Happy New Year to everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the time off either with friends or family or just relaxing at home. Glad to see some of you still made it into the Gym over the festive period, makes it so much easier in the New Year to continue.
For those who did not manage to get in over the festive period talk to one of us at the club and we will get you back on track. Dan has a very good New Year Programme for everyone who has misses a couple of weeks.
Remember we are always here to help. Need a few changes to your programme a few new ideas we have loads talk to Dan Becky or Chris and get the results you deserve.
Snow
snow snow, Well what a start to the New Year highest snow
fall for years and the temperatures plummeting this snow
will be here for a few days yet. I love the snow but be
careful on the roads as driving in the snow it can be
testing. The initial snow fall made getting down to the Gym
(or back up) impossible so I made the decisions to close
the club. We are back open again now I have had the road
ploughed with a JCB but still is slippy coming down so take
it steady. If we have anymore snow check the website to see
if we are open or ring 01684 772920 I transfer the Gym
phone to my mobile
Refer a friend or family member to the Club and if they
sign up for the year receive a bottle of Champagne from us
to say thanks. The good news is you can refer as many
family and friends to the club as you like and receive a
bottle of bubbly for each sign up. You will then become a
premier member and get you photo on the wall of fame.
We have some great family membership offers with membership
getting cheaper and cheaper the more people you add you
your package. So get your whole family as fit as you are.
Why not book them in for a free trial taster session so
they can see how great Gym & Tonic is.
Congratulations to Peter Bennets cracking his personal
challenge set by the club last month and raised over £160
for Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis in the
Tewkesbury & Cheltenham area.
Peter was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1997
and challenge consisted of travelling 125 miles (5 miles a
day) on a mixture of machines at the club. Peter had to
visit the club twice on some days to complete the challenge
and is a inspiration to us all. Well done Peter.
