Awards, Free Classes & Finishing Strong!
As the end of the year draws near, Thrive continues to evolve, lift, laugh, and grow.
From progress in the gym to celebrations outside of it, here’s your round-up of what’s happening this December 👇
🎉 Christmas Party Recap – What a Night!
Huge thanks to everyone who came to the Thrive Christmas Party—great energy, even better outfits, and brilliant company all round.
Special mention to our award winners:
🏆 Craig & Kate – 2025 Star Members
Recognised for their consistent graft, trust in the process, and steady progress in and out of the gym.
Susan – Thriving Through Adversity
For stepping outside her comfort zone and staying focused through every challenge—resilience in action.
🌟 December Member of the Month – Sarah M.
Sarah nailed her last training block, hitting PBs across all key lifts. Sarah has also become a core part of the Thrive community, always up for a laugh and helping new faces feel instantly at home.
Top work, Sarah! 👏
🆕 New Programme Block – Building Better Lifts
Great to see so many of you starting this block by stepping a little outside your comfort zones.
The focus on technical refinement and control is already showing—you're not lifting more, you’re lifting better.
This deliberate work now will pay off massively when we head into another heavy strength phase in the new year.
Stay dialled in and keep focusing on quality!
📅 Christmas Schedule is Live
We’ve made some slight adjustments to session availability over the festive period.

A polite reminder to arrive a few minutes early, especially if you need to get changed or switch shoes.
We appreciate that for some it isn hard to avoid. The weather doesn't help. If that can be calculated in to your commute time so we can start promptly, that would be greatly appreciated
We aim to start each session with a clear brief - not just for structure, but for your safety and progress. Thanks for helping us keep sessions smooth and effective for everyone.
