Kapiti xmas club news

Hi and welcome to our xmas edition of Club News.

The year has passed very quickly here at cityfitness Kapiti. We have had a very busy year with many new members joining the club. It has also been great to see many of you, our regular members, in here training hard.

Christmas and the New Year can indicate a time for change, it can also become a time when we are filled with a sense of “new beginnings” and a chance for a fresh start.

For all cityfitness members and potential members the beginning of 2012 can be used as a turning point for change. The gym provides every member with the appropriate environment to begin the journey towards their fitness goals.

Below are some recommendations to consider when setting goals or making New Year Resolutions:

1. Choose a goal with meaning. Make the goal exciting, and consider WHY you want to achieve that goal. What will it mean to you once you’ve reached that goal?
2. Not being perfect is human. Everyone has imperfections, but some people are experiencing love, happiness and prosperity. What is stopping you?
3. Being overly critical of yourself and others stifles your happiness. Silencing your inner critic will make room for more positivity, more action and more self confidence in yourself and those around you.
4. Most importantly, have a recovery plan in place BEFORE you start, this will give you the confidence to move ahead with a safety net already in place.

Above all have FUN, enjoy the journey and be proud of what you’ve achieved so far and how far you've come. Remember, we have a number of fantastic personal trainers available who can help you achieve your goals or get results faster.

Join our exciting group fitness classes. Its exercise in disguise!

A big thank you from our group fitness team for joining us during 2011. We have launched four new releases over the year to ensure you get the variety and challenge your body & mind deserve!

This year we introduced our new group fitness programme, Group Active. This workout combines cardio, strength, balance and flexibility training all in 60 minutes. Zumba continues to draw the crowds; our Litepace classes with Zuri are always well attended; Group Step, Group ride and Group kick are giving you all the cardio programmes you crave; Group power is your must have strength training programme; Group Groove continues to provide the fun cardio dance fitness experience and Group Centergy is the programme you all love that not only works on the body but also the mind.

Early next year we will be launching another great programme Group Core, a 30 minute action packed group training session that will give you a strong core from your shoulders to your hips. It will also improve your athletic performance, reduce back pain and give you ripped abs! Motivating instructors and music will coach you through functional and integrated exercises using your body weight, weight plates, a towel and a platform – all to challenge you like never before. Wow!! We are really looking forward to unleashing this on you all, so watch this space!

We have a revised timetable over the xmas/new years period from 24th December to 3rd of January so get your copy from reception now. Lots of classes to keep you all busy and burn off those extra calories. Our Buggyfit classes will take a break from 22nd December to 13th February 2012 when school goes back.

Finally, the staff here at cityfitness Kapiti wishes you all a very happy Christmas and a great New Year. We look forward to seeing you all back in the gym in 2012.
