Fundraising while you workout!

Since we started our small business we have held annual events to raise money for charity.  We are very lucky to have huge support from our local community, and home at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club, and we thought, “why not give back”.

It all started with a sponsored run. 

We have clients of all ages, shapes and sizes, and various fitness levels.  Suzanne decided her challenge was to run her first marathon… in doing so invited clients, friends, family and community to take part in doing a 5km, 10km, or half marathon to keep her company.  Her good friend Megan even cycled the whole distance!

From then we have held family bootcamps, aerobic and Zumba nights for various charities close to our hearts.  Not only can we encourage clients to get out of their r comfort zone and try different types of exercise, we get to have fun and help other people in the fundraising.

In 2023 we held a 24 hour spin having spin classes every hour.  By 2024 we held 24 hours of fitness with various classes taking part thought the day and night!

In 2025 we signed up for our biggest challenge yet, Strictly Beatson, for Beatson Cancer Charity! This gave us a fundraising target of £10,000 and required finding a team of 6 to work with our allocated professionals.  We got to work and convinced the team and have raised over £23,000! The 6 month training was fantastic and hard work for all involved.  To fundraise we held two 12 hour fitness challenges and some clients managed the entire 12 hours which hugely held the fundraising.  Another brilliant client organized a ladies lunch which brought in over 100 local ladies.  We also held a Folk Night thank you to the fabulous band, Folky McFolk Face.

For anyone unsure about trying to fundraise we would say “do it” It is hard work but the rewards are overwhelming!

Find you charity, something you are passionate about, and find “your” people to help you make it happen!
