14 Sep 2008 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Sydney CBD Term 4 2008 Approaches Well yet again we find ourselves at the end of another Fix term for the year and another fast approaching- this the last for 2008. The team at Fix are now getting the classes and timetable ready for our fourth term for the year. This term will commence on Monday 13th October and finish up in the week prior to Christmas. The term 4 timetable will be posted up in the studio for you to reserve your class places from next week. Your instructors, Katrina, Chris and Sue can assist you with any timetable and class-related questions you may have. Thank you to all of those who have recently given us great feedback about the 45 minute lunchtime classes which were introduced this past term. They have been successful and will therefore remain for coming terms as an alternative to the hour-long classes. Look for them across the week's lunchtime timetable, or let your instructors know if you are keen to enroll in one of these. They are a faster format class are available for Intermediate and Advanced levels only. They cost $270 for the usual term of 10 classes. Remember that we have just restocked our equipment that is available for sale at Fix. There is a mix of thin and thick Pilates mats, small stability balls and swissballs, yoga straps and lengths of theraband. Also in stock now are non-slip sports socks for safe practice of your exercises on the floor- use them at home or in class. Contact Katrina in the office, or ask your instructors for prices or to purchase what you need. Thinking of referring a friend to Fix? Look for the "friend-introduce-friend" flyer in the Fix studio for you to both receive 2 free classes off your term fees! As this will be the final Fixnews for 2008, here are some dates for your diaries for next year. Term 1 2009 will commence on the 27th January. For those of you who are back at work throughout the month of January and would like to get a jump on your exercise prior to term 1, "Summer Fix" will again run this holiday season. It will be a short 3 week term of exercises and will start on the 5th January. Classes will cost $29 each and will be a mix of Intermediate/Advanced in difficulty. Your instructors will talk to you about "Summer Fix" towards the end of Term 4. If you are not attending term 4 but would like to enroll for either "Summer Fix" or term 1 2009, please contact Katrina for your name to go down on the waiting list. Until next time, enjoy the remaining of 2008, and have a fun, but safe Christmas period.
