I am astounded at the gap here between blog entries - this is something I promise I will address in March. No excuses really. We have been exceptionally busy in February - as this update will show - and for some reason I have forgotten to keep up with the blogs (both of them).
February has been all things. Certainly it has been fantastic. The feedback from our two completed courses so far - both three sessions - in Camden and Islington were extraordinary. Terrific quotes, so much positivity, and a sheer delight. We met some wonderful people, and hopefully some will be ongoing.
We have a couple of course starting in the next couple of weeks (tomorrow in Camden - Kings Cross - for two sessions, monday in Camden - regents park - for four sessions, and two weeks in Islington - Barnsbury Job Centre - for three sessions). I am more confident about numbers for islington than Camden. I made a video entry today, and talked about the perceived apathy from Camden towards getting people to us. I am concerned at the state of numbers attending. This is no reflection on HMHB who have been pushing the courses all over. However, it can feel as if we are trying to get blood out of a stone. There is only so much we can do. We are reliant on other organisations pushing our product at the moment.
Delighted with our fitness sessions and walks. We now have activities on Saturday (Sobell fitness), Tuesday (Highbury fitness), Thursday (Pancras fitness), Thursday (Islington health walk), Friday (Islington health walk/exercise). It is such a joy to be doing all of this.
We have to offer thanks to our Personal Trainer Dean (PT Zombie) who is overseeing the sessions. He works full time in Tottenham, but still comes over to volunteer with us, which is incredible.
We also have to thanks Better Gyms for allowing us to use their space.
We are arranging a couple of outings for March and April, and would like to do at least one a month from them on. It will help people stay connected and active.
I will ensure blog entries are more often (preferably daily in March - it only needs a little effort really).
Thanks everyone.
