'What a fun way to exercise. Two hours went by in a flash. I'd like to do more!'

About us

Our unique approach is inspired by years of experience as award-winning physical performers, choreographers and movement teachers, having motivated countless people from all walks of life to learn physical - and performance skills they thought were beyond their capabilities.

We believe that it is vital for businesses, especially in the current economic climate, to promote creative thinking and enthusiasm in their employees. We also believe that in order to develop these qualities, the world of the performing arts can provide an ideal learning environment. Training as a performer or creating a performance, for example, develops a multitude of positive skills - effective teamwork and communication, confidence and lateral thinking, to name but a few.

We promote these skills by allowing people to step out of their working environment for a short while, and to challenge themselves in order to discover untapped talents that will benefit them in their working lives. H2B workshops offers a unique programme of exciting physical challenges, games and competitions, designed to:

-improve confidence in participants
-create powerful team-bonding experiences
-improve communication between team members
-promote a culture of cooperation
-increase physical fitness, posture and overall wellbeing
-promote creative thinking

Our programmes consist of an innovative combination of exercises and activities that physical performers regularly use in order to free their imagination, to develop their confidence and stage presence. H2B workshops’s workshops will provide stimulating and challenging opportunities for participants to work together as a team and solve creative problems in order to discover hidden strengths and talents. (Please see Team Building for details about all our workshops.)

Benefits to posture, health and overall wellbeing
Sitting behind a desk all day long generally has a detrimental effect on posture, resulting in back pain and muscular tension, and, crucially, reduced morale.
H2B offers unique workshops specifically address these issues through carefully selected physical activities, which are ‘disguised’ as games or tasks. Participants therefore get to exercise without even noticing.
Important information on correct standing and sitting posture and general injury prevention will be given throughout all our sessions. H2B workshops help to create smarter and fitter teams!
