Hello Everyone
How time flies when we are having fun! It’s been a great start to the autumn with some of our classes at full capacity now. I love seeing you all each week and well done with your commitment to your future health, wellbeing and posture. Please make sure you are booked into the class you want to attend as we have waiting lists for some of the classes now. I want to make sure all my regular clients keep their places, but please keep a check on when you block runs out and renew well beforehand. I do try to remind you when I can before class, but don’t always get the chance.
Christmas meals
We have a great group for our Festive meals out now with over 50 of you attending across 4 meals. For Aspendos the deposit is now £5 (I will give £5 back to those who have already given me £10) and The Tiger is £10 deposit. Can this be in cash please (as it’s for your meal and not Pilates classes). The 4 dates and venues are below. Please let me know as soon as possible if you want to come:
- Wednesday 27th November 1.00pm – Aspendos Folkestone
- Friday 29th November 6.30pm – Red Lion, Hythe
- Tuesday 3rd December 12.15pm – The Tiger In Stowting
- Thursday 5th December 12.00pm – Red Lion, Hythe
Those who have booked, can you please give me your menu choice next week. All the food menus have been added to our website under the ‘More’ menu tab. I will also have copies in class, or they are on the Pilates Social group. I will have a separate list for each venue in class for you to add you menu choices to, or message me the details. Each year our socials get bigger and bigger and this year is no exception. I am really looking forward to it!
What to Bring to Class w/c 18th November – Hand weights
This week we shall be using hand weights in class for some added resistance and bone-loading. This is of course optional for those who would prefer to continue exercising without. Why not take advantage of the competitively priced hand weights we have in stock to add to your Pilates arsenal?! Purchase now and I’ll bring them to class for you. Otherwise, you can bring food tins or small bottles of water to use as weights instead. https://www.janem.co.uk/shop/
Price Changes for 2025
There will be a small increase to the price of our Pilates classes from the start of 2025, as hall rental fees and other costs have risen considerably over the last year. Classes purchased as part of a block will increase by 50p each. Individual classes will increase by £1 each. The cost of 24/7 Online Pilates will increase by 50p per week. One-to-one Pilates Therapy session prices will also increase a little. My new 2024 price list is below:
- Group classes: block of 4: £38.00 (or £30 for 24/7 members)
- Group classes: single class: £11.00 (or £9 for 24/7 members)
- 24/7 Online Pilates: 28-day membership: 26.00
- One-to-one Pilates Therapy: £62 Premium or £50 Standard
The new prices will apply to purchases made from 1st January 2024, so if you would like to take advantage of the current prices for a bit longer, please feel free to purchase additional blocks of classes or 24/7 membership before the end of the year.
Terms and Conditions
Please note that I require at least 7 days’ notice to transfer a pre-booked and paid class to a different week, although if not I will try and slot you into another class during the same week and only if I have space. (You can also do a Zoom class during that same week if you prefer.)
A reminder of our Christmas holiday dates and Christmas special classes
This Christmas period, we will be taking a three-week break (with the exception of the ‘specials’ below).
We are stopping from Friday 13th December and starting again from Thursday 2nd January.
Christmas Specials
As mentioned above, we have a slightly longer Christmas break this year, so I am also running four special classes, two on Christmas Eve and two on New Year’s Eve as below. Please click here to register if you haven’t already: https://www.janem.co.uk/christmas-2024/
The Christmas Eve classes will be ‘Flow Pilates’ with plenty of flowing Pilates, stretching and relaxation. We will have candles and relaxing music to calm you ready for Christmas Day. This class just might save you if Christmas is getting a bit overwhelming! We still have some places, so let me know if you want to come.

New Years eve classes will be ‘Power Pilates’ to get you moving a bit more and add some strength work using bands and body weight. Just what we need after the indulgence of Christmas and to head us into the 2025.
