Fakenham Town LFC bootcamp!

As part of our sponsorship of Fakenham Town Ladies Football Club, we thought we’d put the squad through their paces at one of their bi-weekly training sessions, with a military inspired bootcamp!

Led by our team member, Nik Bryan (ex Army Air Core), we set up circuit training for around 18 of the squad. The circuit included squats, planks, core exercises, shuttle runs, and a dance break!

Our Sports Therapist, Fredericka Ellis de Bootman was also present to introduce herself, as we’ll soon begin a series of stretch recommendations, and tailored Sports Massage advice and treatment.

Following a warm up, Nik provided guidance on each exercise station, before we turned up the (questionable) music (including ABBA and the Cheeky Girls, by popular request) and got going!

The team spirit was high, as the players pushed each other on. The session lasted around 45 minutes, showing great stamina, and closed with a muscle stretching warm down.

Well done to the squad!

Energise skydivers raise Over £700 for Mind!

On Friday, 22nd July, Energise Pentney Health Club & Day Spa team members Megan and Dean jumped from over 13,000 feet for a charity tandem skydive - in aid of Norfolk & Waveney Mind!

The two team members raised over £700 for Energise Pentney Health Club’s chosen mental health charity, and helped to raise more awareness of the important work Norfolk & Waveney Mind do to support those in need. Collectively, almost £10,000 has been raised by the event.

Speaking of the experience, Megan said, “What an amazing opportunity, honestly it was such a wonderful feeling, and knowing that it was for Mind made it even more special - I’ve got the buzz now!

Dean added, “It was the most amazing experience ever! Thank you to Mind for the opportunity to tick a skydive off my bucket list, and for such a good cause.

Hannah & Tan Watfa, Owners, Energise Pentney Health Club, said; “We’re all so proud of Megan and Dean for the courage and dedication they’ve shown to do this for Norfolk and Waveney Mind. As a business we try to do as much as we can to support the charity, through both fundraising and signposting for our Members - our team are a huge part of that so we’re even more thrilled that they took on this challenge!

Our partnership with Swaffham Golf Club

As proud partners of Swaffham Golf Club since 2019, we’re delighted to support their series of events, from their Centenary Celebrations to their Family Fun Day!

Centenary Celebrations (April, 2022)

We were delighted to attend the opening of the commissioned Centenary Clock, with the Mayor of Swaffham, and Chairman of Breckland District Council.

Staying safe in high temperatures

With temperatures rising, we’re sharing a reminder of heatwave advice from the UK Government.

Their top tips for staying safe in hot weather include:

👋 Look out for those who may struggle to keep themselves cool and hydrated – older people, those with underlying conditions and those who live alone are particularly at risk

🪟 Stay cool indoors by closing curtains on rooms that face the sun – and remember that it may be cooler outdoors than indoors

💧 Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol

🚙 Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or animals

🥶 Check that fridges, freezers and fans are working properly

⏰ Try to keep out of the sun between 11am to 3pm, when the UV rays are strongest

👒 Walk in the shade, apply sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat, if you have to go out in the heat

✨ Avoid physical exertion in the hottest parts of the day

🥤 Make sure you take water with you if you are travelling

🏊‍♂️ Take care and make sure to follow local safety advice if you are going into the water to cool down

💊 Check medicines can be stored according to the instructions on the packaging

For advice visit gov.uk or NHS.uk

Energise and Starlings form fruitful partnership!

Energise Pentney Health Club & Day Spa has partnered with Starlings of Swaffham to provide fresh, local fruit to their team, Members and Spa Experience guests, whilst raising money for mental health charity, Norfolk & Waveney Mind. 

Delivered every Tuesday in July, an assortment of ‘easy eat’ fruit is available to take, in return for a donation to Norfolk & Waveney Mind, with both businesses promoting health in body and mind, and the benefits of supporting local independents. 

To celebrate the partnership, the businesses have launched a social media competition to win a £50 Gift Voucher for Energise Pentney, and a Luxury Fruit Basket, as well as sending a Luxury Fruit Hamper to the hard working team at Norfolk & Waveney Mind.

Starlings of Swaffham is a family run business in the heart of Norfolk, with beautiful flowers and local fresh fruit being their speciality and passion. Their shop has been nestled in the market town of Swaffham since they opened their doors back in 1960. Starlings promises the very best quality flowers and luxurious gifts with a personal service from their team.

Kim Starling, Owner, Starlings of Swaffham, said; “It’s a joy to work with Energise Pentney - Norfolk's best kept secret! We love this initiative; fresh fruit is just so good for you. Thank you Hannah for supporting us and for your work with Norfolk & Waveney Mind, a very important charity - much needed in these challenging times.”

Energise Pentney Health Club and Day Spa, awarded Norfolk’s Best Independent Day Spa in the Muddy Stiletto’s Awards, is a hub for physical and mental well-being, with a mission to help people feel good in body and mind. 

Hannah Watfa, Owner, Energise Pentney, said; “Independent businesses need to support each other - meeting Kim and her team was such a joy as we share so many of the same objectives. Our Members value quality, so it was a natural partnership to team up and provide locally sourced, amazing quality fruit to our Members, in return for donations to our chosen charity, Norfolk & Waveney Mind.” 

Alex Wiseman, Partnerships and Income Generation Manager at Norfolk and Waveney Mind said: “We work to ensure that no one in Norfolk and Waveney has to face poor mental health alone and partnerships like this enable us to reach far more people, helping to build healthier, more resilient communities.

“Year on year demand for our services increases and we couldn’t continue to do what we do without the support from organisations like Energise Pentney Health Club & Day Spa. We can’t thank them enough for helping us to continue to provide local support, to local people, when they need us most.”

We’re keen to use our assets, including our Fitness Instructors and Sports Massage Therapists to help the team garner even more success. Our ethos is about balance in body and mind, and we look forward to helping the team achieve this. We’ll be welcoming the players for a team Spa Experience, offering Training Programmes and, of course, running some giveaways for the Ghost’s supporters.”

FTLFC Co-Manager, Ed Savage, said; “We couldn’t be happier to have Energise Pentney Health Club & Day Spa come on board as our training partner. Following our recent promotion to the Eastern Regions Division one North, this partnership will help us level up the training environment and injury management of the squad, which with the facilities and knowledge available will support the development and evolution of Fakenham Town Ladies.”
