Good morning,

 

Keep Fit with Paula is returning on Monday 21^st September 2020. We have a, brand new timetable which is subject to change and will be reviewed monthly. Due to the success of online fitness classes this will now become part of my business. This gives you the choice of whether you attend a face to face class, online or both. This means you will be able to access online workouts 365 days of the year so when the business is closed you can still workout at your convenience and even take me on holiday with you 😉 😉

 

My commitment to you is to provide a first-class service and I am introducing a monthly membership offering two packages to suit you. As class numbers will be reduced due to Government Guidelines you will need to book your fitness class(es) as you cannot just turn up.

 

Class bookings
I am using a system called Gymcatch. This can be accessed via the following
1. Book from my website www.keepfitwithpaula.co.uk going live Monday 14 September from midnight
2. Download the Gymcatch app – live now
Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gymcatch.android.prod
IOS - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/id919203926
3. Book from the Gymcatch website on your laptop, Ipad etc https://app.gymcatch.com/ live now
From your laptop, Ipad or phone go to BOOK, it will then ask you for a Fitness Provider, type in Keep Fit with Paula and follow the instructions to schedule the class.

Please do not panic regarding using the new booking method. If you are unsure, I am available to help/guide you through the process. I can chat to you over the phone, arrange to meet up (social distance) or if you attend with a friend and they are proficient using technology they can book you onto the class(es) or a family member could do it for you.

 

Memberships
Bronze Membership £26 a month – entitles you to one fitness class a week of your choice from the timetable. You can vary your class each week.
Silver Membership £36 a month – unlimited access to all classes face to face and online. Online classes are via a private Facebook group and will be live as per the Keep Fit with Paula timetable. They are recorded so you can enjoy a workout at a time that suits you and there are pre-recorded workouts to choose from as well.

 

Monthly payments – standing orders
Payment will be made via standing order through your bank and this will be set up via yourself.
Your standing order needs to start the first day you attend class.
Please notify me of your standing order so that I can add you as a member on the Gymcatch booking site. It is important you let me know you are purchasing a membership because all bookings for classes are now via Gymcatch.
 

10 Class Card Pass
For those who have purchased a 10-class card pass. They can still be used and are valid until 23/12/2020. When completed membership will be required. Please bring your card pass with you to class and your own pen so you can mark your card in the presence of the instructor. You will not be able to participate in the class without the card and booking your place is still essential.

 

PARQ
All class participants need to complete and sign a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. On the PARQ I ask people for their email address as this is my method of communication regarding information relevant to Keep Fit with Paula i.e. class timetable/changes, class cancellations or updates. The alternative is to check my website www.keepfitwithpaula.co.uk

 

Newsletter
A newsletter is sent via email twice a week. Monday is information relating to Keep Fit with Paula and Friday is a tip for fitness, health and wellness plus a healthy recipe. Your email address will be entered onto my mailing system and you will receive a link to subscribe and there is one available to unsubscribe at any time. No email addresses are passed on to third party companies.

 

Equipment
You will need to bring your own mat and if you want to purchase your own equipment below is what you need for classes as no equipment is available for the time being. The equipment is optional.

Pilates - bender ball, resistance band (long), block and a mini loop band.
Yoga - if you have your own block and/ or yoga strap, bring with you
All other classes - resistance band (long), mini loop band, hand weights.
My advice is to wait until we return to class and I will see what everyone wants as it might be cheaper for me to purchase in bulk rather than individually.

Rules and guidelines

At the Torkington Centre, social distance markers will be placed in the room so you know where to stand. 2 metres for all classes apart from Zumba which is 3 metres.

Attendance sheets will be kept by all instructors for each class for track and trace purposes.

After each session instructors will clean all touch points in the room and toilets.

A 10 minute gap is in place for back to back classes for cleaning.

At the Torkington Centre, there is a one way system in place. You will enter via the main entrance and leave via the fire exit nearest to the car park. This is so there is no crossover for back to back classes. You will leave one row at a time. One person to use the toilet at one time keeping social distancing.
Norbury Church – you will enter via the main door from the carpark and all internal doors will be open and need to be left open. Once the class has finished in the Legh room you will follow the one-way system going through to the Ryan room down the corridor and out of the main door. Disabled toilet only to be used.
 

No queuing on entry and only arrive 5 minutes before the start of the class.

Please bring your own mat/equipment, if you are using equipment.

Please use the hand sanitiser station on entry and exit.

If you miss a class due to sickness or holiday, you can book on the following week, as long, as there is a space.

All personal information I collect will be used solely by me and you reserve the right to request a copy of all data I hold about you at any time. 

If an instructor needs to cancel a class due to illness or bad weather particularly if it is not safe to travel or the car parks are not safe an email will be sent.

If you cannot attend class(es) due to Covid19 please let me know immediately and I will discuss with you your options regarding your membership.
