Ania Snyman was our winner of the lucky draw for a free June – Congratulations!

On the 27th and 28th of May I attended the Booty Barre Certification Course in Johannesburg. It was a tough weekend with 20 hours of full-blast training, and I could clearly see why there are only 10 certified Booty Barre instructors in our country! But it was an amazing experience and I can`t wait to share everything with you. A special word of thanks to Hardies for strengthening our Barre in a jiffy. Gerhard and Ilne, I really, really appreciate you!

I don`t think many of you have noticed, but our sound system has also been upgraded – thank you Anton for going through so much trouble helping me to perfect the sound quality in our studio.

Please take note of a few very beneficial changes regarding our fees. Members who pay their R280 membership fee may book their spots for the Pilates and Booty Barre classes in advance for only R20 per class. The Thursday morning Pilates class is still open to all members, and the fee for a pay as you go” class is R30 (for members). Those who are already on the waiting list also pay R20.

The only changes on our workout schedule for June is the new Booty Barre time slot on a Monday at 16.00. Remember, your wishes are my command – feel free, always, to voice your suggestions and concerns. The studio will be closed on the Public holiday, Friday the 16th of June.

Most of our contestants in the year challenge are also still going strong. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, patience and determination. I salute you, and am so proud of you!

Elsje and Elanza – THANK YOU!!! You are punctual, precise, pretty and prepared.

We would like to invite all our Zumba kids` parents to our Kids Zumba class on Wed the 21st of June. (Not to dance along…☺, to get a glimpse of what we do every Wednesday at 14.30 )

The container with our shipment of ZIVA power pump bars has been cleared at customs, and will soon arrive at the Matrix warehouse in Johannesburg. I`ll keep you posted…! Remember, the studio will be open during the school holidays!!!

The successful American Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey once said: “There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet.” Being able to see the possibility, not know exactly how to get there and to go for it anyway is a strength and an amazing asset. Good luck to everyone who has signed up for our Winter Challenge. It won`t be easy, but, again it will be worth it. Remember, with every challenge we face in life we have a choice…Will you choose to cringe, or CONQUER…?

Yours in fitness
