1 December 2017 Highdown Sport and Leisure Christmas Term Aspire & Achieve News Christmas is already upon us and we are starting to enjoy the festive season, celebrating with family and friends. Whilst we all love a good feast and party it often results in the firm New Year s resolutions to get fit and lose weight, so it s not surprising that many people struggle to maintain a healthy focus in December. We can all identify with the following at this time of year. I m too busy with the Christmas preparations to fit exercise into my day I love Christmas but I know I overdo the eating and drinking I ll make up for it in January and amend the effects of the festivities. Let us help you maintain that focus over the festive season with the extended opening hours over the holidays and bring along the family for the public swim sessions. January 2018 we are bringing yoga by Kate Cullum in house. Such as we love yoga and all the benefits it brings Kate has agreed to join our team. So make sure you come along and try out the class. On behalf of all the staff at HSL we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Dorothy Company School Business Manager (now where are those mince pies?...) Duty Manager To celebrate the New Year we have a new promotion giving a special discount out to all new members starting 1 January There will be no initial joining fee taking of nearly 20% of the price. Members can use the excellent gym facilities as well as the pool for only per month. This would make for a wonderful Christmas present as it means you can enjoy as many mince pies as you want!
