July Update

Hi all,

Oops I missed a month! Well, we're right in the middle of winter and I want to say a big "well done!" to those of you are still getting out and exercising, especially those that turn up at 6am for Early Riser's. Some of the mornings have been really cold until we get warmed up. We've had the shortest day, so each day gets a little longer now and each day brings us closer to the warm weather again, although the increasingly crazy spring weather is still to come!! It might be cold but we still need to keep moving to stay fit and healthy so make a booking!!

And as I've said previously, stay tuned, lots more on the way!


Prams on Facebook

In case you're not already aware, Prams has its own page on Facebook - I use this page to share hints, tips and other interesting information. So jump on and become a friend!!


Early Risers - Mon 2nd August - Friday 10th September. This program takes us into Spring! $15 per session

There will be a one week break between the end of the current program and the start of the next one to give all the regular's a break. Details below.

*******Also, introduce a friend to Early Riser's and receive 2 sessions free when you book your next program. (Friend must book a minimum of 10 sessions).*******

Booking Details:

  • Choose which sessions you like and/or which days suit you best - 1, 2 or 3 days per week. Add up the number of sessions you've chosen and multiply by $15 for a total cost.
  • Send through your bookings to me. I will forward account details for payment if you don't already have them. Payment is required at the time of booking to secure your place.
  • The idea is not to choose different days each week - rather to provide the flexibility to choose the sessions you prefer on the days that suit your timetable rather than the previously prescribed Mon/Wed/Fri or Tues/Thurs.
  • Maximum number of participants per session is 12 (15 on Wednesday-Cardio).
  • Preference will be given to people that book for all 6 weeks.
  • Spots cannot be reserved. Payment is required at the time of booking.

Please note:

  • All sessions run from 6 - 6.45am.
  • This Early Riser's program will be held entirely at Percey Treyvaud Memorial Park, Chadstone Rd, Malven East
  • A maximum of 1 missed sessions per 5 booked may be made up at any Prams in the Park or ER session (subject to availability) within 4 weeks of the end of the program.
  • Cancellations must be advised by 4pm the day before to be eligible for a catchup session.
  • Early Riser's sessions may only be attended by you, the registered participant.
  • Prams in the Park sessions/credit may not be used to pay for Early Riser's.
  • Early Riser's is not suitable if pregnant and is a child free program.


Session Descriptions:

Monday & Tuesday:
Boxing: A drill based full body workout using boxing & kickboxing techniques combined with some strength training. You will learn punching, kicking & knees as you get your heart rate up! A great workout for burning fat, getting fit & relieving a bit of stress!

Wednesday:
Cardio Session: A challenging cardio session that is sure to get you working hard and push your limits. We have had great success with this session lately with all regular clients showing marked improvement in their running capabilities, both sprint and endurance. This session is always different. Including sprint drills, medium distance running, team activites and even speed ladder drills! Great for people who hate running as the work is broken up and varied so its over before you know it! Also great for those who already run and want to get a little faster or mix things up a bit. You'll know you've worked out after this session!

Thursday & Friday:
Strength Circuit: my timed, circuit style strength session guarantees a great workout that you'll feel for days.

Gardener available

If any of you are looking for someone to maintain your garden, please let me know. My friend "Pagey" has looked after my garden (and some of yours as well) for years. He's cheap as chips and does a great job. Let me know if you'd like his number.


Prams Gift Voucher

What a great gift idea!!! Contact me if you're interested in buying a Prams in the Park gift voucher for someone special.

May Update

Hi all,

Well, I think summer has finally ended. However, the weather is still not bad so I'm not moving us to Percey Treyvaud just yet. Please make sure you check you phone before each session for a change of location text from me. When we do move I'll send a specific email and ask you all for a response.

Martine xx
