It’s fair to say that the goal of a workout and what athletes are striving to achieve has evolved over generations.
But now, one Manchester-based brand is ushering in “a new generation”.
The introduction of wearable technology has completely revolutionised the fitness world over the last decade or so by giving athletes access to a range of performance insights that were previously unavailable to them – but Prevayl is taking things to the next level.
Designed by experts, and already loved by big names such as athletics and cycling Paralympian Kadeena Cox, West Ham and England footballer Declan Rice, and Sky Sports presenter Josh Denzel, Prevayl has taken the world’s most-accurate wearable technology and fused it into premium sportswear.
The aim? Well, that’s simple – Prevayl is all about empowering you to “unlock your full potential”.

Based right here in Manchester city centre, Prevayl was founded by former personal trainer and now-CEO Adam Crofts, alongside serial entrepreneur and Chairman David Newns, and has since gone from strength to strength over the last year, establishing a unique ecosystem of products, including the Sensor, SmartWear, and the App, which all work together to deliver those key insights that help users achieve a new level of fitness.

Each of the Prevayl products are designed to “seamlessly integrate” with one another.
The Sensor is the lightest fitness tracking device in its class, and tracks heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, and body movement to help users make “smartest fitness decisions”, while the App captures over a million data points during each workout and turns them into “meaningful and actionable” insights.
Prevayl’s mission is to deliver real-time insights right to the user’s fingertips so they can get to know their bodies, track their performance, stay accountable, celebrate their achievements, and ultimately, make every workout count.

But none of this would be possible without the groundbreaking Prevayl product – SmartWear™.

SmartWear melds premium sportswear with cutting-edge biometric technology to give everyone, at any stage in a fitness journey, the chance to achieve their personal best.
The four-piece SmartWear collection is crafted in a second-skin fit and made of the most durable, lightweight, and breathable materials to ensure maximum comfort and movement, and features adjustable sports bras, short and long sleeve t-shirts, and tank tops that all have a discreet pocket for housing the Prevayl Sensor.
All the items have what are called knitted electrodes embedded into them, which take the most accurate Electrocardiogram readings directly from the wearer’s heart, and eliminate the need for wires and straps to create comfortable durable garments enhanced with the latest technology.
“Our mission at Prevayl is to empower people with the tools to get the most out of their workouts and achieve their fitness goals by combining premium fashion with the latest technology,” said founder at CEO, Adam Crofts.

“Prevayl SmartWear™ is more than just simple clothing.
“It’s the next generation of sportswear that is encoded with intelligence to help people level-up their workouts – all whilst looking and feeling great.”
Speaking of the collection’s design-led aesthetic, Prevayl’s Creative Director Kate Kallaway added: “The design team at Prevayl have created a new age of activewear, leading with smart, innovative apparel design enabling you to connect through style and accuracy.
“I’m proud to be building and leading the team to bring a new, progressive activewear brand to the consumer market.”

The rapid growth of Prevayl doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon either, as with a wealth of new ideas and developments already in the works, the future looks bright.

Prevayl’s founders have particularly pointed to their ambitions to grow the Prevayl community, with the App soon to provide users with a meeting place where they can share health and fitness tips, ask each other questions, connect with like-minded individuals, and essentially, guide one another to athletic excellence.
Six By Nico launches tasting menu inspired by Christmas dinner
Daisy Jackson
Everyone’s favourite affordable tasting menu restaurant, Six By Nico, has announced its first-ever festive Sunday roast menu.
The beloved restaurant group, which now has two locations in Manchester, is famed for serving creative and interesting tasting menus, but at a much more accessible price than other fine dining establishments – just £44 a head.
Then you can add on extra snacks, perfectly-paired wine flights, and even matching cocktails.
At Six By Nico, the inspiration is always changing, whether the menus bring a sense of nostalgia, memories of a much-loved book or film, or whisk you away across the globe with dishes inspired by another country’s cuisine.
Previous menus have included The Chippy Tea, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
Six By Nico switches up its six-course tasting menus every six weeks, keeping customers coming back time and time again for the next adventurous experience.
And one of the best things is the flexibility that these tasting menus have, catering for vegans, veggies, pescatarians and more. You can even mix and match courses across tasting menus to suit your mood and dietary requirements.

The next menu that has had us clicking ‘book’ at the speed of light is Six By Nico’s first-ever Festive Sunday Roast menu, with six courses and a cocktail pairing.
The new Six By Nico tasting menu features all the flavours of Christmas Day, presented in creative and exciting ways.
For example, your evening will begin with ‘Pigs in Blankets’ (pork pressé, Sauerkraut, burnt onion and grain mustard), as well as a Brussels Sprouts-inspired course that used barbecue hispi cabbage, aged ewe’s cheese, pickled mushrooms and black garlic emulsion.
For the main event it’s the Three Bird Roast – duck, chicken and turkey ballotine, liver parfait, honey glazed carrot and Madeira jus.
And you’d be remiss not to add the Ultimate Yorkshire Pudding on as an extra, made with pork and sage stuffing and sauce charcuterie.

Course five is Baked Brie De Meaux, homemade mince pie and Peckhams pear, then to finish Six By Nico has Chocolate Profiteroles, Tahitian vanilla Choux au Craquelin, chocolate Cremeux, buttermilk sorbet and dulce de leche.
In a second brand-first, Six by Nico Manchester has created a perfectly matched cocktail pairing to accompany the six-course tasting menu (£40pp) which includes six cocktails including an Apple and Dill Martini.
It’s just another example of the way Six By Nico keeps pushing the game forward.
Andrew Temple, Chief Creative Officer, spoke of the menu’s festive twist: “The response to our Sunday Roast menu has been incredible, and we wanted to capture that excitement in a way that complements the holiday season.
“Extending the Sunday Roast with a festive version not only celebrates the British classic but adds a layer of excitement in the build up to the Festive season.
“We’re looking forward to sharing this seasonal reimagining with our guests, bringing them both the comfort and joy of the festive period.”
The Festive Sunday Roast is £44 per person, with an additional wine pairing available for £30, or a matched cocktail pairing for £40. It’s available to book every Sunday from 24 November until 5 January HERE.
