1 year anniversary of being Self Employed

Friday 16th November 2018 I hung up my little headset and turned off my Travel work computer for the final time. After 24 years in the travel industry including the 1o years I had been with HRG , and 8 years of building My fitness business up along side working Part time as a senior Business travel consultant , I was finally going to take the leap of faith and take Little Mis Fit full time.

That day I wrote a letter to myself that I popped in an envelope and i popped it in my 2019 planner , for me to read on 16th November 2019. So I shall be pouring a glass of prosecco and reading that this weekend to look back on the past year to see just how far I have come.

Its certainly been an adventure!. Leaving behind a steady pay check, health care benefits, paid holidays and sick pay There have been definitely some sleepless nights thinking yikes will it al be ok???. You just make it work though, Like any journey in life , its never a smooth path. I am still so glad that I was brave enough to try and I’ve learned so much in this past year that I can take into my second year and continue to keep growing . It really was both the scariest, yet one of the best decisions I have made.

The business has evolved so much since I started it back in 2010. I’m so so grateful to all of you for your support over these past 9 years. I can’t believe we will be 10 years old next year!!!!!. I really do appreciate all of you who come to class and who support me by liking and Sharing my social media posts , it really does mean the world 😘.

As we approach a New Year and in fact a new Decade , take time to think what goals YOU have for the coming year ahead. Christmas always seem to have that magical feel to it and anything can be possible so Believe in yourself and go after your dreams 💕.

Cheers to the next 12 months 🍸

May time at Little Mis Fit

Hey Mis Fitters ,

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter – how gorgeous was the weather!!! , at least here in the UK!. It was glorious and really felt like summer had come early. My poor boyfriend though was in Spain on a Stag do and it chucked it down! Still they took refuge in the pub and still had a great time and I think they just avoided all our social media posts of us all back home basking in the sunshine!.

I spent a lot of the Easter weekend out in the garden , it really is my peaceful place and I love to head out there with my book and a cup of tea or on occasion a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. This past weekend I’ve been reading the Mrs Hinch book , I really enjoyed it. It was her story and also had plenty of her cleaning tips in too. Aswell as reading though I was also working on planning out May here at Little Mis Fit . Though I did also fit in a trip to Ramside spa for a night with some of my friends to celebrate a few of our birthdays. We had an absolute ball and of course with the weather being so lovely, it felt like being on holiday sitting by that outdoor pool , sipping prosecco, loving life!.

May for me is Birthday Month! , Its a big one this year aswell, so plenty celebrations. I always feel like birthdays are always special though – not everyone gets to grow old so every birthday should be celebrated.

May Happenings

May class passes will be on sale from Friday 3rd May and are valid until 31st May.

8 session pass – £35

12 session pass – £50

Unlimited monthly pass – £60

I am away Wednesday 1st May and Thursday 2nd May so no classes either of these days. We also have two bank holidays in May – Monday 6th May and Monday 27th May so no classes these days either.

May Class Timetable

We have been incorporating lots of Weight work in our sessions. We already use them a lot in our Barre Burn class and we have started using them in our Small Group Pilates sessions aswell, which the guys are loving.

We will definitely be using the weights more in other classes too such as body sculpt. Weights help us to build muscle which in turn burns fat and of course helps us tone up. Did you also know though that weights also help keep our bones strong especially as we get older and our bones become more brittle. Keeping our bones strong by using weights and body weight exercises can help us reduce our risk of brittle bones as we do get older, so it is important to build that strength up and lets face it none of us want bingo wings do we!. hands up if every time you wear a strappy top , you think to yourself – I wish my arms were more toned!.

if you would like to invest in some weights for classes – get either 1kg or 2kg ones for the Pilates/Barre burn/Body Sculpt . I got both sets from Argos.

April at Little Mis Fit

Hey Mis Fitters!,

Can you believe we are almost into April??? We are a quarter of the way through 2019 already!. Have you guys been following along with March matness and trying out a few Pilates moves?.

Its been a busy few months here at Little Mis Fit since going Full time which is fantastic. It really has been a bit of a whirlwind . I’m heading off for a little break this weekend though , which I am really looking forward to, a chance to catch my breathe and recharge ready for the next quarter. It really is so important to take time out to recharge your batteries. You really do feel so much better for it. So make sure you guys are taking some time in your day or week just for you, to enjoy a little time out. April is actually Stress awareness month so I’ll be sharing some tips and ideas here on the blog and over on my social media pages , so be sure to come follow us –

April is also Caesarean awareness month , as a Post Natal instructor , I’ll also be sharing some tips and stretches and exercises for new mams.

Of course this Month we also have Easter. Does anyone else think that Easter Eggs are even nicer than regular chocolate?. I mean I’ve always been a Cadburys Chocolate button kind of girl – I have a bit of an addiction to be honest, but Easter eggs are just so yummy and it really does not help when the Supermarkets sell them half price – far too tempting

February at Little Mis Fit

Guys can you believe the first month of 2019 is just about over and we are about to enter Chapter 2 ?.

