Summer Plans 2020…..
SUMMER PLANS @ STUDIO36
As am sure most of you would agree, we definitely all need a break over the next couple of months. Mentally it has been a tough old time for most, some more than others.
We don’t need to tell you this summer is different, we cannot manage our normal routine and we want to make the right decisions for all and be there for you if you choose to continue Pilates through the summer.
HERE ARE OUR THOUGHTS…
The current run of 4 Zoom classes takes us up to Friday 10th July. The following week commencing 13th July, the studio WILL BE CLOSED.
Total break. NO ZOOM CLASSES/1-1’s etc.
The studio is also closed the week commencing 31st August and classes will resume Monday 7th September..(maybe IN the studio??)
For the SIX weeks from Monday 20th July to Friday 28th August we are planning to keep a steady schedule available to clients as best we can.
This takes into account many different factors….
1. None of us are likely to be escaping too far on holiday. The beauty of Zoom of course is that you can do Pilates pretty much anywhere you have Wi-Fi, and not many clients are planning holidays in the outback of Australia this summer! However if you DO escape to e.g. Portugal we ALL want to see your villa/apartment/hotel so we can live the dream with you!
2. There has been a very healthy response to Zoom classes, continuity feels right, as return to ‘studio classes’ is most likely a wee way off and at best will be staggered.
3. We are still in the challenging transition phase of emerging out of L (cant even say it now!)….and hopefully the routine and regular contact with fellow class members continues to be both mentally and physically beneficial. The ‘feel good‘ factor after your Pilates session hopefully helps to alleviate a bit of accumulated stress..
HOW IS THIS SUMMER GOING TO BE DIFFERENT?
How do we change it up and keep the energy, motivation and very important movement going, while appreciating schedules are often different over the summer?
1. For this six week period we are going to run shorter 45minute sessions ...which will be at a REDUCED RATE of £7.50. At this stage we will try to keep the schedule the same, except times may be jiggled slightly if two classes are back to back.
2. We also have a grand idea to record a video of a Pilates workout which will be available (hopefully through website) when your teacher is off (no cost to you but a good thing for us to learn how to do..might need a little practice!)
3. We are hoping to have a UNIVERSAL LINK to all classes throughout this six week period so make up classes and extra drop-in classes are much easier to manage. More details on this to follow. Which means that if prior notice* is given and there is capacity in another class you can swap in/ make up a class easily. We will honestly try to be as flexible as possible.
4. If you are paid up in a block, single drop in sessions are available to book (where there’s capacity) if you fancy an extra class during the week.
NOTE: *Prior notice needs to be given to check availability, class suitability and any medical conditions etc..ie don’t just turn up!
SUMMARY (actually just repeating it again!)
Our normal 10 week blocks will continue to be ongoing, so no separate payment required, but credit will only be used the weeks your teacher is ZOOMING. (see below)
All Zoom classes will be 45 minutes, and credit of £7.50 used per class. This would mean one class a week over the summer would cost a total of £45 max. (Unless in Ali’s class where it’s a lot less as she’s on holiday for two weeks!)
For current clients where there is capacity ‘drop in’ classes are available but as normal by prior arrangement with Ali or the teacher.
Classes will be continuing throughout the summer (EXCEPT WEEK OF 13th JULY and 31st AUGUST - STUDIO CLOSED)
Private sessions and 2:1s are still available to book, again with Zoom, but possibly in the studio over Summer if we are allowed.
Confirmed teacher holiday dates below- but they MAY alter slightly. (looks like I’m a slavedriver but honestly their choice !!)
Ali : 27/7 to 7/8/20 ( 2 weeks!) plus 13th July/31st August week
Megan : 9/7 to 10/7 (2 days) plus 13th July/31st August week
Jayne : 13th July/31st August week
Any questions let us know! We will update you with any further news regularly.
Thanks,
Ali , Megan and Jayne
NB Stephanie still very alive and kicking but Zooming her clients separately! She will be back in the fold soon...
