Hello Everyone
It’s wonderful now to see so many of my existing clients and some new ones too in classes and online. I am excited, not because I am going on holiday (although that is of course exciting!) but because we now have so much more to offer you than we did six months ago. We are moving forward now into a new normal which we can all embrace and enjoy, with more flexibility and variety, in order to keep practicing our Pilates forever. I feel truly blessed to be able to do this with you all, and we constantly strive to make our Pilates the very best experience it can be for you.
No Classes Week Commencing 7th September
I shall be taking a much needed break the week commencing Monday 7th September, so please note that there will be no classes that week. Those of you with classes booked that week have had your classes that week moved on accordingly. Normal service resumes on Tuesday 15th September. Feel free to message or email me while I am away, but please note that I may not reply until my return.
So that you can keep your Pilates practice going, I am offering a new 10 day access to Jane Mackenzie 24/7 Online Pilates for the same cost as a group class (£8 or £7.50 if you transfer a class from a block of four across). Keep your Pilates practice regular with 10 days access to our extensive library of 24 full 1 hour Pilates Classes, and take as many classes as you like, whenever you like, during that 10 day period. I need to know if you would like to take advantage of this by Monday 31st August, in order to set up user accounts. Please note that 10 day memberships do not include group class discounts or booking priority benefits: https://www.janem.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/
NEW CLASS! at the Three Hills Tuesday 6.45 pm Starting 22nd September
I have now heard from the Beacon School, and unfortunately they are no longer able to hire their hall to us. But exciting news: I’ve been able to acquire some more time at the superbe Three Hills Sports Park (Roundhill Suite), so will be running a second Pilates class there on Tuesdays from 6.45 to 7.45 pm. I’ve recently revised our maximum class size there down to 11 people to provide even more space for everyone, and we also benefit from very efficient dual air-conditioning systems drawing air directly from outside. It is therefore a very pleasant and safe venue for us all. The new classes start from Tuesday 22nd September.
Once again, it is very likely that this new class will get booked up quickly, so please let me know as soon as you can if you would like to book. Please remember that to be fair to everyone I allocate places in the order I receive payment.
Wednesday Classes at the Shepway Close Centre
Two more Pilates classes, 11.30 am and 5.30 pm on Wednesdays at the Shepway Close Centre in Folkestone start on 23rd September. These are booking up quickly, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to join one. Please remember that I allocate places in the order I received payment, so if you have indicated that you would like to attend, please could you make payment as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Shepway close really is a fantastic hall with modern facilities, and has been fully redecorated over the summer. It is the largest of all our venues, so there will be loads of space for social distancing, and ventilation is excellent.
Restricted Numbers and Payment for Blocks of Classes
Running reduced class sizes, it is sadly impossible to fit everyone in who wants to attend. If I could therefore please ask regulars on blocks to pay for your next block two weeks before your existing block ends, that will help me plan and hopefully avoid disappointment. Please remember that my 24/7 members receive booking priority as well as a discount on group classes, so keeping your membership going (or joining up!) is a great way to make it more likely you will get a place in class.
And just a reminder that I do need at least a week’s notice if you wish to change a booked/pre-paid class to a different week. Otherwise classes are non-refundable/transferable. I’m sorry but it’s impossible for me to manage class numbers otherwise: https://www.janem.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/
Autumn Outdoor Pilates Classes in September
Our outdoor classes have proved even more popular this year (despite varying luck with the weather!), so we are planning to run two additional autumn classes this year on Sunday 20th and Saturday 26th September. These will be held at the slightly later time of 9.00 am, and will of course be weather dependent. You are also advised to bring along something a little warmer to wear in case it’s a little chillier. As always, keep an eye on our Availability page for numbers and expected weather: https://www.janem.co.uk/availability/ . More information on our outdoor classes here: https://www.janem.co.uk/pilates/outdoor-pilates-classes-in-folkestone/ Please let me know if you would like to come along.
We also have some space on our outdoor class this Sunday 30th August, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to attend.
That’s all for now. I look forward to enjoying Pilates with you all over the coming months.
Happiness and Health
Jane Mackenzie
