NEWSLETTER JULY 2018

In his book “Travels with Charley”, famous writer John Steinbeck says: “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness…” Yeek, we ARE indeed going to appreciate the sweet warm summer this year a bit more. It`s almost as if we want to yell: “Hey winter, we`ve had some great times, we`ve laughed AND shivered, but I think it`s time we take a break…! You are a beauty to look at, but lately you`ve been coming on just a little too strong….”

And still we`ve had the busiest, liveliest July holiday EVER, and I`m so proud of everyone who has braved the darkness and cold weather to stick to their workout schedules.

A warm welcome to all our new members and a few dear returning ones: Elsie Mmoledi

One of the world`s best-selling and best-loved children`s authors who ever lived was Beatrix Potter. She wrote and illustrated 28 books translated into more than 35 languages and sold over 150 million copies. She once said: “There's something delicious about writing those first few words of a story. You can never quite tell where they will take you. Mine took me here, where I belong.

Today I really want to thank you all for all the positive energy you bring to our studio and for acting as if it`s a place where you feel at home and where YOU belong. It means the world to me. So many of you are prove that adding positivity inspire change. May you all keep on choosing, every day to take care of yourself and attract whatever you set your mind to accomplishing. Keep on believing that you can create what you want. For in the end it`s up to you and you alone to make your story one worth telling and one that will be remembered.

Yours in fitness Mirna
