Gently Fit Pilates

New class break dates for 2026

_ BREAKING NEWS——URGENT ATTENTION PLEASE

This morning I have received a message from The Whitehouse in Washington it reads the following:-

"It has come to the attention of President Donald J Trump that the classes running in Pagham/Aldwick (UK) under the name of Gently Fit Pilates - are considered the best in the land, in fact the best in the world. Every one is saying they are the best, no one else runs classes like them. Mr Trump now remembers that he actually set these classes up some years ago with the current owner and therefore requests that the organisation is renamed. Please note that from now on Gently Fit Pilates will be called “Donald J Trump Pilates”. You know it makes sense?

Thank you for your attention on this matter,
Donald J Trump”

Well that’s the last Class of 2025 done and dusted. Thank you to all my lovely Gently Fitters for your attendance this year.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year.
PS - £50 raised for The Cat and Rabbit Rescue - YAY 👋👋👋

Weight training in menopause: the stats are in.

Menopause fitness specialists have been talking for years about the importance of weight/resistance training to keep your body healthy when your hormones decline, but the University of Exeter recently put some meat on the claims.

More than 70 women took part in a study, where one group simply exercised, and the other group completed a resistance training programme.

Compared to the general exercise group, the resistance training group experienced:
19% increase in hip function and lower body strength
21% increase in full-body flexibility
10% increase in dynamic balance, mobility, and stability

First-of-its-kind study shows resistance training can improve physical function during menopause A resistance-based exercise programme that Jennifer Aniston calls “a game changer” has been shown to improve a range of physical issues that arise during and after the menopause transition. New research from the University of

A very Happy New Year Gently Fitters. Looking forward to seeing you all back at class from Monday 6th January 2025.

At our pre-Christmas Fayre on Wednesday 18th we managed to raise just over £100 which was split between The Cat and Rabbit Rescue and Lavant Ward at St Richards Hospital for Stroke recovery patients. Well done to the clever girls who made cakes and crafts and thank you to all who came along and/or supported the worthy causes.
