The 1st Annual Member Awards are here!

Happy New Year to you all!

Christmas has been and gone in a whirlwind of a week and now we’re just mere hours away to the turn of 2025.

I hope you have all enjoyed your Christmas break.

This week’s newsletter is slightly different - I am excited to announce the first EVER annual Pilates Corner Member Awards!

We wanted to recognise some members for their outstanding achievements, and some just for fun.
