Falling into good habits...
I can't quite believe how quickly this year has gone, as we arrive here in October. It has been brilliant to see so many of you in classes throughout September, and I know those of you that went for September sun abroad are keen to get back on your return! We held our first ever Pilates and Prosecco afternoon at the weekend, which went down very well with everyone that attended and was a lovely way to slow down and enjoy a chance to combine movement with laughter and friendship.
As always, I continue to listen to feedback and make changes where I feel helpful to make our classes work better for you, so I am trialling 2 new changes to our online classes. Firstly our Saturday Zoom class will now be recorded, so if you want to do this class but the time doesn't quite work for you, I can send the link after the live class has ended. Secondly, I am moving the Strength and Stability class time to 9am (from 12pm) as I know a lot of you prefer to get your workouts done so you can enjoy the rest of your day. I do welcome feedback, so if you have any ideas for future tweaks to our timetable (no promises but I will always try!) then email at shevolutionfit@gmail.com
Next term we are running our much loved Winter Wind Down evening in Wootton on Friday 11th December (see below for full details and how to book).
Finally, please take a careful look at this term's class dates, as there are a couple of scheduling anomalies that could catch you out.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Wind down with us...
December can be a magical month, but it can also feel very fraught, with prep to do and a lot of hustle and bustle! This is why we created our Winter Wind Down evenings, so you can step away from it all and nourish your mind and body with some beautiful movement in a room lit by fairy lights, followed by some warm cacao and a chance to snuggle in a blanket, taking a moment for yourself. Book your space now and give yourself an early gift you will really thank yourself for! Use EARLYBIRD10 to get 10% off when you book before 31st October (Full price ticket £20)
Why Autumn is the perfect time to build strength...
As the leaves begin to change colour and new routines settle into place, autumn offers the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. While many people wait until January to focus on their health, September and October can actually be one of the best times to build healthy habits that will carry you through the winter months.
For women in their 40s, 50s and beyond, strength becomes increasingly important. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass and bone density, which can affect our balance, mobility and overall confidence in everyday activities. The good news is that regular movement, Pilates and strength training can help maintain and even improve these areas (it is never too late!)
The best part? You don't need to spend hours exercising to see benefits. Small, consistent actions can make a huge difference. A weekly Pilates class, a couple of short strength sessions, regular walks and prioritising good sleep can all contribute to feeling stronger and more energised.
This autumn, try shifting your focus away from the scales and towards what your body can do. Can you carry your shopping more easily? Climb stairs without feeling out of breath? Get up and down from the floor with confidence? These are the things that truly support long-term health and independence.
As we head into the colder months, I encourage you to choose one simple habit to focus on. It might be attending a Pilates class each week, adding a strength workout to your routine, taking a daily walk, or practising balance exercises while boiling the kettle.
Autumn is a season of preparation. The strength, mobility and healthy habits you build now will help you feel your best throughout winter and beyond.
And if you've still not give our Strength and Stability 30 min class a go, why not book a session and see what strength training can do for you? With our new time of 9am from next term, it could be the perfect start to your day!
Can't make Wednesdays 9am? No problem - we send you the recording to catch up at a time that works for you.
