The Summer Buzz!

Hey, Sarah here. Just wanted to keep you posted with what we've been up to over the past couple of months in Bangkok. Well, normally during the summer it's a quiet time for us trainers with our clients and schools on holiday…we can relax a little, slow down and chill out… However, this summer we've been busy with a number of things we would like to share with you…

Firstly, a few weeks ago, the team and I (Martina, Tukkae, Ake and Bum) headed to Lumpini Park to sponsor Shrewsbury International School's annual FUN RUN! It was nice to see so many children, parents and teachers joining in the races. We took the mini trampoline along which kept the little ones entertained whilst they waited for their race. It was a stifling hot morning and everyone did well to finish their race!

With the Olympics on it's way; The Bangkok Post have been doing a number of features on sport and exercise to get everyone revved up, fighting fit and in the Olympic mood. The Bangkok Post Magazine interviewed us about our home personal training as an alternative to health and fitness clubs. The interview was in last week's edition (Thurs 10th) which has been great promotion for the company and we've accumulated more clients in the past week from it which is fantastic! Also, watch this space for September's edition of 'Calendar' expat magazine that we will also be promoted in, thanks to one of our new clients!

We also did our first major Corporate Wellness Workshops with Sara Lee which was a huge success. Some of them told us they hadn't exercised in years and weren't sure what to expect. We put them through some circuit training, a series of yoga, Pilates and aerobics. After a vigorous hour, they looked truly exhausted but commented on how much they did (believe it or not) enjoy it and how better they felt afterwards. It was fun taking time out to do this and hope they'll be more company workshops in the future.

In case some of you haven't met two of our new team members, I would like to warmly welcome Khun Bum and Jacinta. Bum has been working for us over a month now and Jacinta just joined us last week from Perth, Australia. It's been a sad few weeks saying goodbye to my loyal clients after two years but I can leave you in safe hands with Bum and Jacinta to continue your training whilst I join Russell in Shanghai to expand the business there. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you again in the future!

Finally, in case there are a few parents out there tearing their hair out with the kids during the school holidays we are still running our SUMMER CAMP with a number of different activities (ballet, Latin and ballroom, yoga, Pilates, tennis, swimming and more…) till Aug so you can contact me or Martina for more details and we can take them off your hands…well, only for an hour or so!

That's all for now, keep up the training! I'll see you soon
