It also features a variety of high-intensity classes, including Hyrox training, along with Pilates and yoga. Tech is being used by the team at Zone 4 to provide members a tailored experience to help them reach their goals, with some of the classes involving the use of heart-rate monitors. Live data is displayed on studio screens which enables trainers to provide guidance based on each individual's intensity levels. As well as the use of MyZone heart rate monitors and body analysis tools, one of the most unique features of Zone 4 is their dedicated indoor sauna and ice bath room.

"We're not the kind of gym you dread going to at 6am. "Instead of thinking, 'Ugh, I have to go to the gym,' we want people to feel like, 'This is somewhere I want to go.' A number of classes take place at Zone 4. (Image: Zone 4) 'It is a place with a high quality finish that makes you want to spend more time here.' Much investment has also put into the studio's changing room and shower area which sits on the top floor. Members can make use of the lockers provided and use the dressing area complete with Dyson hairdryers and large mirrors. (Image : Zone 4)When designing the gym, Max envisioned an on site coffee shop that would serve both its members as well as local residents. Flint is the studio's in house coffee shop, which is open every day. Max said: 'We've got about 15 seats out here, which we will slowly be increasing. 'When the sun's out and the music's on in the gym, it's a nice place to relax as we are set back from the road." Flint is the fitness studios in house coffee shop.

Alert rickshaw driver, swift police coordination helped trace kidnapped 4-year-old girl in 24 hrs
THANE: In a dramatic rescue operation spanning two states, a four-year-old girl abducted from a construction site in Badlapur West on Tuesday afternoon was safely traced and rescued within 24 hours from a remote village in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district. Alert rickshaw driver, swift police coordination helped trace kidnapped 4-year-old girl in 24 hrs The child, who lived at the site with her parents and two siblings, was lured away while her mother was at work. The family, originally from another state, resides at the site where her father and uncle are employed as labourers. Her mother works as a domestic help in the locality. According to police officials, the accused—identified as 26-year-old Ranjeet Dhurve—had visited the construction site late Monday night, asking for work. Turned away by the site supervisor, he approached the girl's mother requesting food. She refused, citing lack of resources, leading to a brief argument between them. The next afternoon, taking advantage of the child being alone, Dhurve allegedly lured her with chocolates and took her to a nearby rickshaw stand. A labourer at the site had seen him walking away with the girl, but accepted the explanation that he would return shortly after buying her sweets. Fortunately, rickshaw driver Yogesh Chonkar, who was approached by Dhurve for a ride to Badlapur station, grew suspicious. 'He was clutching the girl's hand tightly, and she was pleading in Hindi to be let go,' Chonkar told the police. When questioned, Dhurve claimed the girl was his daughter and was simply scared to travel by rickshaw. Chonkar offered the child biscuits and managed to discreetly take photographs of both before the man asked to be dropped at Kalyan station instead—offering extra money. Chonkar declined but suggested he take a train, and used the opportunity to capture more photos while Dhurve was distracted. Uncertain about what he had witnessed, Chonkar shared his concerns with friends. Later that evening, when the child's mother returned around 4 pm and found her missing, she rushed to the Badlapur West police station and lodged a complaint. Senior police inspector K Thorve said the police acted immediately, circulating the child's details through inter-departmental networks. Within minutes, Chonkar came forward with the photographs he had taken. Multiple police teams were dispatched to Kalyan station and other major transit points, while long-distance trains were monitored. Deputy commissioners of police Sachin Gore (Zone 4) and Amarsinh Jadhav (Crime Branch) led parallel efforts to trace the suspect. CCTV footage from Kalyan station confirmed the presence of Dhurve and the child, though the train they boarded could not be identified. Another team began tracing Dhurve's background. A local villager from Badlapur East identified the suspect as a native of Mordongri village in Madhya Pradesh. With this lead, Senior PI Ashok Koli of Ulhasnagar Crime Branch coordinated with police stations in Ambernath, Badlapur and Kalyan, ensuring swift inter-agency communication. Thane Crime Branch alerted the MP police and local authorities in Mordongri, who, with help from the village sarpanch and residents, tracked down Dhurve. He had reportedly left the girl in his sister's care and was preparing to flee when the police apprehended him. The child was rescued unharmed. After a medical examination and counselling by a child welfare team, the girl was reunited with her family. A Thane police team later brought both the accused and the rescued child back to Maharashtra. Dhurve has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for kidnapping and wrongful confinement, as well as provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. He has been remanded in police custody. Officials are also investigating whether he has a criminal past or links to other such incidents.

Dungeness crab fishery closing south of Pigeon Point on April 15 to protect whales
In an effort to protect humpback whales from becoming entangled in fishing gear, state officials on Thursday announced that commercial Dungeness crab fishing would be closed later this month along the California coast south of San Mateo County. When the whales, which are now returning to forage off California coasts, become entangled in crab fishing gear that can hinder their ability to swim and feed. Dragging gear can result in injuries, drowning and starvation, according to wildlife officials. As of 6 p.m. on April 15, commercial crab fishing will be closed in California's Fishing Zones 4, 5 and 6, from Pigeon Point in San Mateo County to the U.S./Mexico border, California Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton H. Bonham announced Thursday. In addition, a recreational crab trap restriction will be implemented in Fishing Zone 4, from Pigeon Point to Lopez Point in Monterey County. Along the coast north of Pigeon Point to the California/Oregon border, covered by Fishing Zones 1, 2, and 3, commercial fishing for crab will remain open under existing trap reductions. Ben Grundy, oceans campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity, called for California's crab fishing season to close, saying the risk is too high for whales, whose movements are unpredictable. "With more humpbacks coming back to the area, it's time to close the crab fishing season. Entanglement risk is high and an already-entangled humpback was just spotted carrying yet another set of Dungeness gear," Grundy said. He urged more testing of pop-up gear that uses less rope, allowing traps to sit on the ocean floor until fishermen come to retrieve them. "Now is the time to test and use pop-up gear that lets fishers stay on the water while still protecting whales. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this spring's trials and hope the state is on the cusp of authorizing pop-up gear for the entire season."
