15 BMF Characters. Which One are You?!

All our BMF members are unique individuals and we don't like to generalise. That’s what makes park life so sociable and interesting. It's also why we provide adapted exercises and routines when necessary. We wouldn’t want it any other way. But are there some BMF characters common to all our parks? If so, which one are you?! And which is missing from this list?

Yogic Yolanda?

Yogic Yolanda - the one who can practically do the splits in the cool down, has a perfect manicure, colour-coordinated kit and carefully coiffured crop. She doesn’t even break into a sweat during an inter-park 'gun run'.

Keeno Clare or Kenny - the one who runs to their BMF class, checks their activity tracker eight times a session & runs home too ‘just to stretch off.’ If there are two sessions that day, they're at both.

Gassing Gwyneth - a chatty blue bib who’d be a red if she ever stopped talking. But thanks to her barn-storming banter, you laugh your way through every session and forget how much pain you’re in.

Dozy Dave or Donna - that person who turns right when you’re meant to turn left; gets into ranks when the instructor said files - there’s always one - and often gets distracted by Gassing Gwyneth!

Chilled out Charlie - the guy (usually) who wears a vest, shorts and no gloves even in February. Best mates with Goosebump Gavin and Freddie Frost-ripped-off-my-fingerprints!

Leg Day Leonard - the weightlifter who can’t find a bib big enough to fit. Can knock out gazillions of press ups and pick you up one-handed, but doesn’t look so chirpy during hill reps!

Cake-making Catherine - the talented baker who plies you all with home-made calories after class, just when your “won’t” power is at its weakest. Never seems to scoff one herself mind you & has the figure to prove it.

Competitive Colin - launches himself at every finish line like there’s a medal, a beer or a month's free membership at the end of it! Particularly vies with Knee-support Norman - a fellow red bib who hobbles around no matter how much his runner's knee is troubling him.

Profanity Paul or Prudence - the gutsy red bib who grits her teeth and gets through a circuit by letting slip some Fs with her Ps and Qs

Sicknote Sid – apparently has a doctor’s note saying he can’t do burpees or sit ups because of his bad back. Comes to BMF anyway and usually only mentions it in wet weather. Hangs out with......

Watch-less Walter - the guy who finds you all in the park, still clutching his keys, 10 minutes into your warm up. Traffic was bad apparently. Again.

Organised Olga - the mother-hen member who gently bosses you all around, suggesting Christmas do venues and making mini bus bookings to the next fun run.

Mysterious Martin – a fit newbie who came straight in as a red bib. Doesn’t talk much but you gather that he does the Fan Dance for fun once a month. Disappears for a bit. The next time you see him he’s wearing BMF Instructor's kit!

Leggy Lindsay - who lulls you into a false sense of security because you can keep up with her, but then she finds 5th gear and launches a sprint finish like something coming off a shovel.
