Hello Everyone
I hope you enjoyed the wonderful sunshine we have been having this last week. Now we are getting warmer days be ware we might be going outside for the Tuesday 5.30, Wednesday 6pm (if no cricket) and Thursday mornings. I won’t know definitely, as it may be too windy or too hot, so please if the weather is looking good bring along some suncream, a hat and a towel for your mat, and some water.
On the subject of water, let’s think about rehydrating sufficiently and drinking plenty of water in class. I am encouraging us all (including myself!) to drink a whole water bottle during the class. So I will be prompting drink stops in class over the summer months and beyond. Remember also to drink some before and after class. We will all benefit from being properly hydrated.
Help us find a new Slogan for our Online Pilates!
Further to our drive to improve the scope and functionality of our Online Pilates 247, can you help us find a new slogan/strap line that means something to you? We’ve whittled our ideas down, and created a short poll for you to quickly select your favourites here… Please do tell us your preferences!

Charity Sponsored Pier-to-Pier open water swim 27th June
Many of you know I have been training hard in the sea in recent months for my next challenge. I know lots of you sponsored me for the Swimathon earlier in the year in the pool and I really appreciate your support. I shall next be taking on a 1.4 mile sea swimming challenge on June 27th at Bournemouth between the piers. This will be my longest swim in the sea to date in a sea temperature of around 16 degrees! Fundraising is for the British Heart Foundation this time. If any of you are able to sponsor, me even for a small amount, I would really appreciate it. We all know someone who has had some form of heart condition, and the research and support the BHF provide is life-changing for so many.

Stronger for Longer Masterclass
Our latest ‘Stronger for Longer’ master class was a huge success. So much so that I’m already fully booked for this masterclass again in July, and am planning to run it for a third time at the end of September – date tbc. Please let me know if you are interested. For those who haven’t read my news article about this masterclass, it can be found here along with some nice photos: https://www.janem.co.uk/2026/05/stronger-for-longer-pilates-masterclass/
Group Pilates Classes
For those of you who haven’t been to class recently, I still have limited spaces on some of my classes. Numbers can change weekly of course, so if you are thinking about coming back to class, please keep an eye on my Availability page here: https://www.janem.co.uk/availability/
That’s all for now. Enjoy the wonderful summer ahead of us!
Happiness and health
