A Note for those on any of the Pilates In Fitness courses

The scientifically proven science of the value of moderate but regular exercise to the heart, hormones and metabolic rate of walking is hopefully well known to all. Yet think of how many of us trudge away on the gym treadmill or ache in our backs and knees after a walk, or sink into a chair at the end of each day too tired for exercise.

Our Pilates in Fitness walks will be done initially for 40 minutes starting at the studio, daily Monday to Friday at 8.30 a.m. until further notice. However, Rosemary would like to see how many of those on the fitness course would be able to escape from home earlier during the summer and meet up on beautiful Cleeve Hill once a week at 7.15 a.m. for an hour's walk in the early morning sunlight, possibly followed by a drink at the Club House before getting back to real life for 9.10 a.m. So, let me know, feel alive, embrace the early day beauty of the Summer and end each week slimmer, fitter and feeling amazingly re-energised.

Book Club Recommendations

About every 8 weeks I’d love to pass on to all what I hear from you is brilliant and on the shelves.

With huge thanks to the Tuesday a.m. class who spoke so inspiringly about this book I’m definitely going to have to read it now.

‘The Kite Runner’ by Hosseini. Well, absolutely everyone raves about this book. It is set in Afghanistan and involves the relationship between a 12 year old boy Amir, and his father. Everyone calls this book “beautiful”, but I have a feeling you will need a tissue for the tears.

The Kite Runner has also come out as a film and folks say it is equally fabulous.

There is also a sequel to this book and people are loving that too!! So, happy reading or present buying.

A very good Nutrition Book:
Optimum Nutrition for the Brain by Patrick Holford.

You will see a copy of this for you to browse over in your “Snug”. If you have any youngsters away from home at university or college, send them a copy. I was impressed that my son, last year, aged 23 and his flat mates apparently read it quite extensively. I think they were wisely prepared to consider all the help they could find as they were coming up to their university finals. I think all ages would find this book interesting.

New Classes and Costs

Dear Clients, I hope you are going to love the new classes on offer. These really have come about because of repeatedly expressed wishes by my clients over the years.

Money: I torture myself to death trying to work out how cheaply I can give you the best service possible. I cheer myself up by remembering that over the 6 years I have been in Cheltenham my classes have only grown in popularity, and as I write, based on a certain number of people I wanted for each class, there are only two spaces available right now to meet that quota.

Professionals who are looking for a professional service have described my classes in the last 4 months as being “worth every penny”, and “very reasonable”. I cannot compete with others on price because here you get the best studio and best trained teacher, and most comprehensive amount of equipment possible. (to be continued when this is up and I have access to adding on text myself)

For example:

The Pilates In Fitness Classes:

You can do circuit training for about 4 in one of many school halls in Cheltenham, but the class is nothing like what will be provided here.
