As 2025 draws to a close, we would like to thank our clients and colleagues for another fantastic year at Bridge Health & Wellbeing.
We have been delighted to welcome several new team members over the past 12 months, including Strength & Conditioning coach Annabel Fairhead and Yoga Instructor Gail Taylor.

During the year, we held several events, including our Spring into Wellness event and free talks on Hip Pain, Knee Pain, Lower Back Pain, and Women’s Pelvic Health. Thank you to everyone who came along to the events, which were all well attended.

We continued to support local charity CHILL Dorset, and we were thrilled that our Beach Pilates and Sea Dip fundraising event on Avon Beach in July raised over £750 for this fantastic charity. Our in-house team did another amazing job in the Bournemouth Race for Life. Over the past three years, we have now raised over £2,000 for Cancer Research UK to help save lives.

We were delighted to win Gold in the Health, Beauty & Wellbeing category of the Christchurch Business Awards 2025 and the BCP Business Awards 2025. We also reached over 150 five-star reviews on Google which is amazing!

Now, we prepare to take a break and spend time with our families over Christmas.
The Studio Christmas break is from Monday 22nd December to Sunday 4th January.
Classes will resume on Monday, 5th January 2026. The new 2026 studio timetable is confirmed, and classes are available to book. Please always check your class bookings. If you are set up for recurring bookings, they will continue into the New Year, but please do check to make sure you are booked in.
