Sometimes, when happiness is in short supply, every bit of positivity counts.
Last week in class - as I was quietly 'encouraging' them to work harder - someone said to me at the end "thank you for not treating us like old people".
I went home absolutely chuffed with this.
Just because you may be classed as 'old' (WHAT EVEN IS THAT ANYWAY??), it does not mean that you are a fragile little person who is not allowed to take up space, move freely, push yourself, and sweat a lot.
Yes, there are times when we should take things a bit easier, rest an injury, or do things slightly differently, but we should all be pushing ourselves to work slightly outside of our comfort zone - and our classes are exactly the right space for you to safely challenge yourself and find the right level for you.
And myself, Jenny, and Dani are your team of cheerleaders - with you every step of the way.

Copied from a fellow instructor..
“People say “it’s only one class” but in fitness, one cancellation isn’t just one space.
If 3 people drop off a small group PT block, that can be the difference between profit and loss.
If 5 members pause in a community class, that can wipe out the instructor’s wage for that session.
If attendance dips for a few weeks, venues question timetables. Timetables shrink. Opportunities disappear.
Commercial gym or community hall… it’s the same truth.
Fitness instructors don’t just “turn up.”
They plan sessions.
They programme safely.
They pay insurance.
They invest in qualifications.
They arrive early.
They stay late.
Most trainers aren’t backed by big corporations. Many are self employed. When numbers dip, income dips instantly.
That small decision to:
• Show up
• Stay consistent
• Recommend your class
• Tag your coach
…can literally keep a class alive.
Community fitness especially is fragile. It keeps older adults moving. It gives parents an outlet. It supports mental health. It builds friendships. When numbers fall, those spaces disappear quietly.
Support your trainer.
Support your local classes.
Support the people who show up for you week after week.
Because humans don’t bond with apps.
They bond with people.
And sometimes the smallest show of support makes the biggest difference. 💪”

Hi! I’m Melissa and I’m the owner of SimplyFit Berkshire.

I’m a Fitness Trainer and a Pilates Instructor.

I’ve over-eaten and under-exercised over Christmas.

Do I let it get me down?

No.

But I also know that I feel much better in myself when I keep moving and eat more healthily.

Will I start the New Year on a fad diet in order to drop the excess weight and ‘detox’?

Also, no.

I’ll just get back to my old routine of daily exercise and staying within or near my calorie allowance, and sure enough I’ll start to feel like my old self again.

Are you looking for a Fitness or Pilates class in your area which goes hand in hand with a great support network, a chance to meet like minded people, and instructors who meet you where you are and understand how you feel?

Come and join us in the New Year to find yourself again and bee the very best version of YOU.
