Well the summer season is now over and we are approaching the darker nights, and the temptation to stay indoors! Remember by keeping fit and healthy during the Autumn and Winter seasons, this will put you in good stead for the following Spring and Summer seasons. Try to make healthy living a way of life, not just a case of losing a few pounds for the beach and then slumping in front of the TV when it gets colder.  By exercising, it will give you more energy and motivation ! I have been away for a few weeks this year, as you are all aware, but now I am back until Christmas!  although, I know a lot of you have been using the library which is FREE to all my clients Take a note of the OCTOBER dates and classes Please note.

September Newsletter . THANK YOU So much for all the cards, gifts and best wishes I have received for my celebration of my 40th year in the fitness industry. Thanks again all of you who came to my party to celebrate. What a great night it was! Also many thanks for the cards Dave and I have received for our announcement of our engagement. Thrilled to say we have a date next September!!!!  So need to start looking for that dress! CLASSES FOR AUGUST I know August is traditionally the quietest month of the year for me, but so far, classes have been well attended. Classes running throughout August as normal, but please note the following I will be running a Bank Holiday session at St Peter’s, as follows Monday 28th August 9.15am Intermediate Pilates 10.15am Pilates and Stretch Please book now so I get an idea on interest Also remember the following dates in August Monday 21st August. Morning classes as normal but the evening classes are not running as the school is closed Wednesday 23rd August classes are at St Peter’s just for this date Monday 28th August evening no classes SEPTEMBER CLASSES Unfortunately, I have decided for the time being NOT to run the 11.15am Pilates on a Monday.  However, for those who wish to attend, bookings can be made for the earlier time.  Please note the Monday 10.05am class will start at 10.15am from September WORCESTERSHIRE CLASSES I will be running the following classes from September in my local area. Please check website for more info Tuesdays Abbots Morton Village Hall 5pm Beginner Pilates 6.15pm pilates int  PAYMENT PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING UPDATED INFO ON BUNDLES AND CANCELLATION  PAYMENT FOR CLASSES I know some clients have difficulty occasionally with gymcatch.  For me it saves loads of admin time, but please if you struggle, message me or pay by bank transfer if necessary Anyway, hope this  clarifies a few points regarding payment There are a number of payment options offering clients more flexibility. There is no membership, so clients are not forced to make a monthly commitment. This works well if clients are away and still don’t want to have to pay for their classes On the other hand many classes get very busy and with limited numbers, I would advise clients to book as soon as the dates are released (normally two weeks before the new month starts ) PAYG With larger venues and Dancefit, classes, clients can book as they want (payg) as spaces are not as limited. However, with Pilates especially in small venues , I ask clients to book and pay for the whole month. Reduced cost if pay for whole month. I still offer regular clients the option to pay for the sessions they can make in that month, but the cost is £1 more   This guarantees regular attendance and comfortable spacing for clients as numbers are limited BUNDLES Bundles can be purchased for all classes, with the exception of the small venues where Pilates are held. (Bishampton and Abbots Morton). These classes are booked on line as mentioned above SUMMARY OF CLASS COST Pilates  (55 mins) £8.50 (£9.50 smaller venue if payg, otherwise the cost is same £8.50 if pay for month Dancefit £7.50 (45 mins) YAH £6.50 (45 mins) Dancefit and Pilates (Mondays) Bundles …please note once you pay for your bundle, you only make one payment as Gymcatch will take each class from your package when you book your sessions Ten sessions of Dancefit £70 Ten sessions of Pilates (not Abbots Morton )£80 Ten sessions of YAH £60 Ten sessions of Monday Dancefit and Pilates £120 CLASS CANCELLATIONS Classes can be cancelled upto two days notice. A class credit will then be issued. (To be used up within 6 months)   This applies to only the Monday and Wednesday classes Sent from my iPhone BOOK SEPTEMBER Classes can now be booked Timetable for September Week commencing 4th Sept- Balsall Common and Berkswell classes as normal Week commencing 11th September NO CLASSES ANYWHERE Week commencing 18th September All classes running Mondays Balsall Common 9.15am Dancefit 10.15am Pilates and Stretch 6pm Dancefit 7pm Pilates Tuesday Abbots Morton 5pm Beginner Pilates 6.15pm Pilates Wednesday Berkswell 9.30am Pilates 10.30am Pilates 11.40am YAH Friday Bishampton 9.15am Dancetone 10.15am Pilates Week commencing Monday 25th September Classes running as normal Take care Sally x Goldcrest 1 Nightingale Fields Bishampton Worcestershire Wr10 2rs UNITED KINGDOM

Hi

Further to my last newsletter informing you of the proposed new classes, times and venues, I list below the schedule for May, June and July

Some clients have expressed an interest in a detailed calendar, so they can see exactly where their classes will be and at what time.  So I hope it helps…….

