I run a gym from 20 Gainsborough drive called Health & Fitness Solutions  and am looking to give any of your members a once a week yoga session taken by Hellen Van Velden free for the next 6 weeks. All they need to do is get in touch with me on 0832360641 to book their spot in the class and to show proof that they are  a member of the club. Our FB page is called Health & Fitness Solutions. You can go take a look if you are interested.
