Double Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson CBE will lead sessions with personal trainers from his Daley Fitness gym in the morning, afternoon and evenings.
Personal trainer Sana Shirvani, aka ‘Sweat with Sana,’ will teach workouts involving a mix of cardio and strength training on Mondays and celebrity personal trainer and ex-military Stuart Amory, who has trained RAF troops, will teach home-based workouts on Tuesdays.
For the rest of the family there is Carl Tracy, AKA Mr. Move it!, who specialises in children's storytelling and fitness Mon-Fri and PE workouts with personal trainer and sports consultant Ross Hanbury on Wednesdays - watch out Joe Wicks!
Each Friday, Daley will be joined by a special guest who he'll put through their paces with a fitness class and interview, kicking off on June 5 with fellow Olympian Lord Coe.
All of the classes will also be available on demand so you can catch them at a time that suits you.
