Member of the Month
Ruth Barnett, who lives in Bollington, has been awared Fitness4All Member of the Month for April, with a whopping 21 visits in April, but that’s not the real reason why she’s member of the month. Ruth has made a massive change to her lifestyle and mindset, no longer is working out a chore it’s now enjoyable; something she never thought would happen! I’ll let Ruth tell you more:

“I started off with little energy and complete lack of motivation, after 11 weeks I am bursting with energy and now settled into my weekly routine of visiting the gym 3-4 times a week and the pounds and inches are not just dropping of they are staying off and I am constantly receiving compliments of friends, family & work colleagues.”

So, congratulations to Ruth for making changes in her life and taking control

Member of the Month.
Is Jon Barton! Jon has been coming to F4A for a while now, which, seeing as he works in the Mill is ideally located for him and in the last few months has thrown himself into a packed exercise routine of classes and gym.Body Blast, Spin, Boxercise - you name it he’s there.
Enthusiasm, dedication and a taste for Myoplex Protein Shakes makes Jon B our member of the month – come and see me to ‘Spin the wheel’ for your prize.

Member of the month.
Perhaps many of you don’t know Sarah Gill. Sarah co-owns SPN in the Mill and Sarah  has had to overcome some real obstacles to get into the gym, which make the usual excuses like lack of time and motivation seem null and void. In 28 days Sarah has lost nearly half a stone of fat after not exercising for years! BUT, it’s not all about fat loss – Sarah feels great, has more energy and is always getting compliments. Determination, motivation and a great attitude make Sarah ‘Member of the Month’. Johnny Barton who won last month’s membership also won a free massage.

Class News
It’s been 3 months since we last updated our timetable and our new one is better than ever – I know I say that every time but it’s true! Demand for another Kettlercise has been huge, so Monday will now have an extra Kettlercise class at 6.45pm instead of PumpFx. Tuesday sees Kettlercise and Body Blast swapped around – feedback indicated that the 5.45 classes saw too much spinning and so we’ve swapped these two classes around to give you more variety. Friday – as it’s the only class of the night we’ve moved the class back to 6pm instead of 5.45, giving you more time to arrive from work. The Wednesday 7.15am Spin has been taken off the timetable – perhaps unsurprisingly, people didn’t seem to keen to Spin with me at that time of the morning! The guest classes will continue and we will aim to feature them on different days of the week so that as many people as possible can give them a go. July’s guest classes are StompFx on Monday 12th at 6.45pm and GrooveFx on Monday 26th at 6.45pm. If you would like to see any guest classes let us know and we’ll do our best to get them on. The new timetable will start Monday 26th July. Did you know that if you refer a member who joins F4A we’ll give you cash?! It’s true! And the best thing is we’re giving away more than ever – if one of your friends or family joins because you told them about us we’ll give you £25 cash! There’s no limit to how many people you can refer either so get referring!

6 Weeks to Guaranteed Results!
