  Doesn’t Christmas seem to come around faster every year? Well, to be fair, it might not have felt quite that way for you this time, for understandable reasons.  The past two years have been one of the toughest periods that many of us can remember, especially as far as our fitness routines are concerned. Indeed, it’s only very recently that the UK’s gyms, leisure centres and other sporting venues have been able to build up some real momentum again – and the same could be said for some of us who work out in them.  But even if that special person you know is as avid a gym bunny as they come, this won’t necessarily make it a straightforward task to select the Christmas gift you can be sure they will love.  So, we thought we’d spotlight just a few possibilities for sports training gear you could buy for that certain ‘someone’ from the current Hybryd product range.  Hybryd Black/Grey Socks   Yes, we’re afraid we have to play to one of the dreariest...

This compared to the 17% who were now apparently more active than they were before the coronavirus lockdowns, and the approxim...

  Can you even remember when we were all confined to our homes during the height of the pandemic lockdown restrictions of last year and early 2021? Hopefully, those times will now feel like the distant past for you, as you have once again eased into a challenging and rewarding fitness regime. Indeed, newly released statistics suggest the UK active leisure sector has been mounting a sterling recovery in the last few months.  So, let’s take a look at how gyms and other exercise facilities have been doing lately in their efforts to make up for lost time… and what the future could look like for them and you.  Fitness, leisure and hospitality firms eyeing up strong growth in 2021  One firm sign of how things have turned around for many such venues this year, is the recent set of research results published by Barclays Corporate Banking. As reported by Spa Business , it appears that leisure, fitness, spa and hospitality businesses will contribute about £3.5 billio...
