Weekly Wrap up, Week 37.

Weights, IOW day, Ghosts, library changes and more


I mean however bad your week may have been, Amen that you are not the Prime Minister. Is it comedy or a horror show? Either way, we can stop watching Corrie for a while as we wonder at how mad it really can get. They have only been back 5 mins..... so many of us struggle with imposter syndrome... clearly no such concerns at No 10.


How many of you had that epic storm this week. I thought the sky was falling in on Monday night… at the first clap of thunder I knew it was only a matter of seconds before a traumatised little Gretl (my rescue Jack Russell, known for her random moments of irrational overreactions) launched herself onto the bed and wrapped herself like a scarf around my neck, both of us a bit hot and hyperventilating, while the windows rattled and the rain hammered down. Bertie could be heard snoring contentedly at the bottom of the stairs, totally unaware.

I remember one Bonfire night when Bert really did surpass himself. He was lying on his back snoring loudly as fireworks whizzed and banged not far from our front door. I crept into the kitchen and without even turning on the light, quietly opened the fridge door to get the milk for my tea and as I closed the door, there he was, sitting expectantly, tail wagging! 


It is GREAT to be back. I miss you all when I am away from teaching but annoyingly, I am still a little under achieving. You will have noticed that I am up at the screen a lot more and doing a lot less, as I try to be responsible and rest while whatever it is, works it’s way out. SO boring but I am in very good company as I hear a lot of you have also been very unwell. Hopefully we are now building super immunity as the weather turns. 


As we head into Autumn, we hit the ground running… 


WELCOME back to 3 returning members and WELCOME to 2 “new to us” members! It is great to see you online and I can’t wait to share all our online perks and benefits with you. 


Beginner’s guide to weights. WHAT a fantastic response. It just goes to show that we KNOW we need to lift weights and how brilliant that we are taking responsibility for our health and wellness. I was delighted to see such a big class of new faces and have already been diarising two more blocks of classes to see out the year so watch this space. I am planning a regular evening class so make sure you are on my mailing list to hear all updates and info. 


I very much hope the weather behaves itself and really look forward to seeing 15 of you on Wednesday for our Revitalise day on the Isle of Wight with the amazing Clamerkinwild and her flower farm. 


Ghost tours - members you will have received your email. Sorry to be members only but spaces are very limited - you see! SO many reasons who being an online member works!


ONLINE LIBRARY. You will see some subtle changes in the library, to make navigating even easier. Pilates with light weights, Pilates with small equipment are now separate to the mat classes so hopefully you will go straight to what you are looking for. Also a new collection for blocks of strength classes for the 6 week challenges (Tuesdays and Fridays ) and the current bock of 4 - again so you can go straight to the class you are looking for. I hope you find this helps and always welcome feedback. 

I hope to be recording from next week as I see some gaps I want to fill and some areas that I can develop.


Reformer life. I am really enjoying working on my reformer at home and look forward to using these skills to enhance my teaching as well as to give me inspiration for my “bringing the reformer to the mat” classes which I know you will love. I really enjoy learning and developing and then bringing it to our classes. I will also be offering an introductory price of 121 sessions on the reformer at my home so if you fancy a session or few, get in touch. 


I have lots of plans for us this Autumn and will also be dropping in extra classes here and there. More of that to come but for now, have a super weekend and see you on the mat very soon.
