Say hello to the 30 minute, "no-sweat" workout! Movers & Shapers opens in Stratford upon Avon

Fancy losing weight, toning up and energising your life without any stress, crash dieting or trips to the gym? Want to purchase a state-of-the-art Power Plate® for your home? Or enjoy a yoga or pilates class with expert instruction? Two years ago the first UK Movers & Shapers opened its doors in London and started a lifestyle revolution. Now with the backing of health giant, Bupa and hundreds of energised clients across London, Movers & Shapers is delighted to bring its unique blend of retail and lifestyle exercise to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

Whatever lifestyle, age or fitness level, the Movers & Shapers team promise to help clients to tone up and energise using a unique fusion of twice-weekly, 30 minute Power Plate sessions and Fitbug®, an online well-being coach to help build more activity into every day. The results speak for themselves….

After just six weeks of Movers & Shapers sessions average client body fat reduced by 4% waist size slimmed 1 ½ inches and upper arm circumference toned by an inch. Furthermore, clients have continued to see sustainable improvements in their health and well-being as they continue with their sessions.

In line with the Movers & Shapers philosophy, these aren't sensational improvements achieved through starvation diets or a tough gym regime; they are real and sustainable changes achieved with no stress, just two sessions a week and
a steady increase in activity.

Movers & Shapers is also more than a place to workout. For those looking to rebalance the body, rebuild core strength and enhance inner calm, Movers & Shapers features a beautiful yoga and pilates studio offering a range of classes. Specialist massage, physiotherapy and holistic therapies are also offered from its dedicated therapy rooms.

If it's retail therapy you're after, Manager Veronica Winter has sourced a stylish collection of organic active clothing, lifestyle and home fitness accessories and body products including a detox range from Stratford's Jane Scrivner. And Movers & Shapers are the Power Plate specialists, offering a range of affordable Power Plates for the home including the new my3 and the my5. Uniquely, Movers & Shapers offers free personal training with any Power Plate purchase and a level of expertise and after-sales care that is unrivalled.

And here's what Movers & Shapers clients say about it…
"I had researched the phenomenal Power Plate quite extensively before visiting Movers & Shapers last year, but the added bonus at Movers & Shapers is the excellent team of instructors, who encourage, challenge and cajole until excellence is achieved! My body is much more supple, toned and strong; stress levels have been reduced; endorphin levels have been increased; blood pressure has been regulated; and my endurance and stamina have increased amazingly. I'm delighted and will definitely be continuing with Movers & Shapers to maintain these levels."

BACKGROUND INFO Backed by BUPA and conceived by some of our leading experts in health and well-being, Movers & Shapers is a new style of 'high street' fitness spaces. This is no gym; it's a place to pop in, catch up with the team, do a quick session, check your progress at the in-house "Lab" and pick up any supplies you need from the retail space. It's a three stage approach to a healthier lifestyle… • Clients are first treated to a full health MOT at the in-house "Lab" – this records their body stats, their lifestyle and their goals, accessible online at any time • Next each client is issued with a Fitbug, a matchbox-sized gadget that records all physical activity and acts like a personal coach. Once hooked up to a PC with its USB, the day's activity levels are fed back to the mother website which assesses the client's progress against goals • Then clients book in for two 30 minute personalised training sessions per week at the Movers & Shapers in-house Power Plate studio. This is the latest in advanced vibration technology and gives an effective and "no sweat" workout in far less time than using traditional exercise equipment. Fans include leading sportspeople, athletes and entertainers such as Kylie, Jonathan Ross and Claudia Schiffer Movers & Shapers is all about building activity into everyday life: from nipping in for a Power Plate session while out shopping; to walking the long way round the office to the photocopier to increase your target Fitbug step-count. Movers & Shapers locations are designed for convenience; Fitbug is designed to make activity levels visible and show you how to make the difference. These combined can help to motivate and get to the client's goals quicker and without a massive change in lifestyle. No yo-yo effect. No faddy diets. No lapsed gym memberships. Just simple, stress-free toning up.
