February goals: Fall back in love with your body with fitness classes and gym sessions in Lancaster

Cupid goes hand in hand with Valentine’s Day, and is often linked to matters of the heart, but as a keen sportsman (archery counts!) there is literally another string to his bow – building stronger connections.

With fiery passion and affection, as befits the son of Venus and Mars, his goals chime in nicely with a local health club’s fitness theme for the month.

And while this includes physical fitness, health club owner Sean Thornton says the connections, the sense of community and the friendships on offer are a crucial part of all round wellbeing.

He said: “We see for ourselves every day that people who don’t travel solo on their fitness journey often see improved results. It can be as simple as committing to go to class or training with a friend gives you an increased motivation to attend, but I think there’s more to it. People working out together and challenging one another have a shared goal, or even a competitiveness, that drives them on.

“And of course, spending more quality time with a loved one or close friend is high on most people’s wishlists, so this combines the two.”

At 3-1-5 Health Club there’s a host of sessions perfectly designed for a friends or couples to do together.

- Joint personal training sessions: Even if your fitness levels don’t match, your PT can bring out the best in both of you.

- Dancing: Fitsteps or Zumba you choose and get those feet moving to the rhythm you love – fitness!

- Yoga for two: Partner yoga brings a beautiful harmony to this already spiritual exercise, where couples can enhance trust and connection.

- Friendly challenges: Team up with your buddy of choice and set yourself a weekly challenge throughout February’s month of love – 3-1-5’s special offers for the month will let you try new classes with a chum.

Sean added: “In the month when most marketing pushes red roses and candlelit dinners as the only way to find or express love, we say ‘do things differently’. Love your own body, and spend time making it feel better. Love spending time with friends or partners at the health club, focussing on healthier lifestyles. And love to unwind in our friendly community – grab a cuppa in the café or chill out in the spa and sauna to relax, unwind, and practice self-care.”
