Push yourself for a good cause. In aid of Shelter From The Storm.

We're closing Restore Wellness Week the best way we know how: together, for a good cause.
Join us at Manor SW1, the flagship gym at Thomas House, for a 10km team workout for Shelter from the Storm, open to every level. Finish the week strong, then stay for the good vibes and drinks.
With a DJ setting the pace, the energy will be high from the start. Once the challenge is done, the evening turns into a celebration, with food, drinks and music to round off four days of moving, learning and recharging across the Fora network.

The workout
In pairs, complete 10km between you. Run every leg together and split the machine distances however you like.

  • 900m run (3 laps of the yard)
  • 1,600m row
  • 900m run (3 laps of the yard)
  • 1,600m ski
  • 900m run (3 laps of the yard)
  • 3,200m bike
  • 900m run (3 laps of the yard)

How it works

Bring a colleague or friend to partner up with (you’ll both need to book) or come solo and we’ll find you a buddy on the day. Waves start every 15 minutes, and the order in which you begin will be set on the day. Before your wave starts, a coach will take you through every movement and show you the best way to perform it. There’s a time cap, but there’s no need to rush. So go at a pace that’s right for you and finish together.

Why we’re doing it

Every penny from every ticket sale goes to Shelter from the Storm, a London charity that runs a free emergency night shelter for people experiencing homelessness. It’s open every night of the year and receives no government funding, meaning your hardest hour this week will help keep their doors open.