I am away for quite a part of May and June and with many clients away also May and June, I have decided to implement the NEW PROPOSED PROGRAMME from June.

My studio is smaller than the new venue, so we should be able to accommodate everyone until July

classes can NOW be booked for June.

Please note NEW RETRODANCEFIT   This class is ideal for anyone who is looking for a low impact old school retro aerobics Dancefit class.  Taught by myself, an original Jane Fonda. No high impact, so ideal if you suffer with knees or back issues

Monday evenings 6pm….

I hope you had a great Christmas and are now looking forward to a brand New Year.  My Christmas was magical sharing it with my loved ones and of course my little grandson. However I know a lot of clients were not as fortunate.   I do hope this year is a better year for all of you I have no idea what the future holds for Positive Fitness, as it has been a struggle to keep things going.  As much as I value and appreciate support shown by those clients who have either bought my library or attended the studio, I am sure you understand it has not been easy I will do my very best to keep offering the high quality of classes I have prided myself on.  But with fewer classes and fewer instructors it has not been easy.   I am hoping March will see a return of more clients.   Many classes are busy with a waiting list ,but there are others that have been low on numbers. I have to make a decision to take them off the timetable if numbers do not improve, so I would ask you to please support the classes The studio is safe and cleaned daily. On top of this my instructors are all triple jabbed and I no longer take clients who refuse the vaccine. I have been questioned on my decision but feel it is my prerogative and I stand by It. . I appreciate there is a lot of uncertainty around at the moment and it may mean closing the studio if we have another lockdown.  But I have decided to go ahead and open up on Wednesday 5th January I am hoping clients will be sensible and not attend classes if they show any signs of the virus, but I feel it is imperative to keep our immune system healthy with good eating and plenty of exercise I have  released  January dates and if I have to cancel then I will keep you updated PLEASE NOTE I CAN NO LONGER OFFER CREDIT CLASSES. IN VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES TRANSFER CAN BE OFFERED IF THERE IS A SPACE (Obviously present class credits will be honoured ) Please will you check if you have a credit owed to you and I will book a replacement class in my name ALSO PLEASE NOTE IF A CLASS ONLY HAS A SMALL NUMBER BOOKED IN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO CLASS RUNNING IT WILL NOT RUN Book classes Library The library can be purchased for £25 and houses over 70 workouts. This can be purchased via gymcatch or by contacting myself . LIBRARY Are you unfit and want to get fit? NEW CLASS MONDAY 9.30am Nikki Haynes a qualified nutritionist and fitness instructor will be starting a  BRAND NEW CLASS on a Monday at 9.30am. From Monday 10th January.  Places are limited so please message me if you are interested or can be booked via gymcatch FRIDAY  NEW LEGS BUMS TUMS STARTS FRI 7TH JANUARY 9.15am This class will replace Fab abs and will be a combination of Legs bums and tums Run by Jess FRIDAY PILATES WILL RUN SLIGHTLY LATER AT 10.15am Run by Sally Wishing you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR SALLY .

