That’s what I want this club to be, for us all.

And how incredibly helpful it is to have people around you who cheer you on in that journey. Most of all, I created it because I know firsthand, through some tough experience, just how important it is for our mental and physical wellbeing to find the motivation to get up and move – even just a little, in whatever way works for you. I created Mardy Bum Active Club for so many reasons. If you join us at the Mardy Bum Active Club, you’ll be joining a group of normal people, with normal lives (with some normal crappy days included) BUT who know that with the right attitude and a bit of movement, you can bring a whole of positivity and ‘who cares!’ feel good attitude to life, and exercise. A recognition that we’re all human, we all have bad days – but that with a bit of positivity (and stubbornness!) those days don’t have to rule us. So, that’s exactly what the Mardy Bum Active Club is. It’s how we would playfully nudge someone out of their bad mood. You might be thinking, what on earth is a Mardy Bum club all about?! Well, I grew up in the Midlands, and ‘mardy bum’ is what me and my siblings would call each other when we were being grumpy. Hello! I’m Anna, founder of Mardy Bum Active Club.
