Hello everyone Welcome to the new people who have joined a Do Fitness class recently. Many of you have commented on how friendly everyone is. Thank you to everyone who has made new people feel so welcome. It is so incredibly important. Fiona and I had a stand at Leyland Festival and spoke to a lot of people during the day about exercise options. The message is- there is always something for everyone. We were a bit cold though! It wasn’t a particularly a warm sunny day.. Saturday 13 July There will be no Pilates on Saturday 13 July but Fiona will take Nordic Walking on Worden Park. I am at my lovely nephew’s wedding. New Longton class dates Due to an event at the hall there will be no New Longton classes on 29 July and 5 August. The regular classes are Chairfit 3.45pm and Pilates 4.30pm on Mondays at New Longton Methodist Church Hall. Christmas Do. Yes – this year there will be 3 options: 1) Rivington Hall Barn Tuesday 26 November -12 to 4pm 2) lunch in Leyland date and place undecided 3) an evening pub get together in Leyland. The reason I am talking about Christmas in July is that the Rivington Barn Christmas parties are so popular we need to book by the end of July. If you would like to come to Rivington Hall Barn please pay a £5 deposit by the end of July. Here is a flavour of what the Rivington Hall Barn is like: www.rivingtonhallbarn.co.uk/events/party-nights/christmas-new-year/ Parkinson’s and exercise There are now quite a few people with Parkinson’s attending Do Fitness classes especially Circuits, Seated Pilates and Chairfit. Exercise is very important and again it is finding what suits you. Here is a clip explaining more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikY9WpmekRY&t=5s Summer Holidays The Do Fitness summer holiday is from Tuesday 20 August and we start back on Tuesday 27 August -the day after the Bank Holiday. There will be no classes on and from Tuesday 20 August until we start back on Tuesday 27 August. Syrian Bistro South Ribble Borough Council have set up a scheme as part of the refugee resettlement programme called the Syrian Bistro at Café Rococco. It is a monthly event at Saturday lunchtime and tickets costs £16. I have booked on 27 July.It is really hard to start all over again in a new culture with a new language having lost your home, neighbourhood and maybe even family members. https://www.southribble.gov.uk/Leylands-New-Syrian-Bistro 12 for 10 books of tickets for Zumba and Nordic Walking These are now available on the web-site or you can buy them in class. Great for people who do a few classes a week- it reduces the price down to £4.16 per class from £5. Look forward to seeing you soon. x Diane CLASS TIMETABLE – for Nordic Walking see www.dofitness.org/nordic-walking MONDAYS 9.30am Circuits Leyland Methodist Turpin Green Lane Leyland PR25 3HA 10.30am Pilates Leyland Methodist Turpin Green Lane Leyland PR25 3HA (waiting list) 11.30am Fitness 55+ Leyland Methodist Turpin Green Lane Leyland PR25 3HA 1.15pm Chair Fit Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE 2.00pm Pilates Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE 3.45pm Chairfit New Longton Methodist Church Hall, Chapel Lane, New Longton PR4 4AA 4.30pm Pilates New Longton Methodist Church Hall, Chapel Lane, New Longton PR4 4AA TUESDAYS 1.30pm Zumba Gold Eaves Green Community Centre, Eaves Green Road Chorley PR7 3QG 6.30pm Zumba and Tone Leyland Methodist Church Hall Turpin Green Lane Leyland PR25 3HA 7.30pm Pilates Leyland Methodist Church Hall Turpin Green Lane Leyland PR25 3HA WEDNESDAYS 9.30am Zumba Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE 10.30am Pilates Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE 11.30am StarterCircuits Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE 1.30pm Seated Pilates St Ambrose Church Hall Moss Lane Leyland PR25 4XA 2.15pm Pilates St Ambrose Church Hall Moss Lane Leyland PR25 4XA THURSDAYS 1.30pm Zumba Gold Leyland Methodist Church Hall, Turpin Green Lane, Leyland PR253HA 2.15pm Chairfit Leyland Methodist Church Hall, Turpin Green Lane, Leyland PR253HA 7.30pm Pilates Prospect House Sandy Lane Leyland PR25 2EE ( sometimes in Worden Park in the summer.)

Hello everyone
Leyland Festival 15 June – no Nordic Walking that day
It is Leyland Festival this Saturday 15 June- Do Fitness will be there with our usual stand telling people about what we do. Please come and say hello if you are passing. Please let there be fine weather!!
No Nordic Walking on 15 June.
Overcoming MS Conference
I was in Edinburgh last weekend for the Overcoming MS Conference. First of all I had never been to Edinburgh before and it is a beautiful place to visit and I shall go back with the family. The conference was really inspiring and helped me understand in more depth why the protocol is advised and what research it is based on. If you know anyone who has been recently diagnosed and they want to know more about OMS here is the website www.overcomingms.org or they can call me.
