“It was a good workout without realising you were working with the great music, dancing and disco lighting. Abi’s class was just the right level so you don’t feel overwhelmed or intimidated with complicated moves and Abi was very clear with her instructions in a really fun way.”
“Just wanted to say what a great class yesterday was. Abi is fantastic and the class was so enjoyable and friendly.”
“Cherry is a fantastic run leader, a real inspiration. Honest, understanding, and supportive. The Cherry Toop motto ‘If you think you can’t, you won’t. If you think you can, you will.”

This Girl Can have launched their new campaign, Let's Get Out There, which seeks to inspire more women to enjoy the many benefits of being active outdoors. We know that women, in particular those from culturally diverse backgrounds, face greater barriers to accessing and enjoying outdoor spaces – whether it's a lack of access or awareness, or not knowing what to expect. But spending time in green and blue spaces – from urban parks and canals, to coastal paths and forests – is great for your physical and mental health, boosting your happiness and confidence. What's…
All the gear, some idea. At SASP HQ we are trying our best to do what we can for the environment; one of those is to find ways to reduce our carbon emissions through vehicle travel. Active transport is a real priority and we’re encouraged to do our best to walk or cycle to our meetings, or workplace. I know working from home has its benefits, especially on the environment but not always on our mental health; seeing team members, catching up, running a thought past them and sometimes just basking in the company of others…
You are the number one priority. I’ve been so fortunate to work on In It Together for a year and a half now, but that doesn’t mean I’m not constantly striving for continuous improvement, and part of that is gaining your confidence in the project, and for you to have my assurance that you can do it. I make it my goal when sourcing and speaking to instructors that whatever your age and/or ability, you will be able to participate in an In It Together course. Unless stated otherwise, the courses put on for all abilities…
Blog written by Sally, Kuk Sool Won Instructor When I started my martial arts journey it was mainly to learn self-defence, but I ended up getting hooked into it and years later I achieved my Third-Degree Black Belt (Assistant Instructor) in a traditional Korean martial art called Kuk Sool Won™ in November 2022. I began my martial arts journey later in life at the age of 36. I had moved across the country leaving behind family and friends for a career opportunity. I was living on my own in an area and did not know anyone. …

Back by popular demand! Join us on Thursday 19th January, for another In It Together Kit-Swap at our SASP offices! This is an opportunity to swap out any old active wear or sport equipment you might have for someone else’s! Don't worry if you don't have anything to swap, you can still come along and pick up those pair of leggings you've needed!

A Wellbeing Guide from In It Together Somerset We are so excited to launch our first ever Wellbeing Guide! We understand how important our wellbeing is for our physical and mental health, so we decided to create a guide that can be used throughout the year, at any time that works for you! Throughout each section, you will be able to find ways of getting active, find inspiration, motivation and resources to help you. "We see and hear the word 'wellbeing' everywhere and it’s quite a broad concept, but ultimately it’s about identifying what is good…
"What is Chi Running?!" Was that the first question you asked yourself when you saw this? Mine too! So I HAD to investigate further. Knowing the physical and mental benefits of Tai Chi, I needed to know if it was this practice and the elements of it put into running, and if so, how? What a combination! The endless runs I’ve been on where it’s hurt, I’ve grimaced through every mile, and even after all my stretching, my calves still scream at me days after. Perhaps like me, the idea of lacing up and going out…
