At Topnotch Gyms, we believe that high performance is not just about the numbers on a lifting platform; it is about the consistency of your routine and the strength of the community supporting you. As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2026, we are moving with a mindset of generosity, collaboration, and professional expertise.

Precision and Progress

‍

This month is an opportunity to reflect on your personal wins and the "why" that drives your training. Whether you are refining your technique in a Soho Reformer session or building power in our free-weights areas, your progress is a testament to your dedication. We are here to provide the environment you need to focus entirely on your goals.

Wisdom from the Topnotch Community

‍

We spoke with the women leading our clubs, Olivia Fletcher, Lee Lu, and Melissa, about what it means to train with purpose and resilience. Here are the key insights from their professional journeys:

• Build the Body You Want | "If it’s an appearance-based goal they are working towards that we have to build the body we want, and that needs weight training along with other forms of exercise as well." — Olivia Fletcher

• The Power of Play | "I’ve started to train with a mindset of let's go play, let's move my body and see what happens. I achieved every goal I set 4 years ago but because of pressure of having to beat everyone and be the best I never got it. Until I let go and just had fun." — Lee Lu

• Precision and Mental Health | "Reformer Pilates is like meditation but instead of clearing your mind completely you’re focussed on the movements and the feeling. It clears your head and relieves stress incredibly well!" — Melissa

• Listen to the Fatigue | "A red flag for me would have to be getting 1 or 2 exercises into a session and the fatigue already hitting. If I’m not mentally there and not even my music can get me through, then it's time to take a rest." — Olivia Fletcher

• Be Kind to Yourself | "One or two sessions a week can be more beneficial than five sessions that might be forced or stress you out. Embrace our bodies as strong and powerful and fit, instead of an image social media dictates on us." — Lee Lu

• Burnout is Not a Goal | "Exhaustion isn’t cute. I have to remind myself on a regular basis to book time off and TLC. If I know it’s booked in, then it’s happening 100%. I want to practise what I preach!" — Melissa

Expertise at the Heart of the Club

‍

Our teams are led by women who understand that true strength is built from the inside out. From Worcester Assistant Manager, Olivia Fletcher’s focus on debunking myths in the weights room to the "zen" and core stability taught in our studios, our instructors are here to provide the guidance that elevates your routine. They are the professional voices that push us to do more and move better.

High performance thrives in a space where you feel confident and supported. We are dedicated to maintaining a training environment that prioritises focus and mental recovery.
