July – when did half the year go by? While sat writing this over a cup of coffee with my new back door open, I have just taken a moment to look back over the first 6 months of the year, and what I have achieved, the list is endless and I am hoping to keep the momentum going through the rest of the year. Lots of the moves that we use to get our gymnasts in tip top shape are crossing over into our adult fitness classes, so you are getting a championship workout!
Along with some amazing positive moments, I have also had some times of high stress and have really needed our fitness classes to keep some kind of sanity on my life. Talking to lots of you, there appears to be many of you going through some serious stress, and what I feel is really good is that you are using our fitness classes to help deal with the mental, physical and emotional reactions to pressure and stress.

If you have fallen off the wagon with your classes, get yourself back, we would love to see you, and help you get your mojo back. We are seeing some girls who for one reason or another have missed classes for a long time, and its great to have them back where they belong 


Client of the month – Well the hero for June is definitely Rachel Holland, Who did wed, Thursday and Friday morning in a row, and didn’t cry, seemed to enjoy herself really. It was a great mix of classes to do, in 3 days Rachel had a great body changing workout.

Class of the Month – THAT Friday class, when Sonia happily said “do something different” So I did! Lots of new ideas came flowing out of my brain, for putting a twist into traditional Pilates exercises and making them extra effective. I love my Friday girls xxx

Move of the Month – This month is the variations we are doing on the Pilates 100, in all the classes. This move is adaptable for all fitness levels and I am really getting to focus on abs this month. Do NOT attend our classes if you want to keep a saggy baggy belly 

Gladiator Sandals are all the rage and look lovely, but a little word of warning! They are keeping the physios in business due to being so flat, that women are developing Achilles problems. Get yourself a shoe with a small heel instead.

BAGS FOR SPORT - the gym club as you know is forever finding new ways of raising money and the latest gives you a chance to clear out your clothes, we need bags of good quality clothes, pairs of shoes, belts, bags and soft toys. Please bring them in by the end of July, and we get 40p per kilo for them!

Final funny - talking in class one monday morning someone who will remain nameless, said that they felt rather bloated and sick, when asked why the reply came “It was fathers day, so I ate all his chocolates!”
