There has always been a disconnect between how fitness is taught in schools and how it exists outside of them. In one setting it feels like routine. In the other it carries structure, competition, and a clear sense of progression. DEKA is now moving to close that gap by bringing a fully formed competitive format directly into the school environment. Built from the same foundation as Spartan, DEKA is introducing its youth programme to the UK through a partnership with EXCLSR.

There are endurance events, and then there are events that strip endurance back to its core. World's Toughest Mudder belongs firmly in the latter. Returning to the UK for only the second time, the 24-hour challenge takes over Belvoir Castle on 27 and 28 June 2026, turning one of the country’s most composed landscapes into something far less forgiving. For a full day and night, the course becomes a constant loop of pressure, where progress is measured not in moments, but in ho

Now that spring has finally arrived, it brings with it the return of daffodils, easter eggs, but also sadly, hayfever. Also known as allergic rhinitis, hayfever is an allergic reaction that impacts  one in four adults in the UK. It occurs when the immune system overreacts to substances in the air, such as pollen, pet dander and dust.  With the Met Office  launching its first five-day pollen forecast of the year on the 19th of March, hayfever season is officially underway. Sea

Dr Rana Al-Falaki is not interested in telling you to work harder. She is far more concerned with why you are working the way you are in the first place, and whether that approach is actually built to last. In a landscape saturated with leadership books that reward intensity above all else, Nail It: Leadership – Your Blueprint to Optimal Performance  positions itself with a different kind of authority. It does not reject ambition, nor does it dilute it. Instead, it challenges

This March, National Fragrance Week returns with a programme designed to celebrate the UK’s growing influence in global fragrance culture. While much of the week brings together industry professionals, a series of public talks and panels will open the conversation to a wider audience, offering rare insight into the craft, psychology and future of scent. Hosted across a day of discussions on 18 March, the sessions explore fragrance from multiple perspectives, from artistic col

In a market that thrives on volume, exaggeration and endless reinvention, Men From Mars has chosen a different route. Founded by Aaron and Jason, the brand feels less like a response to trends and more like a considered correction to them. There is no shouting for attention, no exaggerated promises, no attempt to tell men who they should be. Instead, Men From Mars operates with a rare sense of restraint, built on clarity, trust and a belief that men deserve to be spoken to wi

Dr Aditi Bhalla’s professional life has been shaped by two disciplines that demand precision, trust and deep human understanding. Trained first as a dentist, her career began within the structured and exacting world of clinical practice, where responsibility, regulation and patient welfare are non-negotiable. It is this foundation that continues to define her work, even as her practice has expanded beyond dentistry into the fields of mental wellbeing, psychotherapy and profes

January is testing the nation’s health as much as its patience. Winter illnesses are surging, GP waiting times are stretching longer, and hospitals across the country are operating under intense pressure. In response, Superdrug has announced a significant intervention designed to help people understand their health without adding further strain to frontline services. This month, Superdrug is giving away more than one million pounds worth of free at home Health MOT kits, allow

Few modern founders speak about reinvention with the credibility of Charles Mills. Once known for his reality television days and a life lived loudly in the public eye, Mills has since stepped away from visibility as identity and rebuilt himself with a level of clarity that cannot be manufactured. Today, as the founder of GELIDA, he represents a different kind of success. One rooted in calm discipline, longevity and responsibility. This conversation is not about reinvention a

January invites restraint. Plates shrink, menus simplify, and pleasure is often the first thing to be edited out. But this winter, Los Mochis  is taking a more generous view of wellness. One that believes nourishment should be vibrant, flavour led and deeply satisfying. Throughout the month, Los Mochis London City and Los Mochis Notting Hill partner with food author and wellbeing advocate Melissa Hemsley to present Nourished by Los Mochis , a carefully considered menu edit th

January has a particular way of draining energy. The festivities fade, daylight shortens, and motivation slips. This winter, a quarter of Brits admit to feeling at their lowest during the first month of the year, citing low mood, irritability and fatigue. With Blue Monday approaching, many are searching for ways to feel better without forcing themselves into punishing gym routines or cold evening runs. The answer, it seems, may lie somewhere far more playful. Across London, i

Dr Rana Al Falaki returns to Hinton Magazine with the same unmistakable clarity and presence that defined our last conversation, yet this time there is a new energy about her. A year of relentless movement has reshaped her world. She has launched a national wellbeing platform for the entire dental profession, created the NAIL IT podcast and transformational events, built programmes that are already changing leadership culture, and stepped onto stages across the country speaki

Every so often a new voice cuts through the noise of the skincare industry. Not through celebrity gloss or influencer hype, but with honesty, clarity, and lived experience. For Oliver, founder of Monderma, that voice was born from frustration. His story begins in Brazil, where an encounter with tretinoin changed everything. That first swipe of a prescription cream became a turning point: clearer skin, renewed confidence, and a belief that access to effective skincare should n

Indulgence has become a complicated word in modern wellness. It carries a sense of excess, temptation and guilt, as if enjoyment needs to be earned. In the final week of our four part series with nutritional therapist and author Clemmie Pellew Harvey, we strip that word back to what it truly means. Joy. Permission. Pleasure without apology. Clemmie’s approach to indulgence is refreshingly human. She understands that a healthy life is not built on restriction but on balance an

Children rarely use words to express what they need at the table. Instead, they communicate through tiny decisions that parents often misinterpret as defiance, fussiness or frustration. In the third week of our four part series with nutritional therapist and author Clemmie Pellew Harvey, we explore the quiet, emotional language of little appetites and the beliefs shaping the way children learn to eat. This is the heart of Clemmie’s work. She understands that mealtimes are not
