Overindulged during Christmas?

It’s not too late to take part in a ’12 Days of Christmas Fitness Challenge’ with JK House Training Centre.

All proceeds will go to the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF).

The challenge is designed to ease participants into a new exercise routine and create healthier habits for 2021.

And it doesn’t matter where you are on the fitness scale, from complete beginner to fitness fanatic.

During the remaining days of the Christmas break, JK House is setting a series of fitness challenges, each with a festive twist.

By the end of the 12 days, the aim will be that those taking part will have worked up to a good fitness session incorporating all 12 challenges.

Pete Thornton, Chairman of the JTYAF, said: “This is a brilliant idea, and we can’t thank JK House enough for their continued support.

“I’m signed up and definitely going to give it a go.”

Regular updates are being carried on JK House Training Centre’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

Based in Poole, JK House Training Centre has helped many people achieve their fitness goals, from rehabilitation after stroke, to weight loss, improving general health or building up to an endurance event.

The JTYAF was founded in memory of Lieutenant John Thornton, a young Royal Marines officer, who was tragically killed in Afghanistan at the age of 22.

His foundation encourages and supports local young people to ‘climb as high as they can dream’, by providing scholarships and bursaries for their training and personal development in the pursuit of their ambitions.

The Ferndown-based charity has no paid staff, no premises and is run on a purely voluntary basis.

Since 2008 more than £750,000 has been awarded to nearly 2,000 young people.
