To coincide with the Wimbledon Championships, APPI is offering a 30% discount on all their services to new clients from 16 June to 16 July 2017. Services include physiotherapy, pilates, sports massage, acupuncture and many more.
We now have 12 Common Runners signed up for the London Bridge-d running tour!
On Friday 9 June @ 9.30am, we are going on a 10k running/walking tour to explore the City of London, the original Roman settlement and home of St Paul’s Cathedral and Southwark that boasts Shakespeare’s globe, Borough Market and much more.
On the tour there will be scandals and secrets a-plenty revealed at each of the 10 stops. The tour will be followed by a well deserved coffee and cake at a special location. All abilities are catered for but you must be comfortable running at least 5k.
This tour looks fabulous! The cost of the running/walking tour plus coffee/tea & cake after is £24. If you haven’t signed up yet but would like to attend please let me know.
Final numbers and payment will be required by mid-May as the required number of guides will have to be booked. At this point I’m afraid that there will be no refunds.
To celebrate International Pilates Day on Saturday 6 May, APPI are offering free massage, physio and ultrasound assessments and classes, but you need to book early to avoid disappointment!

Running courses finish at the end of March and new ones start week beginning 17 April 2017 – enjoy the break!

On Friday 10 March 2017 @ 9.30am, we are going on a Royal Parks Adventure Run to discover some new and forgotten gems in Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park. The run will be followed by coffee & cake at a local cafe, an absolute must to recharge our batteries before heading home.
The run starts from and finishes in Kensington Gardens, near High St Kensington station. The run takes about 2 hours and briefly stops at a number of places of interest/views along the way. The distance covered is about 9k which can be run or combined with walking. In other words, all levels are catered for.
The cost of the run plus coffee/tea & cake after is £22.

A Christmas celebration with a difference…
On Tuesday 29 November @ 7pm, we’re organising a Christmas ‘photo scavenger hunt run’ around Wimbledon Village to discover some fun and interesting sights! The run will be followed by drinks and canapes at the Dog & Fox pub, a must to recharge the batteries and to celebrate a year of running!
Our Christmas ‘photo scavenger hunt run’ starts outside Sweaty Betty and finishes at the Dog & Fox pub in Wimbledon Village. You will be divided into teams of varying speeds/abilities, given a list of places/items to find and
photograph with all team members before heading back to the pub by 8pm. The team with the most photos will win the hunt and a prize!
The Mezzanine area in the Dog & Fox pub has been reserved for us and Prosecco, soft drinks and canapes will be pre-ordered so that everything is ready for us after the run. The cost of the refreshments is £26 per person (based on 20 people attending) and gives you two glasses of Prosecco/soft drinks and a selection of canapes.
We hope that you can make the run and drinks!
