HELLO AGAIN!
Can you believe we’ve been here 9 Months? And what a 9 months it’s been! We’ve had Spinnathons, Aquathons, Zumbathons, Mash up’s, Headstands, Handstands and still lots more to come!
May has seen the addition of Aqua Med, a lower intensity, slower paced aqua class but with all the benefits of an aqua class. Aqua Med is to help ease you in gently, if you’re new to exercise, recovering from injury, suffer from any health issues, or just want something a little less strenuous. You can try this class on Tuesdays at 11.15am with Ellie.

Adult Ballet Wednesdays at 2pm
It’s never too late to learn to dance!

Evening Clubbercise CLASS STRIKE SYSTEM
We will be introducing a class strike system to help members gain access to attending our amazing group exercise timetable.
The system simply is, if you don’t attend 3 booked classes in 30 days you will receive a 7-day ban from booking classes.
A class must be cancelled within 60 minutes of its start to allow other members the opportunity to join; otherwise, you will receive one strike.
This will be implemented from 30th September.
We’re always working on adapting our timetable to provide a variety of classes to suit all of you. Keep your eyes peeled for our next set of changes due in October, please feel free to pass on any comments and suggestions you may have to classes@bigboxclub.co.uk
