Services
Running, yoga, strength, swimming, rehabilitation and programmes for groups and companies.
Four ability groups meeting five times a week on the firm sand and the coast path, from a walk-run group for complete beginners to an interval session for people chasing a time. Each block runs for ten weeks with a stated goal, easy weeks built in and a written plan for the days between sessions. Coaches carry a first-aid kit and a phone, routes are chosen for tide and light, and headtorches and reflective vests are supplied in winter at no charge.
Classes on the covered timber deck facing the water, from sunrise vinyasa and slow evening sessions to pilates, mobility for runners and a gentle class designed for older participants and anyone returning from injury. Mats, blocks, straps and blankets are provided, classes are capped at sixteen, and the deck is heated in winter with windbreaks on three sides. Teachers hold recognised qualifications and their training is listed on the timetable rather than described vaguely.
Strength sessions on the sand using sandbags, kettlebells, ropes, sleds and bodyweight, structured in blocks that progress properly rather than changing randomly each week. Soft sand is used deliberately for hill-style work, and technique is coached individually. Sessions run at three intensities so that a first-timer and a competitive athlete can train side by side without either being wasted. All equipment is provided, and the area is covered by a shade sail in summer.
Guided open-water swims year-round with lifeguard cover, tow floats, marked entry and exit points and a hot shower waiting. Beginner sessions teach sighting, breathing and dealing with chop; winter sessions focus on safe cold-water exposure with short, controlled immersions and proper rewarming. Wetsuits can be hired, and a swim-run session combines the two disciplines along the coast. All swimmers are counted in and out of the water every time.
Assessment, treatment and rehabilitation with physiotherapists who work alongside the coaching team, available to members and to anyone else. Services include running gait analysis on the sand, strength testing, injury rehabilitation in small groups, and staged return-to-training plans coordinated with your coach. Appointments are usually available within a few days, and reports are written in plain language so that you understand what is wrong and what will fix it.
Weekend retreats combining running, yoga, swimming and food, run twice a season with accommodation nearby. Companies can book morning sessions for staff, and we run a corporate membership used by several local employers. We also organise a beach race series, a winter swim event and free community classes for older residents and teenagers. Groups and clubs visiting the coast can book coached sessions and use of the facilities by arrangement.
