REOPENING IS GETTING CLOSER

It’s Noemi here!

Can I just say WOW, this is our 10th week of streaming classes online, and we are having such an interesting time? Initially, it was so strange for the studio doors to be shut and to be honest, I cannot wait for them to reopen soon.

Thank you all for keeping us busy, navigating and learning this new online landscape. We have continued to really enjoy teaching you all, though of course, we miss seeing you in person. In my heart, I hope that we as a studio have been able to give you a variety of classes, keeping you sane, motivated, and engaged during this lockdown. It has been a complete rollercoaster, don’t you think?

My gratitude is with you all who believed in us, and all who sent us lovely messages and well wishes, week on week. I also want to express my appreciation of your commitment, and I am so impressed that some of you pushed through many physical and psychological barriers during this time. In our online classes, we aimed to help you feel confident, reassured and to continue as much as usual as possible.

We are so thankful to see familiar and new faces in our online classes. Yes, online classes are not for everyone, and some of you prefer the discipline and companionship of coming to the studio, but we also have 1 st hand experienced that for some of our client groups and classes working-out at home really works! Who knew?!

We found for example that hosting our Peto pilates classes online meant that those with Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral palsy and MS can attend regardless of address and by not being London based, makes the availability of support less of a postcode lottery. How beautiful is that?

When we finally reopen the doors to the studio, we hope to continue to keep some classes online on for a while as I believe this is still one of the safest ways at this present time, and maybe for some, it might be the new reality going forward.

Memberships

You may be wondering what will happen to your membership once we reopen. We are working hard behind the scenes to make sure that our memberships will continue to work for everyone and can accommodate the studio as well as online classes. Bear with us.

We will inform you in good time should there be are any changes which may affect your current terms. It is so important to us to be open and honest with you and for us to let you know what we are planning. During lockdown, we have learnt that as a small independent business and a new studio, we must be agile; change with the needs of the time and you, our valued customers.

Of course, it all must work for us too, and we want to be a studio that is creative in how we support you all as well as keeping you safe. We love hearing your feedback and ideas about reopening the studio but also about our classes, what you would like to see more or less of. Please as members or pay as you go, participants, you can help us shape the studio so do let us know!

We are social

We have invested in really upping our game on social media in line with our online presence and to help make us a dynamic studio. Our Instagram account is fun, shares the latest class schedules and even has a small shop for props and to buy one-off classes. We are doing our best to keep you all posted and informed, and if you don’t already follow us make sure to sign up to our Facebook page, follow and like us on Instagram @beyond_move.

If socials are not your thing or you want to receive us in your inbox too do also make sure we have your correct email address. We will soon be sharing news about reopening as well as class schedules and any changes we may make so please do keep an eye on all the above.

Here is our brief Covid-19 guide

Lots of love,

Noemi
