IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO GIVE UP MY BEAUTIFUL STUDIO It was not a decision I took lightly, but It is the only way to safeguard my services to you ….. BUT……. ON A POSITIVE NOTE….. You know I am not a quitter and I am certainly not ready to hang up my trainers….I am not too proud to go back to my roots. So I am pleased to say I will still be offering my classes in Balsall Common. I will be going back to where it started many many decades ago. No the room may not be as attractive or as sweet smelling as my studio. There may not be the dimmed lights I have when you are lying down ……however, One thing I can guarantee is you will still get the same standard of classes I pride myself on giving to you. You will still get that care and understanding of your particular health needs. I have contacted clients face to face  to tell them, as I value and appreciate all their support. However, word will get out and I don’t want you to hear via the grapevine. So now it is official…I am leaving the studio…BUT Positive Fitness is not leaving Balsall Common It has been an emotional week, and I’m exhausted, but I am thrilled to say that apart from a handful of clients, who cannot change their days, most clients are moving over to the new timetable Even then, I’m still trying to find alternative suggestions for those that cannot attend THE PROPOSED NEW TIMETABLE The new timetable will be effective from June (in the current studio) and will move to new venues in July MONDAY MORNING VENUE. ST PETERS HALL BALSALL COMMON 9.30am RETRODANCE –45 minutes I started this class recently and already it has proved to very popular. This class is aimed at those who remember the retro years, the headbands and the leg warmers.

We are looking at starting in July, so keep a watch out JESS AND VOURN As difficult as it has been for everyone during this pandemic, Jess and Vourn have stayed by my side, providing excellent classes. I am more than happy to promote their classes as I have suggested Jess starts how I did 39 years ago! So watch this space, as no doubt I will be promoting her classes. She has always been very loyal to me, a trait that is not often found in this industry. She has shown determination and resilience in teaching whilst still monitoring her two gorgeous girls. I know from past experience how hard this is juggling family life and work. Vourn has also shown her loyalty to me and her high quality knowledge in her field has set her apart from other PT trainers. Vourn is happy to offer small group sessions or 1-1 and has suggested a trial session at the studio before July. If you are interested, please ring her on 07800 903426 Julie Dalton has again been a supporter of my studio and although we parted company during the pandemic, I have the utmost respect for her as a fellow fitness professional ON LINE CLASSES AND LIBRARY I am looking at updating the library system and also offering either zoom or Facebook live twice a week.
