show how variety, consistency, and a healthy bit of rivalry can help unlock your full potential - week by week.

Sharing a workout is sharing support, laughter, and sometimes a little struggle too and that’s what makes it special.  

Whether it’s your best mate cheering you through that last rep, your partner turning a jog into a race, or your sister showing off her signature Pilates moves, there’s something truly special about moving together and sharing the journey with the people who lift you.  

As we shine a light on Men’s Month, we’re proud to share the story of Rory, a recent and truly inspiring new member of the Colets team.

Rory is our Senior Duty Manager and will soon be joining our fitness team. With 8 years of experience as a personal trainer, fitness has always been a central part of his life, not just professionally, but personally.

Colet’s stalwart, Adrian Jaski is taking a step back from competitive squash and we recently caught up with him to hear his story. 

Adrian’s squash story is one of determination, joy, and global adventure. From club matches to international tournaments, coaching juniors to conquering pain, his love for the game has never wavered. And if there’s one thing to take from his journey, it’s this: squash can change your life - it certainly changed his. 

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our inspiring junior members - Keaton! He’s sharing his squash journey so far, along with the support of his family, who are all active members of Colets.

Walk into the squash courts in the afternoon, and you might spot a blur of movement, energy, and focus - that’s Keaton. At just 9 years old, he’s already a familiar face in the squash scene, balancing fun with fierce determination as he trains, competes, and grows through every match.

For women’s month we’re putting the spotlight on inspiring fitness and wellbeing stories from within our own team. Introducing our very own local fitness hero, HR guru and fave mum, Katie!  

Meet Dave, a shining example that it’s never too late to learn something new. At 41, he decided to tackle front crawl swimming for the first time, proving that with determination and the right support, you can achieve incredible things at any age.

I was a TV line producer in the BBC’s drama department for over 25 years where I worked on many of the BBC’s most popular dramas until becoming a full time stay at home dad in 2007.

June has been a vibrant part of the Colets community for over 20 years. Her journey with us is filled with dedication to fitness, heartfelt charity runs, and wonderful friendships. Here’s a look at how June embraces life, fitness, and keeps the “old lady” at bay!

At Colets, we are excited to be celebrating Women’s Squash Week from Monday 16th September to Sunday 22nd September 2024.

Frances Knight is a long-time member of Colets Health & Fitness, and recently became the lucky winner of our Friday with Friends Member Referral Prize Draw.

Pippa Murphy has been a dedicated member of Colets Health and Fitness since 2010, and her journey has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, Pippa accomplished a monumental fitness goal; completing the L’Etape du Tour. This gruelling event involved a 156km ride with 4,000 meters of climbing, all in sweltering 37-degree heat. Pippa’s success is a testament to her dedication, resilience, and the support she found here at Colets.

Rob Morrison’s journey at Colets Health and Fitness began nearly a year ago, and since then, he’s made quite the splash—both in the pool and in the community. Motivated by a newfound love for swimming and a desire to contribute to meaningful causes, Rob recently took on the MySwimathon 30.9km Challenge, raising funds for Cancer Research and Marie Curie.

At Colets Health and Fitness, we believe that wellness is even better when shared with friends and family.

That's why our latest campaign, "Fridays with Friends," is all about making your club experience more enjoyable and inclusive than ever before - because as they say, sharing is caring!

Motherhood is a journey filled with boundless love, joy, and wonder.

Though amidst the beauty of becoming a mother, there's a complex landscape of emotions, challenges, and adjustments.

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is a crucial opportunity to shine a light on the mental wellbeing of mothers; the importance of support, understanding, and self-care.

We're thrilled to introduce an exciting addition to Colets – Cargo!

Nestled in a unique urban space, Cargo is set to bring a fresh twist to functional fitness right here in Thames Ditton.
