Circuits

We will be running three circuit classes per week in the studio: Wednesday at 10am, Friday at 10am, and Saturday at 2pm.

We have also opened up the gym for personal use between 12pm and 2pm Monday to Friday, and from 10am-2pm Saturday (£5 per session).

For personal gym use at other times please phone or email to check availability.

Cardio in the Studio

F.I.S.H. is moving ahead with exapnasion over the next few weeks. We are improving booking and admin systems, including installing a studio phone, broadband, computer booking system, cash register and credit card terminal.

We have also ordered an industry standard Life Fitness stationary bike to improve warm ups, cool downs, and add to our cardio options for performance training and fat loss.

We have taken out adverts in a forthcoming NHS health publication that will be distributed to hospitals, GP surgeries, health clinics etc around Sussex. We have also taken out an advert in the Eastbourne "Well Being" magazine.

Our new flyers are back from the printers and starting to be distributed. We are also finalising a Presentation to take out to Primary Healthcare providers. This details our Exercise Referral programme and features our exclusive 12 week programme of training, nutrition and education designed to equip clinets referred by healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and motivational tools for sustainable life style change and independent progressive exercise.

We will be accepting referrals with difficulties relating to:

obesity, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, mental illness, arthritis, rheumatism, muscular/joint pain, low self esteem etc. Clients referred for stand alone sessions by a healthcare practitioner will be entitled to a 20% discount. The 12 week programme will cost £50 per week or £500 if paid in full in advance. For more details contact Derek on 07871760054 or email fishfitness@tiscali.co.uk

Body Sculpting at F.I.S.H.

If you want to create a lean, toned look we can help you to lose fat and refine your physique. Body Sculpting is different to Body Builidng in that the aim is to hone and refine your physique without necessarily adding masses of muscle.

For men the ideal might be similar to the older eras of bodybuilding or the aesthetic ideal represented by Franz Zane. For women figure fitness competitors, such as Monica Brant, could provide you with appropriate models.

F.I.S.H. Update

We've been expanding our client base steadily over the past few months and have finally decided to run with this. Consequently we've just placed an advert with the Friday Ad and have also committed to a large spread in a forthcoming NHS publication which will have a massive distribution over the next 12 months.

Melody and Derek are half way through Body for Life and have been joined by Jo & Caz. A number of others look set to register too.

As an aid to training goals we've expanded our range of supplements and will be placing weekly orders to Tropicana who stock most of the big brands.

Classes at F.I.S.H.

Melody is now offering a number of classes at F.I.S.H. - see the left hand panel for details. Studio based classes are limited to 6 people so it's essential to book in advance. In addition to the popular weight loss support groups we now offer Boxercise, Fitness Walking, and an outdoor training group for mums (babies and kids welcome).

Classes are a great way to meet new people, achieve your fitness and weight goals and receive expert advice and instruction at low cost.

done my practical assessment today and passed very nicely so just the theory to go now and I can start to train people. Thanks to Michelle for being my "victim". She did very well and worked her socks off on every exercise. The assessor was a very nice chap who did everything he could to make us all feel relaxed and he basically just let me get on with it. Looking forward to getting the rest done now so I can get back to focusing on my own training again.

F.I.S.H. & Fat Loss

Strange times have been afoot at FISH of late. Derek has been absent a lot due to increasing his involvement with the Eating Disorders project for the Trust. This has left Melody doing the brunt of the training. A number of regular clients dropped out over the past month due to other commitments and things looked grim for a while. However, Derek and Melody registered for Body for Life and decided to use the extra time to focus on their own goals. Almost immediately old clients started coming back and new ones appeared! Personal Training is often like that - it tends to run in cycles (and seasons).

There are now five of us doing Body for Life and the results are already good (Derek has lost nearly 3% body fat, most of it in the last two weeks). We've also been keeping "body blogs" on bodybuilding.com and have had a lot of support from other mmbers there.

Mark Jobbins continues to build up his own client base and is proving very successful. He's becoming a bit of a regular feature at the studio.

Good luck to Melody, Jo, Caz, Sheree (and the BN23 clan) with Body for Life etc. Hopefully we'll post some update pictures here over the next couple of months.
