As this year’s curtains are slowly coming down, I cannot but acknowledge that 2025 was filled with loads of fun moments that resulted from workouts put together for you. Whether in the water during Aqua, on land, early in the morning or later in the day, my aim has always been to combine purpose with versatility and - a little - enjoyment whilst ensuring that personal conditions are taken care of. I am proud of the hard work you have all put in to help- you grow in strength and balance and co-ordination and resilience. You also be pleased to hear that studies over the past couple of years have confirmed my approach to physical training is exactly what it should be, in particular when it comes to working through midlife. The M - word was dropped plenty of times this year, it was cursed and it brought lots of laughter to our participants as many of them experienced symptoms of menopause and aging bodies at some point through out the year. Whilst flogging oneself may be the preferred way to exercise, during perimenopause and pre/post menopause it is important to acknowledge some of the aches and pains and overwhelms, and to be compassionate with oneself. My Stretch/Mindfulness class continues to offer participants the opportunity to slow down the mind while elongating the body and assure a good nights sleep. If you have not tried it yet and you are looking for ways to activate your body without too much stress and save on Chiro/Osteo costs, I highly recommend Monday nights. 🙂
Whilst we have loyal, long standing members at Feel Good Fitness with Colette, we have also had new members join our super supportive groups this year. Watching their transition into physically, mentally and emotionally stronger human beings has been phenomenal and inspiring to others. I am proud of my Feel Good family. Watching people’s interactions form friendships and being part of a community that shares the joys of life and also the tears and many coffees in between fills me with an enormous amount of gratitude.
I would like to say thank you for your trust in me, for your referrals - be it massage treatments, exercise or Thermomix related. I value your honesty and support more than words can say and look forward to a 2026 filled with many more memorable moments.
May the coming year keep you in good health and allow you to celebrate lots of little and big wins.
Yours,
Colette Gutsch-Berry
