you cannot out-train a bad diet

🍔 ‘you cannot out-train a bad diet’ 🍟
.
… well maybe as a 10-20 year old you can, possibly not at 30 and certainly not at 40!
.
At age 42 & in reasonable shape, I have learned – you are product of your choices, your daily habits as well as your consistency over a period of time
So … take accountability and blame no one but yourself for your position, choices and ultimately your future you💪🏻‘discipline your disappointment’
but of course
‘celebrate your successes!’This goes for exercise and nutrition but for in life and business too! 😉

The Paradox of our Time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider roads, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

Testimonial – Atlanta Hickman

I have been apart of VERVE for 4 years now and the time I have spent with all of them has been awesome.

VERVE is literally one big family and everyone is involved and encouraged together. I find having an instructor like Master John Swift is the key. John has so much passion in the martial arts and is always learning himself and developing new skills to give back to the verve team. I find this amazing and it shows how hard he works to ensure the best for the students. The instructors of verve are always interactive on social media and are always super at getting everyone involved. Verve also put one lots of different events to suit for everyone from Nerf games, holiday camp to kicking seminars and sparring.

I find verve an amazing school and a great atmosphere to be around.

Thank you for being amazing

I am convinced our plan will change very slightly as the expected government updates are released mid-July eg outdoor session move indoors, sports centres will open, student instructor ratios will increase from 5-1 to 10-1 etc so I would ask for a little patience as we try our very best to get back to some kind of new ‘changed’ normality lol If you’d like to see more information on the plan, as well as see spaces that are still available, please see the attached pdf schedule and registersNote – somedays are almost full already, we do have the ability to increase instructors or even times slots but will only do so on demand
Interested in booking in?At this stage we are only taking monthly payers as we are very limited on spaces. We are committing our time to you so hopefully you will do the same for us.
You can set up a standing order for the 1st of the month for the month or make a single payment through the website as follows –

£24.00 for 1 class per week for the month
£36.00 for 2 classes per week for the month
£48.00 for 3 classes per week for the month
https://www.vervemartialarts.co.uk/collections/classes

Note – all cancelled standing orders should be reset to the above prices of course including 3rd family members discounts

………………………………………

Additional notes –
🥊 Bring your own gloves & focus pads if you have them as we won’t be lending out any equipment!
Wear trainers as well as bring a rain jacket and a drink!!
☔️ We will absolutely be training in the rain but we do draw the line at dangerous high winds as well as thunder & lightening storms ha ha – if we have to cancel classes due to bad weather we will do the sessions online via Zoom.
🥳 You are booked into specific sessions for the month so do try and make it to every one as missed classes will NOT be carried forwards

I am sure you will agree that we have a great starting point and there is truly nothing we cannot overcome as a team!
Again thank you for your continued support, we can’t wait to see you all & get back to it!

Respect as always
