FORTIS was launched at Watford Leisure Centre Woodside, operated by Everyone Active on behalf of Watford Borough Council, on Monday 17th January. Speedflex ambassador Alan Shearer attended the event to share his love for this amazing workout with local residents. 

FORTIS will offer the renowned Speedflex concept which delivers HIIT Without the Hurt. It’s an affordable, accessible and inclusive workout, where everyone from athletes to new exercisers can work-out to their maximum, in exactly the same class.

Self-confessed HIIT fan, Alan Shearer, attended the launch to showcase the power of HIIT workouts that are fun, effective and safe for all.

“I’m a huge fan of the Speedflex method, what I really love about it is that it doesn’t ache or hurt your body. Since retiring from football I’ve tried everything from running to weight sessions to keep in shape, but none of it has half the impact that Speedflex does. I’m supporting Speedflex and Everyone Active’s goal to create a fun workout programme for everyone in a fantastic environment. It’s suited to all ages whether you’re 51 like me or you’re 21, it’s great for anyone. I’m living proof that this 30-minute HIIT workout will leave you feeling good without the normal aches and pains of the gym. Sign up for your free class today!”

FORTIS is a 30 minute HIIT workout based around Speedflex’s unique personalised resistance concept, allowing every participant to train at their optimum level.  The studios also include FORTIS branded functional movement stations for unlimited variety of workouts. The workout is combined with MYZONE to provide members with live heart rate data and feedback on their effort level.

Everyone Active Contract Manager, Gary Foley said: “We can’t wait to unveil FORTIS to the local community. This is a really exciting and engaging workout. What we love about FORTIS is that everyone can train at their optimum level, regardless of age or ability, because of the technology of the Speedflex concept. We’re confident that our members will love it too and we look forward to welcoming lots of new and familiar faces to our launch.  There’s no better time than January to try out something new and to have Alan Shearer join us will certainly add some extra star quality to our studio.” 

Elected Mayor of Watford, Peter Taylor said: “This is a really exciting addition to our brand new centre, and will bring something different to the local community. It’s great to have a well-known ambassador like Alan Shearer backing this new work out programme, and we hope this will inspire even more people to get fit and healthy in the new year.”
