NEWSLETTER - July 2009

Four and a half years ago, The Movement Refinery started in my parent's beautiful residence in North Adelaide, South Australia. I never knew what was down the track but was inspired by the dedication and joy with which my clients imbued their movement and exercise.

Countless sessions down the track, I am based mainly at my new studio in Carlton, just outside the CBD of Melbourne, which offers GYROTONIC®, Pilates and Gyrokinesis. In December 2009 I will close my beloved city studio after four wonderful years. It has been such a journey launching my business in Victoria and meeting so many wonderful friends and clients through the studio.

We are blessed with a great space and natural energy here on Cardigan Street with a leafy outlook and room to move inside! The Carlton studio is the culmination of my work so far. It has incorporated my former second studio (GYROTONIC® Clifton Hill) and brought in many new Pilates fans.

From July 1, I will teach at the city studio on Wednesdays from 7am through to 730pm. Liz Hewett will move across to the Carlton studio and maintain her Thursday schedule.

GYROKINESIS® classes will begin in July for current clients only. These classes will act as the studio's charitable donation to a worthy cause. The purpose of these classes is to give something to both my clients and also to the community. Why not get together once or twice a week and move a little while thinking about others?

I am very exciting about the coming year of growth for The Movement Refinery. There will be some new equipment coming along for both Pilates and GYROTONIC® clients, which will keep us all moving and shaking with enthusiasm. Within the next few months, our diary will be available online using the remarkable software, MindBodyOnline. This will give our clients the option of booking in and changing classes remotely (with studio approval), making online payments and updating contact details too. This will help focus your precious time in the studio on your physical pursuits and less on administration.

Thank you for continuing to support the studios through this period of economic uncertainty, your dedication to your physical training provides each us teachers with sustenance to continue.

Warm winter regards,
Nicholas
