This post is all about some of the changes happening at Balance Studio in Newark when we return after the summer break.

Balance Summer Closure

Our last classes before the summer break are on Thursday 9th August, and then we re-open for classes on Monday 3rd September.

Afternoon classes will start earlier

When we come back in September, the times of our afternoon classes will change slightly:
• 1.15pm to 2.15pm classes will run from 1pm to 2pm
• 2.30pm to 3.30pm classes will run from 2.15pm to 3.15pm
• 3.45pm to 4.45pm classes will run from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.
The evening classes remain unchanged, at 6-7pm and 7-8pm.

Change of Teacher

Pippa will be taking over my 11.30am Healthy Backs 4 Life class on a Thursday.

Pippa will also be taking over the Thursday afternoon Improvers class that Helen currently teaches (remember this will start at 1pm from September).

Class Dates and Fees

We’ve managed to keep the monthly class price the same for the fifth consecutive year – £36 for Pilates classes and £43 for HB4L classes when paid for by monthly direct debit – and again, there are classes for 41 weeks of the year. Click here to view class dates.

For those of you who don’t attend a class but are thinking about joining us, we run a monthly payment system at Balance – this entitles you to your allocated place in your weekly class. Whatever day of the week your class is, you will receive 41 classes: all holidays, bank holidays etc are taken into account and are NOT paid for.

We work out the annual cost of classes and then divide by 12 to get the monthly amounts – this means that you pay the same amount each month, even though the number of classes per month may vary.

Private Sessions with Pippa

There will be a slight increase in the cost of sessions with Pippa from September:
• Initial consultation (~75 minutes) – £65
• Subsequent sessions (~60 minutes) – £55.
This is the first price increase for sessions with Pippa. I hope you’ll agree with me that sessions with Pippa still offer excellent value for money as she is a fully qualified Physiotherapist as well as a Pilates and low back pain expert.

You can buy blocks of sessions too in order to keep the cost down:
• Block of 4 – £200
• Block of 6 – £280
• Block of 10 – £450

Or you can beat the price increase by taking advantage of our special offer and book a block of 4 private sessions with Pippa for £199 (this includes a beginner Pilates manual so you can continue to practise at home).
