To hear how free exercise classes in Finsbury Park are helping residents get back in shape after the festive season, Lynne Featherstone MP on Friday met the fitness trainer behind the initiative.

Shamir Sidhu, from MoreFit personal training studio, started the weekly FreeFit training sessions in Finsbury Park in June to help local residents get in shape for free. The trainer and his team run the classes, aimed at all levels of fitness, every Saturday at 2:30pm.

All local residents are welcome to join; they just need to show up at the Stroud Green Road entrance to Finsbury Park.

Lynne Featherstone MP comments:

“It’s so important to exercise regularly, but for many, joining a gym is just too expensive when the budget is tight.

“It’s fantastic to meet someone like Shamir, who is really driven to help get people in shape, has a lot of expertise, and who now wants to offer that to more local residents.

“If you want to swap an hour in front of the TV for a free training session in the park, why not join FreeFit, and see if it works for you?”
