Nine beautiful Bandits were a-go go go, through wind and snow, for leaflet dropping, body popping and a slippery track hopping - Monday night in Brent

At our bi-monthly track session, sponsored by wind-chill and wet-face snow, it would take a hardcore and determined crew to do good, trash the track and all through the hideous mockery of this badass Baltic weather. But wait it's Goodgym Brent so of course they did and smashed it with 100% Girl Power ladies day style.... Who run the world.... GIRLS

Greeted by the fabulous faces of my ravishingly regulars I was delighted and overwhelmed to be joined by so many, on one of the most brutal weather night so far this year. Rocking up to the sesh this eve was: Red-Sock-Sadhana, Silent Assassin Samina, Speedy Steph, Awesome Andrea, Clare AKA Mouse in the House and Pole-Dark-Horse Amy. Adding to the collection of the family's I seem to have been securing in Brent, were newbie familia collective Ozlem and Betul mum and daughter combo. YAY!

After housekeeping and catch ups it was full steam ahead, with Mouse leading the warm-up, setting the tone, with full squad high kneeing in the glittering lights of our lovely home The Queensbury and with warm-up done, it was time to roll out and rep!

With a conditioning session in store at the track for the lucky ladies, focusing on plyos, core strength and the power of glutes, my courageous crew obviously couldn't wait to get started and began to dash off the mile run in record timing, speeding through Willesden & sprinkling all the GG Brent cheer along the way.

In 18mins flat Oh yeh!!!! we arrived at the track and just as we were about to obliterate the red racer that greeted us, the heavens opened and down came the snow!!! OMG!!! it really was snow joke! Lucky for us though, the sheltered seating area overlooking the lanes, provided the perfect Plan B arena and the games could continue with.....

  • High knee stair runs

  • Walking lunges

  • Walking lunge lifts

  • Squats

  • Core

  • Fast-Feet

  • Plyo squat jump

Smashed apart in 30mins flat CORE-BLIMEY

After all the Fitness Fun, we were rewarded with a dry cruise back to base and of course, no woman was left behind with back markers receiving regular visits in the form of team tempos and scoop-ups for good measure. Back at base and stretch in full swing newbie Betul schooled us in the art of sexy stretching with her cirque de solei style skills including contortionist hamstring bendiness and back bends like she literally has no spine!!!! Wowzer!

Another awesome night, with a female empowerment Pow Pow Girl Power session, that spiced up the life of Willesden on a snowy, wet and windy Monday.

See you next time!!!! If you dare!!!!!

DO GOOD. FEEL GOOD. INSPIRE.