I want to ensure your safety….    With winter around the corner, I am concerned about the future of my studio and my clients health and welfare.  It has been a hard 18 Months keeping my business running with limited numbers and a high percentage of clients still unsure about returning. I have followed the guidelines by keeping clients safe with social distancing, good ventilation, cleaning equipment, ensuring that if anyone shows any signs of the virus to stay at home.   I am very aware of the next few months and the fear that it may bring further restrictions.  More importantly I am aware of the responsibility I have for my clients Now with the weather getting colder, it is more comfortable to keep the doors and windows shut. However, it is still essential to keep ventilation in the main studio and for that reason , I intend to keep a window or two open even in the cold months ahead A local businessman has made the decision to only allow clients who have been double jabbed into his salon. I have been considering  following the same path.    I respect people who have not had their vaccination, but from my point of view I need to take into account the safety of my own clients I am no expert at all on this virus, but I have sought advice from leading surgeons and doctors in the medical field and understand a little more.   To be double jabbed will not stop anyone getting the virus, however, If they did contract it, the illness would be less severe.  Without the jab, there is a very high risk of very severe illness or even death, especially in the older age group Whether people have the Vaccine   or not, they can still spread the virus. However, for those people who do not have the vaccine   there is a higher chance of contracting the virus and spreading it further . All professionals that have close proximity to their clients, including nurses, doctors, hairdressers, beauticians, have a duty of care to look after their clients. As a fitness instructor, I also need to apply this to my clients.  I have many clients who are carers or are in a vulnerable position I have, therefore, made the decision to implement , with immediate effect, the following measures 1. All clients must be double jabbed before they enter the studio. I would like some form of confirmation they have been vaccinated. 2.  I am asking clients to revert to waiting outside or in their cars, until their class start when the instructor will let them in.  Please no waiting in reception..no more than two. If you wish to wear a mask, please do so ..entirely up to you.  I would advise not to during exercise 3.  Please will you ensure you leave via the exit door 4 . Please continue to sanitise equipment after use I know this will upset some clients and they may decide leave.  I respect their decision and hope they respect mine. I appreciate some have not have the vaccine due to medical reasons, although I have been advised this is very rare. For that reason, I would not  exclude them With many of my clients either in their 50/60/70/80 plus age group or who are carers, I need to put them first as well as my business. I cannot afford to close my studio down again   This virus is going no where but I need to put in the right safety measures CLASS BOOKINGS I have had to make decisions regarding some classes .  It is good to see clients book once again after not attending the studio for the last two years, however, I cannot continue to run classes with two or less in a class    Therefore I would kindly ask clients to please book their class at least  48 hours  prior to class taking place   This will give me time to give plenty of notice to the instructors and the 2 clients who had booked in if I have to cancel MONDAY EVENING PILATES I am now running a beginners Pilates at 5.pm  which is currently  full This is an eight week course and will continue on going at this level The class that follows is currently at 6.45pm . I have decided to split it into two more sessions  to ensure clients are comfortable with less in the class. So as from Monday 11th October I will be running the following classes Monday 5pm  beginners Pilates              6pm Pilates             7pm Pilates I would ask You to cancel your classes  if you have booked from 11th  Monday and re book to the time that suits you Apologies for these changes but I need to make sure you are all confident .  I am doing my best to make the studio a safe environment to work out in and meet friends.  I also need to keep my business solvent as I do not want to have to shut it down. I am aware with winter approaching the virus is more active and people are more at risk of catching it and therefore I have to do what I feel is morally right If we all pull together and stick to these guidelines, I have been advised there is a very slim chance of anyone catching coronavirus from my studio Please respect my decision thank you Sally    As the winter months approach….

NEWSLETTER APRIL 2020 Hi PLEASE GRAB A COFFEE AND READ. THIS IS IMPORTANT INFO How exciting is it that we can all get back to what we all enjoy doing…living a normal life …How easy it has been to take everything and everyone for granted over the past year.   I am so excited that, all being well the doors to Positive Fitness can open once again in May. I have been in contact with many clients, either by Facebook , Zoom, text, email or good old fashioned phone calls.   It has been great to keep in touch , but there are many clients I haven’t seen or heard from. I really hope you are well and healthy and looking forward to getting back to the studio CLASS CREDITS I have reimbursed some clients with class credit by way of refund to bank , but it has caused more confusion with the gym catch.  As the time period has elapsed for credits, you may not receive a credit owed to you.  I have tried to change the setting so you can use your credit.  Please contact me if you cannot. Also if you have received a cash refund already from me, I am trusting your honesty not to use any class credits.   However, if it still gives you one, please message me. Sorry this is so confusing. I think will take some weeks to sort out FITNESS WEAR I am pleased to say I have a new supplier of good quality fitness clothes at a competitive price.      I can order a number of items including vests, t shirts, leggings, sweat-tops,  as well as other sportswear in different sizes and colours. The garments will be displayed in the reception   If there are items in the studio you wish to try on and purchase immediately please message me.  Items can be found on the website.  Please click below LOOK UNDER SPORTSWEAR  ON THE MENU Click Here! PAYMENT OPTIONS I am sure you will all appreciate it has been extremely hard to keep my business viable over the last year. Prior to the pandemic,  there were three payment options,  Pay as you Go, Flexi-month and Monthly.     With restricted numbers, and uncertainty probably for rest of the year,  I can only offer Pay as you go, via gymcatch. Clients can still book and pay for as many classes as they wish and classes will be released as previously, every month. There is the option to pay for a bundle of classes, where you get ten sessions for the cost of nine. RECORDED LIBRARY I will  be offering a FREE recorded library for clients who attend 8 times a month.   I.e.  attend 8 sessions in June and you get July Library FREE   If you book 4 sessions for the two weeks in May, you will receive FREE recorded for June. The recorded library will still be available to purchase by anyone at the cost of £25. NEW CLASSES AND TIMETABLE I have changed some days and times as well as names for the timetable.  Also I am adding some new classes.    Please note, ALL classes must have a minimum number to run and new ones will be trialled for a couple of months.
