Better Choices, Better Health with Club Corona
According to the latest statistics; 1 in every 3 children, and nearly 2 of every 3 adults in the UK are overweight or obese, putting many at risk of complications or unnecessary death should they contract Covid-19.
The government’s recent announcement on its new obesity strategy linking it to “beating coronavirus” includes plans on banning TV and online adverts, ending “buy one get one free” promotion deals for high salt, sugar and fat foods, plus calorie labelling on restaurant menus.
Tailored to suit the varying needs of the general population, The Fit Box was quick off the mark to set up an online hub called ‘Club Corona’, specifically for members to stay fit and connected throughout lockdown.
Starting with a free live exercise schedule which ran from March to July, Club Corona continues to offer a lifeline to many people in terms of supporting mental and physical health.
Education provider and small group training club, The Fit Box, has continued serving its members and the wider community during the global pandemic via a series of online exercise classes and live workouts.
For the past 10 years, The Fit Box has coached members from its studio gym in Bracknell. Now, due to recent events, the team has shifted its focus to helping people as much as possible using the digital tools available.
Paul Russell, founder The Fit Box says “Over the last 5 months, our workouts have reached tens of thousands of people around the globe, delivered by our excellent personal trainers. We are forever grateful for the generosity and commitment shown by all of our supporters during this time and we are now ready to move into the next phase of Club Corona, in line with the UK government’s Better Health Campaign.”
Paul Russell has pledged his time, every day, for the next 12 weeks to guide and educate anyone who is serious about achieving sustainable weight loss.
Throughout July, Russell has been eating and drinking high sugar and fat content to reach physical obesity himself, in order to fully empathise with those taking part.
Russell continues “There are no sales, no special shakes or potions, and no strings attached – we simply want to help people make better choices in order to live longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives”.
For their own benefit and to keep track of results, participants will be guided throughout a series of videos to write down the following information for future reference only:
- weight, height and waist circumference
- realistic and achievable fitness goals
- to do list / action plan
Measurement reviews will be taken on 24th August, 24th September and 22nd October and participants can choose if they wish to share their results with the group.
Anyone looking to take part and start a new path to better health, contact paul@thefitnessbox.co.uk or head over to the facebook page and search for ‘teamfitbox’ where the first of many videos in the programme can be viewed.
