Welcome to the Heart of Thrive Fitness Coaching
We believe that fitness is about more than just workouts—it’s about connection, support, and shared success. Our community is a group of like-minded women who uplift, encourage, and inspire one another every step of the way.
From our outdoor training sessions to our social gatherings, we’ve created a space where friendships flourish, goals are celebrated, and everyone feels like they truly belong.
Take a look at some of our favourite moments together, and if you’d like to see more, join us in our members-only Facebook group by clicking here. It’s where the conversation continues, and the support never stops.
Saturday Socials and Weekend Brunches
Every second Saturday during the spring and summer we stay in the park after the 08:00 session for tea, coffee, cake and bacon rolls – with our plant based members taken great care of too.
This is always very popular as it gives members a chance to chat and chill. Family and four legged friends are also very welcome too.
In the autumn and winter we organise monthly brunches in St Albans which involve an optional walk too.
Sunday Morning Runs
Our members organise weekly weekend meetups to run together. This attracts a variety of abilities with the focus always being on conversation and enjoyment.
Like all our sessions, they are inclusive with a light hearted atmosphere with guaranteed chat and laughter.
Many members join Great in 8 with no intention of ever running but are surprised by how quickly they become fitter and stronger. Some then join the Sunday runs to enjoy training for a 5k event (the Rudolf Run is a firm favourite) which then leads, for many, to our annual trip to Harpenden for the Herts 10K pictured here.
Cold Water Club
New for 2023, and immediately very popular, is our cold water club. 30 of our members signed up for winter membership at St Albans Lido which runs from the 1st October to the 31st March.
We have dips at 09:30 Saturday and Sunday with members arranging meetups at other times throughout the week in our dedicated Whatsapp group.
You can click HERE to see a short clip of one of our Saturday morning dips.
Bank Holiday Bingo
Every Bank Holiday we run one session at 09:30 which is a family and friends session.
This is probably the most fun session we run as the kids and friends of members join in a friendly game based workout.
Everyone leaves feeling like a winner while sharing a lot of laughs with each other.
If you want to know how our Bank Holiday Bingo workout works you’ll just have to come along and try a session 😉
