Classes where frienships are made
It is with great sadness that I start this post sharing news of the passing of one of our dear Class Fitness friends.
Pat Rose, a loyal and dear client since 2013, sadly passed away on Friday 11th October after enduring months of treatment for Leukaemia. She fought bravely and remained so very positive until the end.
She enthusiastically, attended many of our classes over the years (infact, I can't think of one she didn't try!) and she was always so very welcoming to new comers. She was also one of our most successful weight loss members, losing an impressive 6 stone at her peak. Many of you have been sharing your memories of classes you attended with her and the very many social gatherings she joined in on with great fondness over the past week. They have been wonderful to hear.
We were so very grateful that she was well enough in the summer to share an evening of merriment and dance with many of her class fitness pals from over the years. It was a memorable event as I know many of you will agree.and one that I know Pat cherished.
For anyone wishing to attend her funeral it will be held at Chester Crematorium at 10am on Tuesday Nov 5th.
As I wish to attend the service myself, please note that Burn n Firm and the 11am Pilates class on 5th November have been cancelled.
RIP Pat - you will be sincerely missed

October is now heralded as the month to raise awareness of all things menopause - with Oct 18th being World Menopause Day. It is an opportunity for us all to get talking about something which naturally happens to half of the world's population, but even today, is often poorly understood and mismanaged, leaving many women silently coping with the often debilitating symptoms.
If you are currently experiencing any of the many symptoms which peri-menopause and menopause can give rise to please don't suffer in silence. You're not alone!
Here at Class Fitness not only do we have a range of exercise classes that are well suited for managing many of the symptoms but we have a wealth of knowledge and knowledge between us.
And there are now so many useful, online resources where you can get information to help you make decisions about what might help you best through this natural journey.
Here are some links you may find useful:
Spreading the word...
As with all businesses, a goodly amount of my time behind the scenes goes on publicity and marketing of my classes. Something I must admit to not being particularly good at!
With the help of my eldest son though, I'm currently trying to raise my profile on social media and here's where I need your help.
If you're not already FOLLOWING my accounts PLEASE can I ask that you seek me out and start following. And even better - when I POST anything, please could you COMMENT and then SHARE that post so your friends and contacts can get to see what we do too?
Here's the links to my accounts
And as always - a BIG THANKYOU to those of you who refer a friend to classes. This is still by far the best method of getting new folks finding our services and community. And don't forget that as a Thankyou .... you get a FREE class pass added to your Gymcatch account when your contact makes their first booking. Just be sure to let me know who referred them!
