| Les Mills Speed Dating in September & October |
|
|
 |
Get yourself out there and give it a go! One of the main reasons single people join a fitness centre is to find someone that ticks their boxes and makes their wheels spin. Let's face it, life's hectic and it's become harder to meet people. So to make it easier for you to connect with other single, outgoing, professional, Les Mills people - we’re trialling Speed Dating in Studio 1! If it proves to be popular, we’ll run this event regularly and also cater for the over 45s . This is the perfect way to meet 12 new people in one night...fun, non-threatening and easy!
