At JaneyHFit, I bring my small group classes and nutrition coaching to the local community in and around Banbury. These are the a couple of the organisations that I supported in January 2026 and exciting news about what’s on in February.
Glebefields Care Home: Wellbeing Day
It was great working with the team at Glebefields and other local businesses to deliver this inspiring Health and Wellbeing event for the residents and our local community. The day was aimed at providing professional support and fitness guidance for 2026.
I ran a seated exercise class in the morning with bands, balls and upbeat music to get us all moving. As a level 4 personal trainer I understand how to work with clients with health conditions to design safe and effective workouts. This includes diabetes, obesity and joint pain. I’ve specialised in working with older adults including a spritely 85 year old!
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to nutrition, and I shared an insightful talk on healthy eating, providing practical tips for maintaining a balanced lifestyle. We had a fun, interactive quiz to discuss the ‘best’ breakfast options and how food choices tie into individual goals – or maybe you just like cornflakes.
Benazir, General Manager at Glebefields Care Home, said “It was a delight to see so many familiar and new faces from the Banbury community joining us. At Glebefields, we believe in supporting not just our residents, but our neighbours too. Having experts like Jane, Jo, and Kelly share their knowledge for free is exactly what community wellness is all about.”

Sunrise MultiCultural Project : Women Only Pilates
Following an introduction to the work that Sunrise Multicultural Project are involved with through the Women in Business Network (WIBN), I was excited to have the opportunity to deliver a block of 4 classes to the women’s group who meet at Ruscote Community Centre in Banbury.
We discussed the specific needs of the group and I designed a flow with mix of seated and standing exercises that are inspired by my mat Pilates training. The class included resistance bands and balls as well as classic movements, such as the one hundred, adapted to be performed in the chair.
This was a great to get people moving and a challenge for my skills to adapt for mixed ages, abilities and cultures. Lots of sharing and collaboration on social media to promote our offerings. Oh and there was tea, fruit and homecooked food afterwards too!
