New Year, New Goals, New Achievements!

Hi team,

Happy New Year! Hope you have all had a good break and refreshed for a new 2012 start!
 

Welcome on board, Trudi! Hopefully the team will grow in the new year!

So at the end of 2011, I set you guys a challenge - Festive Season, a handful of brave souls (6 ladies to be exact) decided to take on this challenge and fight their way to win themselves free PT sessions. Good luck to these ladies, as there is about 3 more weeks to go before we find our winner!

With a new year, we want to set new goals, it would be great if all of you have a think about these and return a list with time frames before end of Jan2012. We will then review and ensure they are realistic based on your situation then work hard towards them!

Just a few quick reminders, an older blog (last blog in 2011) has information about the Refer a Friend promotion. so check that out.

I am starting with one client, helping them clean their pantry. This will be a service available if you are in need of some advice and help. Again, send me an email if you are interested. Remember food is such an important part of the overall picture, we get that right and we are 70% there!

 

Keep up the great work team! Don't forget to to like the Hopscotch Fitness Facebook Page! we're on a measly 21, let's try and get that number up to 50 before the end of the year!


Very excited about the new year! Look forward to training hard and achieving more goals!
