New location for AJactive classes previously held at Lord Nuffield Club

Owing to the Lord Nuffield Club now in receivership, all AJactive classes formerly run at this venue have had to relocate to different premises.

From Monday 10th August 2009, all classes previously held at the Lord Nuffield Club will now, by kind permission, be run from Rose Hill Primary School until further notice. In addition to the change of venue for these specific classes, please note the step aerobics classes have temporarily been replaced with aerobics and dance aerobics (please see timetable) until step boards are available. Participants will be notified when the situation changes.

Details and location of the School can be found below:
Rose Hill Primary School, The Oval, Oxford OX4 4SF

Despite these unforeseen changes AJactive continues to operate as normal. If you should have any queries regarding the above then please do not hesitate to contact me either by email: enquiries@ajactive.co.uk or mobile: 07796 053703.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing you in class.

Yoga & Pilates Classes at new Milton Park location

After excess of 6 years teaching Yoga and Pilates at The Park Club on Milton Park I have decided to leave due to class slots being dropped for the new January 2009 timetable.

I feel after giving consistent commitment to the Club and participants alike it seems a shame that the steady progress of the participants will be halted. I have very much enjoyed teaching the range of abilities and needs to an amazing mix of people over the years and it is this which has inspired me on to carry on the class slots in a different venue.

Lunch time is the ideal time to fit in a Yoga or Pilates session. It will help maximise your output mentally in the afternoon and due to the nature of the type of training, people can easily change clothes without needing to shower after a heavy, sweaty workout! The importance of lengthening the spine and correcting poor posture (in both disciplines) means that these sessions can also be seen as a preventive medicine against back pain and linked aliments, which, as we know, are huge factors for people taking time off work.
The new venue is at Millbrook House, approximately 200 yards further towards Milton Village.

Millbrook House, Milton, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4EL

Chloe Glazebrook (Total Body Conditioning) has set up a studio at Millbrook House and has kindly agreed that I can teach the following classes there:

Monday	1.30pm	Yoga
Tuesday	12.30pm	Pilates
Wednesday	12.30pm	Yoga
Thursday	9.30am	Pilates
Friday	5.00pm	Yoga

NB:  I am fitting around Linda Boston who is also teaching Pilates and Power Plate there.

I am sorry that things have to change, but I am positive that this will be a better venue for the type of classes that I would like to continue teaching to you all.
Hope to see you soon
