Hello Everyone
Fantastic news – we finally have a date for easing of restrictions on the fitness sector. From 25th July, gyms and indoor leisure facilities may reopen!
We will be working hard to get our group Pilates classes back up and running again as soon as possible, but please don’t expect them to start immediately after that date. We are restricted by when the halls we use will be available for us to hire again, and that we don’t yet know. The managers of these facilities must first undertake risk assessments and also meet specific criteria. We are also awaiting detailed guidance from my professional industry body (CIMSPA) and insurers (FITPRO), as to exactly what we can and cannot do. So please do keep that 24/7 membership running for now at least!
We will of course keep you fully up-to-date about when each class will restart, but so far: The Beacon School are not able to give us a starting date; the Shepway Close Centre has indicated that it may not hire again until September; and we also think it unlikely that Age UK in Hythe will hire to us for the time being (this venue may prove too small to permit the required social distancing anyway). Our other classes we hope to start as soon as we are able.
In the meantime, we have prepared a document for you outlining the changes we shall be making in order to keep everyone safe, and our business viable. There are lots of important changes to our procedures and terms and conditions, so please do read this through:

Most importantly, for the gradual transition back to group classes to work for everyone, we need to keep 24/7 running in tandem, and wish to encourage everyone to maintain their membership if they possibly can. To make this cost-effective, 24/7 members will now receive a £2 discount on all group classes. Terms and conditions apply.
This has been an extraordinarily challenging period for us as a business, but we have adapted and been able to offer an unbroken Pilates service to you, and we thank you all sincerely for your support.
I so much look forward to seeing you all – in person – very soon!
Happiness and Health
