I was again a bit nervous coming back to the gym, not because it hasn’t been in great hands. After all, Ann Williams, Daniel Smith, Enfys Tannerand Emma Williams are incredible people and.i couldn’t wish for better people looking after the gym, the feedback has again been immense.
I was worried would the BBC get what they were looking for? I needed a great night without prior warning and we did it all off the cuff. THREE and a half hours of filming was to follow.
Just to let you know that the reporter Nick Hartley was deeply impressed with you all, and got a LOT more than he wanted. He said we were were UNIQUE as a gym, and has has worked in BBC Sport everywhere and current affairs for over 10 years.
It was raining and cold all evening, yet he had amazing shots of inside the gym, as well as the great Jamie Hawkins class outside. Massive thanks to Jamie and the parents who brought their children tonight, it was immense he said.
He planned for an hour or so but the fact he stayed 3 and a half says it all.
My few days away gave me time to think. Time away is always good for thinking time.
Our positive culture dictates that no dirty feet should ever walk through our minds as Gandi said. We are the red army of positivity and achievement, and we can overcome anything if we put our minds to it.
The filming tonight was all about us being normal everyday people and our thoughts on health but on everyday life, and the upcoming election. REAL people and REAL issues being discussed.
Just again, I wanted to let you know how proud I am of ALL of you creating something very special and most of all, I want you to keep doing your best and keep believing you can do great things every day.
