Welcome to this week’s edition of our Member’s weekly newsletter

The clocks have gone back and the dark nights are drawing in. Those of you coming to evening classes, please mind your footing in the industrial estate when coming to to class as the lighting isn’t great, and the ground is less than even!

Menopause Hot Flashes GIF by Kino Lorber

Last week I met a fantastic woman - Fiona Gehring, from Mid point 4 Women, who is a Menopause specialist and runs Menopause & Midlife Awareness workshops all around the country.

Having listened to her speak at a recent event, I think she will be a fantastic (and relevant) addition to our event calendar for early next year.

The workshop will be about raising awareness around peri-menopause, post-menopause and the challenges faced by Women when they are going through these physical and mental changes.

“Menopause can affect women at work and home, neither one is totally separate to the other!

It can lead to marriage break ups, financial losses, poor relationships with children, leaving your job, other health issues which could ultimately lead to loss of life.....this is a fact.

Men need to be fully aware of the Menopause, as it effects them directly or indirectly at home &/or at work. Hormones change in men too and their physical and mental health and wellbeing needs to be considered.”

Having an outside speaker does however comes at a price, so it will be a ticketed event and will be subject to us having enough interest for it to go ahead without the ticket price being too high.

To find out if it will be possible, I have compiled a little form for anyone that is interested to complete so we can make it as accessible to as many of our members, their friends and partners as possible. (We will be able to have a maximum of about 25 people in total).

Please click on the button below to register your interest (please invite your friends to join us).

Out of Office

Christina has already proven her worth this last week in switching over lots of memberships to the 28 day cycle. (It’s still possible to do this if you haven’t already replied).

She is however away with her family for half term, so will not be checking her emails while she is away. If your query can wait until her return there is no need to do anything else, send her an email, and she’ll get back to you on her return.

If it is more urgent and can’t wait until next week, please send your emails directly to me at [email protected] and I will do my best to reply as soon as possible.

Last chance before the prices go up on Friday

As we mentioned last week, the branded clothing and Pilates equipment we sell will be seeing a store wide price increase due to our supplier prices going up.

You can find the store within the Momence App by clicking on products, or you can click on this link to be taken straight to the store right now https://momence.com/The-Pilates-Corner-Ltd/products/33173

Please remember items of clothing are made to order and can take up to 2-3 weeks to arrive. I will be placing an order for these on Friday, 1st November.

You can select your colour and clothing item in the store but will need to message me directly with the size you require. (we do have samples of most sizes if you need to try before you buy).

Most other items are kept in stock, so just ask your instructor when you’re next in if you’ve ordered something and they should be able to get it for you.

Chair Pilates Workshop TOMORROW

We are hosting another Chair Pilates workshop tomorrow at 3-3:45pm.

There are still a few spaces left if you have any friends, neighbours or relatives that may benefit from this gentle, seated, class type.

The cost is £10 and they must book in advance. Just ask them to call 01462 226 554 to book their place, or visit site.thepilatescorner.co.uk/chair to book for them.