I know a lot of people think January seems to last forever, but for me , Classes have been super busy and I had a few fun adventures booked in – bonus a lot of them had been paid for in advance – always good in January!. I had got my sister afternoon tea at the Town House in Durham for her Birthday back in November and we had booked it for January . It was so nice!. if you don’t know it, its a Gorgeous little twenties style boutique hotel right in Durham City, it really was like stepping back in time to another era, and the afternoon tea was really nice! .

Then Peter and I had a date night to the Sage to see Dirty Dancing the musical which was fantastic!. I have seen it on the stage a few times before, but just with the smaller venue , it definitely added a little more to the show.

My mam and dad also celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary ,

so its been a busy fun start to the year, with plenty more celebrations to come. throughout the year.

Classes have been really busy which is brilliant!. I honestly love teaching and we have really built such a lovely community within the classes ,and the small groups and in the 1-1 sessions , that sessions are always so much fun to teach with plenty banter and laughter alongside the workouts. Its said your Vibe attracts your tribe and I am so so lucky with all you guys!.

I’ve also been hooked on a couple Netflix shows this month too. Have any of you watched YOU on there?. so good!!! can not wait for season 2!. I’ve also been hooked on Marie Kondo tidying up. I read her book a couple years – The magic art of tidying up and now she has her own Netflix show and I’m hooked. I’ve been decluttering the house using the Kondo method. Its about keeping the things that spark joy for you – if it no longer sparks Joy, its time to thank the item and then declutter it. Have any of you guys been watching too?. Have you been inspired to try the Kondo method?.

Here is what we have going on here at Little Mis Fit this coming month –

The Barre is open

Hello Mis Fitters

So its now officially Autumn!. The final quarter of 2018 – honestly where has the year gone?. Does anyone else think its just whizzed by so fast?. Please say yes so I just don’t think its because I’m getting older and they say time speeds up as you do eek!.

The end of Summer / start of Autumn weekend was a good one – I went to see Wicked last Saturday – its the third time I’ve seen it now but its just as spell binding as the first time!. Sunday was such a lovely Sunny Autumn day , we took a stroll around Beamish museum. We have those annual passes for £20 which means you can go as often as you like – its perfect for a nice walk. plus there is always something going on there. The pub with their apple cider – delicious, perfect for this time of year . I can’t wait for the 1950’s town to open aswell!!! .

This week I finished my Barre qualification, hurrah!. Barre is a combination of Ballet moves, combined with Pilates and Yoga – plus we’ll be adding in elements of HIIT, plus using weights aswell for workout that is going to help you get leaner, stronger and more toned – perfect for any time of year , but especially with the Christmas party season right around the corner!. Its a class I’ve wanted to bring to the timetable for a while and I’m excited to finally be able to do just that. check out our new October Timetable on our Timetable page! . I would love to add a Teen/Tween barre class too if I can fit one in somewhere!. Those of you coming along to Barre next week – don’t forget your 1kg weights if you have them!. I got mine from Argos for £6.99.

I’m also busy working on our Halloween themed classes –

Monday 22nd October

Halloween Kids Yoga camp 1130am-3pm at Believe and Be Consett . This class is suitable for kids age 4-7. £18 per child including a picnic lunch , 90 minutes play in believe Town plus a Yoga and craft session. Spaces are limited so do please book early!

Of course they can get dressed up in their halloween costumes !

We will also be doing our Pumpkin HIIT class and a family Halloween Yoga class! on Saturday 27th October – more details to follow!

Last week we also had our first men on mats pilates class – which was really busy. I think they really didn’t know what to expect, but they all did brilliantly . They all seemed to really enjoy it and hopefully all coming back!

By the end of the year Little Mis Fit will be full time – eek, I’m not going to lie , I am so nervous to leave my corporate 9-5 Travel job with its steady pay check and benefits – I only work there two days now but its still nerve racking taking that leap into full time self employment . I have to try though and life is indeed what happens at the end of your comfort zone so its time to spread my butterfly wings and fly. I’ll definitely be sharing my journey here on my blog for those of you that want to follow along. Maybe you are on a similar journey or maybe you would love to do something you are passionate about for a career so maybe my journey might help you in some way.

This weekend I’m off on a little trip to the Busy Bee Studio in Durham with my friend Erin, for a browse around their Halloween/Autumn goodies. Erin has been telling me about this shop for ages and they have three big shopping weekends – one end of September, one end of October and one end of November . I’m so excited. as they keep posting teasers on Instagram of the shop and all the amazing products. Check out their Instagram @busybeestudio.co.uk. I’ll try and Instastory on our trip there , and I’ll definitely be sharing anything I purchase.

Love

Joanne x
