Fit and Happy Outdoors

 
 
 

This session is aimed at people over 50. Our exercises are gentle but effective. There will be no floor exercises in this session, but you can expect to work hard!

For our Tuesday afternoon strength training sessions, we use our Nordic Walking poles and bungies, and some physio bands. (You can borrow those from me if you are interested.) We also use some hand weights or use water bottles or tins.

This session is great for everyone who wants to get stronger. These exercises can challenge your bones and joints to get stronger. Stronger muscles also help support joints and backs, and help prevent falls and injuries

What you need:
• ca 1.5x1.5 meter space to move around.
• tablet, laptop or computer screen with internet connection
• rubber physio band (aka Thera band)
• Pilates bar or Gym Fit bungies to use with your Nordic Walking poles. (I can lend you these, and can bring them over if you don’t live too far

My rates
10 session card: My normal rate is £89 for 10 sessions. (different rates apply for my Parkinson’s classes)
Pay monthly: I am keeping the option of signing up for unlimited sessions per week (this includes Nordic Walks as well as online sessions). This is a flat rate of £70 per month for unlimited sessions if paid monthly in advance.

Pay What Works:
The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us.

In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes.

You tell me what you would like to pay:
For your new payment, please let me know if you are happy to pay full price, or if you would like a reduction
Please send an email to [masked] with the heading “INVOICE please”-
followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off.
And please tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly.

I prefer payment by bank transfer. At the moment I do not accept cheques. The queues by the banks are just too long.

 
 
 

Even if you cannot join our outdoor classes,I still want to help you stay motivated, happy, strong, fit and healthy.

We are now leading some walks, but we still have several classes per week online, using Zoom.

When you join us live, you can get my encouragement, and you can see and chat with the others, almost as if we are in the same room. And we can stick around for a chat after the session.

• tablet, laptop or computer screen with internet connection
• two waterbottles, cans or small hand weights
• straight kitchen or dining room chair without armrests.

Ready to get outside? Our Thursday morning session in Dulwich park is back!

At this moment we can meet with up to 30 people (of more than two households) to do outdoor exercise and walks. However, i like to keep our exercise groups small, so I have set the maximum participants at 12.

For now this walk is for our experienced Nordic Walkers only, who already used to Nordic Walk with us regularly before Covid 19 kept us indoors, and who have their own Nordic Walking poles.

As this session is outdoors, we will not ask you to wear a face mask, but we do ask you to keep 2 meters apart. Some of our walkers might be immune compromised or more at risk, so please help us keep everyone safe!

Please do not come to the session and stay at home if:

• you know you have been in contact - in the last 2 weeks- with someone with symptoms of possible Covid, or if you have been in contact with someone who tested positive.
• you have any of the following symptoms: (new) Loss of smell/taste, Persistent cough, Fatigue, Loss of appetite, Skin rash, Hives, Fever, Severe muscle pain, Shortness of breath, Diarrhoea, Delirium, Abdominal pain, Chest pain, Hoarse voice, Eye soreness, Sore or painful throat, Nausea or vomiting, Headache, Dizziness or light headedness

We meet by the cafe in the middle of the park.

Session Price: £10 per session, £89 for a 10-session card or £70 unlimited sessions per month. Session cards and pay Monthly can be used in any of our outdoor walks or indoor Zoom classes sessions (except for the Parkinson's sessions).

Exercise can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s, and Covid 19 Quarantine is no reason not to move! Join our fun outdoor class and stay fit and healthy.

Our ‘Nordic Neuro Magic’ is a new exercise class designed for people in the early stage of Parkinson’s and their friends or partners who can walk, are at a low risk of falls and have no major other health concerns .

Our exercise classes can really help improve your gait, balance and posture. They are also an excellent way to get fitter and stronger.
Inspired by PD Warrior, we run these especially designed classes, full of fun exercises, designed to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s.

Our members love it, and we can really see the difference in the members who have been with us for a while!

The classes are based around 7 key principles:
o Powerful
o Complex
o Frequent
o High effort
o Meaningful in daily life
o Specific to symptoms
o Fun!

New to Fit and Happy Outdoors? Please email me on [masked] or send me a personal message through Meetup at least 24 hours before the session you would like to join.

That will give me enough time to get back to you and discuss your needs and find out a bit more about you.

Once signed up we will send you a link to our Zoom meeting, as well as the password.

Cost: £150 per 10 sessions or £90 per month for unrestricted access to all our classes. Your partner can join your session for free.
