Getting a racquet restring is easy at BLTSC and you don’t have to be a member!

Tennis squash and racketball racquets can be left behind the bar with a simple booking form. Our stringer, Anthony Smith, collects on Tuesday evening and returns on Thursday evening, or he’ll pick up on Thursday evening and return on Tuesday evening.

Anthony has been stringing racquets for 20 years, previously in his sports shop (Jolly Good Sports, Petts Wood) and latterly as a dedicated Racquet Stringer in Kent and London. His business is Local Racquet Stringer- L.R.S. (see link below), he offers a wide range of strings and is always available to provide informed advice for those who not sure what tension or string will suit them and/ or their racquet frame. He has built his extensive racquet restring knowledge from client feedback ranging from professional competitors to the social club player. Every racket that is booked into LRS is strung by Anthony.

L.R.S. also offer City & Canary Wharf pick up and drops offs, the full range of services can be found via the LRS website.

The core HIIT session varies between 18 and 25 minutes only, so with a warm up and cool down Mick Jones (aka METAFIT with Mick), our instructor, will make sure you’re all done in about 45mins AND it’s not choreographed – so no dancing routines to worry about!

Is it for me?
Definitely: METAFIT is suitable for all levels of fitness – the focus is to get the movements right, then work as hard as you are able.
So, it’s about quality not quantity…. You are only competing against yourself, nobody else – simples!

Sounds tough…!
Yes it is .. You’ll work the whole body and major muscle groups in short bursts to build your body’s endurance, power and efficiency.
The METAFIT workout increases your resting metabolic rate so your body continues to get the benefits for up to 24 hours after the class has finished.

What do I need to bring?
Yourself and a water bottle (small towel optional for the sweaty ones), mats will be provided.

When and where?
Sessions at BLTSC are at 7.30- 8.15pm on Wednesdays and take place on Squash court 1
METAFIT with Mick runs alternative sessions during the week at other venues

Okay, I’ll give it a go, what do I do?
Contact METAFIT with Mick (below) and book a place at one of the sessions. It’s only £6 per session and you don’t have to be a BLTSC member.
