Fitness, Faith and Fellowship is a mens fitness group that meets twice a week.  We are led by a highly qualified coach with the aim of developing our strength and overall fitness.  The classes are small so the coach can give individual guidance and scale activities for both beginners and those with more experience.  The sessions are fun and non-threatening - the perfect environment for fellowship with others with a Christian faith.
