August Adventures at HQ 2

Lucy Thomson. 21 August 2026

And just like that, the summer holidays come to an end ☀️ Back to school, back to routines and, for many of us, back to trying to remember what day of the week it is.

A huge thank you to everyone who still made exercise a part of their summer. We know how much of a juggle these weeks can be work, childcare, holidays, days out and everything else that life brings during what can be a very fast paced season. 

Our little kids’ room has definitely earned its keep this summer too. It’s been so lovely being able to give your little people somewhere to hang out while you train, and hopefully make getting a session in that wee bit easier. 

This week has also brought some pretty big milestones for lots of our HQ families  little ones starting nursery, Primary 1 and secondary school, and some not so little ones finishing education or getting ready for university. 

A big week all round 🤍 And if you’re looking back at the summer thinking you didn’t train quite as much as you’d planned, you haven’t failed. Maybe you just enjoyed a little more downtime, holidays, family time and everything else that exists outside our four walls. 

HQ will still be here when you’re ready to find your routine again. We’re so grateful to have seen so many of you throughout the summer and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back into a little more normality over the next few weeks. And before August disappears completely… our HQ Pub Quiz is next Friday, 28th August. If your August has been feeling a little beige, come and let us brighten it up with a good laugh, questionable general knowledge and probably some even more questionable HQ trivia

Have a lovely weekend, team 🤍
