Instructor Changes Friday 31st August

August 30, 2007

The Flu continues to wreak havoc with the timetable. Two changes to Friday’s timetable:
Victoria Rose will be filling in for Vanessa C for the 9:30am RPM
Jesse will be covering for Tom in 10:30am BODY BALANCE.
5:45pm RPM will be replaced by a Cycle class taken by Christy as Deanne has been called out of Sydney.

Thursday 5:45pm Body Pump

August 29, 2007

Another late change to the scheduled timetable. Mish will be unable to do this class due to Biggest Loser requirements that she cannot get out of. She sends her apologies and the class will be covered by Kate, who is now doing the double. This is a great chance to do one of Kate’s classes [...]

Wednesday 29th 6:00pm RPM changed to Cycle

August 29, 2007

Sorry for the last minute notice!
Vanessa has come down with the flu, so cannot take the class tonight. We wish her a speedy recovery!
A big thank you to Christy who will cover with a freestyle cycle class.

New Shoulder Press

August 29, 2007

After several requests from members, we have brought in a new, much more upright shoulder press. Delivery was yesterday and it already seems popular. Above: Tom,  one of our members puts it to the test (calm down ladies!)
Rigid bars mean that unlike the old press, there is also less lateral movement (despite your hands still [...]

Sunday Morning Classes Cancelled 26th August

August 26, 2007

We regret that both the 8:30 RPM and 9:30 Body Balance  classes  have been cancelled this week as Dale  had to pull out due to a back injury.  Despite trying our hardest, we were unable to find replacements given the late notice we received.  Apologies to all who wanted to do the classes – we [...]

August 23, 2007

A very warm welcome home to Victoria Rose who returns after a semester away studying at Harvard. A special thank you also to Victoria who wandered in to the gym this morning expecting to do a workout and ended up teaching the 9:30 am Body Attack/Abs class as Kate, our regular for this slot, was [...]

Creche

August 23, 2007

Just a reminder to all parents who use the creche that their children need to be booked in the day before.
Please also be mindful of others and do not bring sick children to the creche. If they are too sick for school, they are too sick for the creche. This is especially relevant with the [...]
