  • Harpers Fitness welcomes its first triathlon trainee!

    26-May-09 Lord Butler Leisure Centre in Saffron Walden, Essex has really been noticing a change for the better in some of their members this year. Jason Talbot (39) from Saffron Walden joined Harpers back in February and has since had a complete lifestyle overhaul. Having lost over 3 stone since joining, he is now fighting fit, feeling healthier than ever and has set himself the ambition of a lifetime; to begin training for his first triathlon!

    Jason feels great and has discovered a new lust for life. He signed up for PT sessions as soon as he joined and his personal trainer has worked wonders. After weighing in at 18 stone Jason hardly recognised himself. He had a big stomach, double chin and felt sluggish and tired. He had no goals and life was passing him by.

    He looked around town for a gym that would be able to help him achieve what he wanted but wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Harpers offered all the luxuries of a big gym: sauna, spa, pool, group classes but at a price he could afford. After a month of really pushing himself on his overall workout as well as my body movement and balance Jason was shocked to learn he'd lost a stone!

    Mike, the Personal Trainer has been constantly striving to get the best and pushing Jason to reach his fitness goals. It was mentioned during a session that Jason could soon be scoring points in a triathlon with the progress he'd been making. The seed was planted and now Jason is hoping to enter the Saffron Walden triathlon in June!


    Harpers members can opt into the Harpers Experience for a cost of only £20. For this they’ll receive five sessions with a personal trainer at five different stages within the first 8 weeks of their membership. The sessions include a 45 minute induction personal training session, full body health check, movement analysis, a second personal training session and also a follow up about how the member can maintain their programme and new lifestyle.
