In March, the Jodie Anne Fitness team took part in The Walk for Ukraine event. Organised by Sandbanks couple Rob and Giorgia Wylie, hundreds of people gathered to make the three-mile journey from Bournemouth Pier to Shore Road, Poole. This community-led charity walk was such a great way to get people together and support Ukraine. The money we helped to raise will go towards providing vital aid and support to those directly affected by the conflict.
Thank you to all those that donated & took part in the Jodie Anne Fitness team, you are greatly appreciated. In total, the event raised over £22,000! If you would like to support The Walk for Ukraine there is still time.

In March, Jodie Anne Fitness signed up to Cash for Kids UK which is an incredible charity that supports children and young people affected by poverty, abuse, neglect, life-limiting illness and those who have additional needs.
​
At the Jodie Anne Fitness Gym, we are now able to collect your unwanted clothes and donate them directly to Cash for Kids UK. So if you have any unwanted clothes please bag them up and bring them to your next gym session! For every tonne of clothing, we can help 11 children in need.
​
P.s. Big thanks to everyone that has donated so far, you are amazing!

In April, the Jodie Anne Fitness team came together to donate 76 Easter eggs for Hope for Food Bournemouth. Hope for Food is a local charity based in Bournemouth, set up and run entirely by volunteers. The organisation was founded by Claire Matthews in 2012 with the aim of providing life's basic essentials on a day to day basis to local people in need of help due to the current economic climate.
We hope that the Easter eggs we donated brought a little bit of happiness to the children they were gifted to this Easter. Every child deserves some Easter magic, even if that magic is a PT and her team dressed as the easter bunny!

In December, Jodie & a few others decided to challenge themselves to complete 1000 burpees to raise money for Cancer Research, a charity that means a lot to them all. Motivating each other to keep going they managed to complete the task within 30 days and they raised a whooping £500!
​
A very sweaty but fantastic way to raise money for charity! - 12 Hour spin next, who's in?!

In September, the Jodie Anne Fitness Gym & Studio officially OPENED! The Bournemouth Daily Echo came down to interview Jodie about her career so far & to get an idea of how her gym is so different from many others.
"A PERSONAL trainer who helps people find the fun in exercise has opened a gym in Poole. Jodie Nielsen, 24, has been a personal trainer since she was 17. She took a hiatus from her career to go travelling and later attend university, but invested in personal training full-time when demand for her services increased."
​
Jodie said: "I was self-employed and training a few people and then suddenly there was a boom in numbers. I was at university while I was doing personal training and I ended up working really long hours so I decided to leave university, with the aim of having my own gym. I didn’t think having my own gym would happen this quickly, it's all a bit surreal. The gym is very pink and very colourful, it’s covered in flowers. I’m a very bright person so I wanted it to be colourful."
​
The gym opened on 5th September 2021 and the launch party saw lots of friends, family and clients come together to celebrate the occasion. If you would like to read the full story head to www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/19606980.jodie-anne-fitness-studios-gym-opens-poole/
​
Hope to see you at the gym soon!
