Barre Archives - Little Mis-Fit

Online Classes and Programmes

Can you believe we are about to go into week 9 of lockdown!. The weeks seem to be flying past so quickly . We are all finding a new kind of routine now, and adjusting to this new way of living. I think having some kind of routine is a big help and I know for a lot of my online class guys , it is seeing familiar faces in the group and doing the classes alongside me – just some feeling some normalacy from before lockdown

I do think it will be a good couple of months before we can start to look at bringing back in person classes and even then it will have to be smaller groups . However in the meantime we have a few different online class options that you can try.

Currently all options are available via private Facebook groups. Coming soon I will have a private membership area right here on our website with access to online classes too.

Pilates and Meditation group – £25 per month.

Our Pilates group is for those of you who love your Pilates sessions and want to focus on those. You get two brand new workouts each week – Tuesdays and Saturdays . Saturdays I usually teach the class live at 8.15am-9am, so you can follow along in real time . However if you can’t make the live sessions, they save in the group for you to access whenever you can

Community class group – £40 per month/£12 per week/ £4 pay as you go options available

This is our group which has replaced our offline class programme during the pandemic. We have a class timetable of classes each week – for example

Monday **LIVE** Pilates Bootcamp 7.30am-8am

Tuesday – Body Sculpt or cardio style (pre recorded )

Wednesday ** LIVE** Pilates Sculpt & tone 9.30am-1015am or barre style class

Thursday – Body Sculpt / Barre (pre recorded )

Friday ** LIVE ** Pilates 6.30pm-7.15pm – this one you can bring a glass of wine, Gin, prosecco , juice whatever your preferece!

I do mix up the classes each week but it is usually a Pilates inspired, Barre or body sculpt and some cardio each week.

Our Third group is our Online workout group – this was our very first online class community we started two years ago. This one is £10 per month and contains a mix of pre recorded workouts for you to access with two new ones added each week usually around 15-25 minutes long.

For more information or to join any of our online groups, please do just email me info@littlemis-fit.co.uk or drop me a DM via our Facebook page – www.facebook.com/lilmisfit1 or Instagram @littlemisfitjojo. I hang out on Instagram a lot so do come say Hi ! and if you want to see what I get up to during the week, when I am not teaching – its currently swinging on my new egg chair in the garden with a book in my hand more often then not!

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

Spooktacular October at Little Mis -Fit

Hey Guys,

Right I feel I have said this so often this year , but honestly I can not believe another month is almost over!. I mean its October next week! – October ! . Though I admit , I do love Halloween month, I’ll will definitely be gong in the loft to get my Halloween décor out in the next week or so . I got some fab Halloween mugs last week from Tk MAX. – what about you guys? – do you decorate your home for Autumn/Halloween? . if you follow me on Instagram @littlemisfitjojo- I’m sure I’ll be doing some Insta stories on my autumn/Halloween décor.

October at Little Mis-Fit we will see some timetable changes! . Injecting some new classes.
We will be bringing Barre classes to the time table . Barre is a combination of taking ballet moves and fusing them with pilates and yoga moves to help strengthen and tone the entire body and we can also make it a HIIT style workout too – welcome to Barre BURN!!. If any of you would like to get a pair of 1kg weights to bring along to these classes , to add in an extra challenge to the workout, then it would add an extra challenge.
You can get these from Sports Direct, Argos , Amazon etc. Don’t worry you will still be able to do the classes without these , it just adds that little extra to your workout and of course Christmas party dress season is right around the corner . I am also
going to bring a boxing style class back on a Saturday morning , as we have been boxing past couple weeks and I know some of you miss it.

We will also have a Small group training starting Mid October , which will take us to the end of November – right in time for Party season. Please let me know if you would be interested in a place.

Pilates Small Group will also be back Mid October though this often sells out pretty quickly!.

From January , I will also be looking at running some day time Small group sessions so please let me know if this would be something you would be interested in. these will be in addition to the evening sessions.

We will also be doing a Halloween special Family Yoga class on Saturday 27th October!. Of Course Halloween fancy dress will be highly encouraged!.
