group of kids at a gym class

ION Llanishen is Cardiff’s top spot for strength and conditioning, offering structured programming and a variety of fun classes for everyone.

Robin Sowden-Taylor, the Owner and Coach at ION Llanishen, is passionate about making sure kids stay active and enjoy sports, especially during the summer holidays. Robin is offering some free summer sessions at ION Llanishen and in the local area. Here at Hafod, we’re excited to support ION by funding some of their fantastic classes.
 
Sadly, child obesity and depression rates are higher than ever, largely due to too much screen time and not enough physical activity during school terms and holidays.
 
Robin shared his thoughts:
 
“I’m incredibly grateful that exercise and sport have always been a huge part of my life since I was young. They’ve shaped who I am and prepared me for life’s challenges. As we kick off our ION Summer Athletic Development Camps for kids aged 7 to 16, I’ve been reflecting on how important exercise and sport were for me growing up and why I believe they should be a top priority for every child.”
