I’ve really enjoyed my 3 day break, it was just what I needed, and the lovely weather was a bonus 🌞I hope all my class members have enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend and made the most of the beautiful weather. .

It’s another hot day 🥵but it was so good to get back to class at St Ann's Millennium Centre this morning. .

I must say a big ‘Thank You’ to 20 of my class members for joining this morning’s session, despite the high temperatures 🔥Now that’s what I call dedication to fitness! Thankfully is was nice and cool in the building and I was able to deliver a nice toned down class with plenty of timeout for drinks & hydration 💦

**Reminder**Please stay hydrated throughout the day in this heat, even if you don’t feel thirsty, it’s good to drink little and often in this heat. .

I must say ‘Well done’ to my class members for taking part in ‘Circuits’ in every class this week. . You worked really well together and managed to complete 8 different ‘Strength’ & ‘Balance’ workstations.

No equipment, just your own body weight & strength! Great work, but don’t forget your homework 💁‍♀️

I’m now signing off for a lovely 3 day bank holiday weekend - Enjoy the nice weather ☀️

It’s been a good start to the week with a great ‘Circuits’ Class at St Helens Chain Lane Community Centre with 29 class members taking part and powering through 8 different exercises!

Today’s session focused on building both strength and balance — Two key components of overall fitness and everyday movement. Strength training helps improve muscle tone, supports joints, boosts metabolism, and increases confidence in daily activities. Balance work is equally important, helping to improve stability, coordination, posture, and reducing the risk of falls and injuries. .

A brilliant effort from everyone today with great energy, determination, and teamwork throughout the class. Well done everyone!

All classes this week will go ahead as normal at the usual times and in the usual venues, as listed below>>

🚨Long Important Post Alert 🚨

❇️ Gentle Reminder - As always, if you have been away from classes and you are planning on attending this week, then please let me know.

❇️ Text/WhatsApp 07913028258

❇️ At least 24hrs notice is required for cancellations

❇️ Your prior notice of holidays/appointments etc will have a booked place on you return, if this is different than you first planned, or you won’t be attending class, then please let me know before the day you are expected back to class. .

❇️ Our classes work best when all class members commit to attending their hourly class consistently and respects the booking/cancellation process we have in place.

❇️ Late cancellations, especially within an hour of a class starting have a much bigger impact than people often realise. . .

❇️ Not only does it prevent others from taking those spaces, but low attendance can completely change the energy and dynamic of a class that’s been carefully planned for a full group in advance. . .

❇️ Thank You, to class members who consistently show up each week, and help to create such a positive training environment, it makes all the difference to the motivation and enjoyment of the sessions for everyone including me!

❇️ Your Fitness is my Business
Without a doubt I value each and every one of you, but you need to value your own health & fitness too

See you all in classes 💁‍♀️
