Started in response to people wanting to get fit using the same course used in the Race for Life, they have been getting fantastic results for their clients ever since.

You can also make use of the classes at Wakefield and Bradford also for the same cost for maximum flexibility and benefit. The success of the clients is largely down to the instructors, all past or present serving military personnel, and they certainly understand how to motivate and support the clients through their one hour exercise session. So if you are not getting any fitter using your current methods or need that EXTRA push and motivation then get yourself down there and join some of your colleagues. ALL HASSRA members are welcome to a WEEKS FREE trial on top of their 10% DISCOUNT and there is no need to book, but remember to tell them where you heard about the sessions to claim your discount.
