Often people quit a sport or hobby due to an injury which never quite heals. It can really leave people sinking into a lower state of being and reduce their quality of life. Knowledge is power and the ability to understand the human condition has been the main focus of Ed’s Life ever since he started talking. Our private Commercial gym membership comes free with any of our martial arts class memberships and is not open to the general public. We offer tailor made fitness programmes that will increase your cardiovascular endurance, musculoskeletal strength and re-balance your flexibility with your mobility. Ed’s approach to fitness builds a strong & powerful body that is both agile and fit for purpose, whether that be, sprinting for a bus or running a full marathon, dancing or cage fighting, rock climbing or just simply having the energy to play with your gran children. Get the best out of your body with VFGym.
