Last night, we produced May's AFT Live Panel Webinar for Adaptive Fitness Training, and it was wonderful.

Nutrition Therapy for Neurorehabilitation and Exercise brought together Dr Kirstie Lawton and Melody Mackeown for a session that covered ground most fitness professionals never ...get to explore. What drives neurodegeneration, the remarkable science linking environmental toxins to Parkinson's, the gut-brain connection, practical foundations for working with neurological clients, and a real (anonymised) case study showing what proper nutritional support alongside exercise can actually achieve.

If you're a fitness or rehabilitation professional, July's session is already open for registration.

More Than Mechanics: A Fitness Professional's Guide to Lower Limb Amputee Training, with Clinical Lead Prosthetist Katy McIntosh, is on the 30th July at 7:30pm, and it's free to attend.

Yesterday, Tom and Ali delivered the final workshops of our 2025–2026 programme with Blaenau Gwent Council's BG STEM Project - and what a lovely way to finish! 🎮

They returned to St. Illtyd's Primary School, one of the very first schools visited when this incredible ...programme began last Autumn, working with Years 5 and 6 to build top-down adventure and space games, complete with their own pixel-art characters and graphics.

Throughout the year, Tom and Ali visited almost all 29 schools in the region, working with nearly 1,300 pupils. The feedback has been amazing - one teacher told us it was "a real delight to see some of my typically disengaged learners come to life," and another said their pupils were so proud of what they'd built that the school held a dedicated family session so they could share their games. 🧡

And the adventure isn't over - we're absolutely thrilled to be returning to Blaenau Gwent in the Autumn for the 2026–2027 academic year. A huge thank you to Hayley Boulton and the entire BG STEM Project team for making it all possible.

Episode 3 of Shaking It Up with Parkinson's is out now, and it's another brilliant one! 🎙️

Hosts Maria Lewis (@reachyourpeakonline) and Vicky Rees-Davies (@the_fitness_mum) are joined by Jordi Cruz (@dreamingawakeproject), a physiotherapist and paraclimbing competitor who ...was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's at 39 and hasn't stopped climbing since, and Natalia Kaminska (from nl.neurorehab), a specialist neurological physiotherapist running climbing sessions for people with Parkinson's in Bradford and Leeds. Together, they explore why climbing could be one of the most effective and joyful exercises available for people living with the condition.

From velocity training and bradykinesia research, to a 75-year-old climbing for the first time and crying with pride, this episode is warm, fascinating and moving, not to mention inspirational.

Huge thanks to Jordi, Natalia, Maria and Vicky, and to @parkinsonsuk for powering the show. ✨

🎧 Episode 3 is available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube Music.

Something a little different is coming to our screens on 21st May. 🧠🥦

We're producing a live panel webinar on YouTube Live that asks: what if the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the health of our gut could be driving neurodegeneration, and what if changing them could help ...reverse it?

For the team at Adaptive Fitness Training, every webinar is about putting world-class specialist knowledge directly into the hands of fitness and rehabilitation professionals. This one is no exception.

We're bringing together Dr Kirstie Lawton, PhD and Melody Mackeown, two leading nutritional therapy specialists, for a live, interactive session on nutritional therapy, functional medicine, and neurological health.

Free to attend. 0.5 CIMSPA CPD points up for grabs. Real-time Q&A throughout.

If you work with clients living with neurological conditions, this one is worth your Thursday evening.

📅 Thursday 21st May, 7:30 PM, YouTube Live

We're so excited to announce that we'll be returning to Blaenau Gwent for the 2026-2027 academic year, continuing our partnership with the @bgstemproject to deliver coding workshops across all schools in the region!

The 2025-2026 programme was one of the most rewarding years ...we've had. We heard from teachers across the region about pupils who couldn't stop talking about their games, children logging back on at home to keep building, and schools holding family sessions so pupils could share what they'd created. It's been brilliant.

We're incredibly grateful to Hayley Boulton and the BG STEM Project team for making it all possible - and we can't wait to meet a whole new year of budding game creators this autumn.

A fun but slightly stressful evening last night. 😅

We've been producing live, interactive virtual events since the start of the pandemic - almost 400 of them now for clients including TeenTech, AstroAgency, Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub, Ultimate Activity Camps, and ...more.

Last night, for the first time ever, we lost internet connectivity in our studio, about 30 minutes before we were due to go live with April's Adaptive Fitness Training Live Panel Webinar. We have a 5G backup solution, but that's really there as a mid-stream safety net - not something we'd want to run an entire event over.

So we did what any self-respecting agency would do: relocated to a family member's house and ran the event from there (thanks, Mum and Dad!).

The event went off without a hitch, and we don't think the audience noticed a thing.

And what an event it was. Focused on Neuroplasticity in Parkinson's, the conversation was incredible, with almost 100 fitness professionals joining the live stream. Maria Lewis and Vicky Rees-Davies were wonderful guests, and the evening had such a lovely sense of community.

Audience feedback said it all: 'Very informative and inspiring', 'Fabulous information and discussion', 'Great webinar — I shall be listening to the podcast'.

May's event is already open for registrations 👇

In nearly 400 events, last night was the first time we've had a connectivity issue in the studio. We had a plan, we moved fast, and the show went on. That's just what we do. 🎉

This week, Ali delivered the Computer Animation Masterclass Live as part of TeenTech's Creativity Inside programme. 🎬✨

Students were joined by Sofia Llobregat Garcia from Framestore, one of the world's leading visual effects studios, who discussed her role as a professional ...animator and what a career in the industry looks like, answering student questions - live.

Ali then ran a hands-on Blender demo, starting with the connection between stop-motion and computer animation, before showing students how keyframes and interpolation work by building a bouncing ball complete with squash and stretch. From keyframes, Blender fills in everything in between.

Creativity Inside is a creative digital programme from TeenTech, supported by the Amazon Regional Creative Fund, giving UK secondary students real experience of careers in gaming, film, TV, advertising, music, and fashion.

If you're a teacher or know a school that would benefit, playback links are available on the TeenTech website.

Tom's been out and about in Bristol today! 📸

We offer all our nursery school clients a complimentary photography day each year to keep their website imagery feeling fresh and current - and today it's Filton Avenue Nursery School's turn. Tom has a background in early ...years education, so it's fair to say he loves these days! 🧡

We're proud to design, develop and maintain websites for 11 of Bristol's 12 maintained nursery schools. We absolutely love being able to support them all, helping them communicate with their families and raise their profile within their communities.

This morning we delivered our Stop-Frame Animation Masterclass as part of TeenTech's Creativity Inside: Digital Media Programme! 🎬

Students from across the UK got hands-on with claymation, learning how to bring characters to life one frame at a time using Stop Motion Studio. We ...covered the full process - from shooting and editing to adding visual effects - plus the session featured an interview with a professional animator and visual effects artist, giving students a real taste of what a career in animation looks like.

Missed it? The session is available to watch back now. We're so proud to be supporting TeenTech with these Masterclass Live sessions - part of the Creativity Inside programme, backed by the Amazon Regional Creative Fund, and free for schools across the UK.
