Pilates

This week we start the last course of 2014. It’s hard to believe that this year has gone so quickly, but this week we’ve started our seventh and last course of 2014.

We will be running some classes right up to the last week before Christmas whilst others will finish with the end of the school year. If you’re interested in Reigate Pilates classes, we offer 18 classes in Reigate itself, in a variety of levels so there will be something suitable for you.

Other classes are also available in Betchworth, just outside of Reigate. The Betchworth venue has ample free parking making it a credible alternative to Reigate or Dorking.

Our Dorking Pilates classes are going from strength to strength with 11 classes on offer, again of varying levels from beginner to intermediate. We also see Body-Torque returning to the Dorking Sports Centre Studio on Thursday morning. The studio is a great place to practise Pilates with full height mirrors and beautiful floor.

So it’s not too late to sign up for a course and feel the benefits before the Christmas party season gets into full swing. Hope to see you soon.

As you may know some of us participated in the 7-Oaks Triathlon earlier this year, it’s a great event and one of the longest established triathlons in our area; well organised and supported by local companies and of course the members of 7-Oaks Tri Club, a super event, friendly, but not easy!!

The event always fills really quickly, last year it was sold out in about 90 minutes! If you’re interested in entering for 2015 there is a mailing list you can join which notifies you when the entries open; those of us who raced this year plan to return next year, and will do better in 2015!  If you’re interested in joining us please register your interest on the 7-oaks mailing list (link below).

Entries will open in mid November, and the 2015 7-Oaks Triathlon will be held on Sunday 19th April 2015.

Last year we ran a training session to cover transition, we can organise more training for this year if we have the demand.

See you on the start line?

Just remembered we didn’t post anything about or Facebook draw which took place at the end of August just before our summer break. Our thanks go to all those of you who liked our page along with Sophie who kindly drew the winning ticket in the presence of the 08.30 Saturday class.

The lucky winner was Debbie Parker, who receives a voucher for a 90 minute 1:1 session, postural analysis and bespoke exercise programme. Congratulations Debbie!!

Well done to the super guys and girl of our Run Reigate team for completing the first (of many?) Reigate half marathon.

We were very lucky to have a gloriously sunny day for the event; everyone was in high spirits and thoroughly enjoyed the day despite the 13.1 miles we had to run. The race had an incredible atmosphere, with an estimated 3,000 runners and lots of local volunteers helping along the route.

I’m very pleased to say we have smashed our fund-raising target of £500, in aid of the Children’s Trust; our current total is over £800, so thank you so much if you for your generous donations. If you would like to donate and haven’t got round to it yet, our Virgin money giving page will be active for the next few weeks, please visit: ://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/body-torque

Sadly a young man died at the race on Sunday, and our thoughts and sympathy are with his family and friends.

Thank you for your support.

Our summer class timetable is now available to view, just go to our home page and click on the link, or click here: Summer timetable

Many of the daytime classes are still running though the school holidays and most evening sessions remain unchanged, so whether you want an early morning Pilates Matwork class in Reigate or a late evening Pilates session in Dorking, we can accommodate you!

Don’t forget the Interval training sessions still running Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Our New September timetable will be out shortly so look out for new classes and venues, as well as great new promotions and offers.

Have a great summer.

What a great run of beautiful weather we’ve been having!

Luckily for those who came to our Tuesday evening Pilates mat-work classes at Dunottar school on Tuesday, the weather held fine for the whole evening, as there was a mix-up with the venue booking meaning the hall was locked when we arrived. This however gave us an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the beautiful school gardens and spend a super summer evening of Pilates al fresco.

So many enjoyed the chance to be outside on such a lovely evening that we have been asked to do more sessions outside if the weather holds.

Enjoy the summer
