One for the gardeners 🌱

Happy Sunday, everyone! ☀️ What better way to kick off the day than with a bit of inspirational horticultural chatter?

In case you missed it, the latest episode of the Jim’s Gym podcast, Inspiring Movement, is a conversation with Izwe, the gardener behind .plantssake. 🎙️

A life spent working with the seasons teaches you a lot about rest, pace and looking after yourself, and Izwe puts it perfectly: "When nature was waking, we worked. When nature rested, we rested."

Well worth a listen with a cuppa ☕ or while you're out doing a little bit of weeding... Link's in the comments, or search 'Inspiring Movement' wherever you get your podcasts!

What's still going strong in your garden this late in the year? Any more courgettes?? 🥒👇

Janet's found the bit that makes it stick, and she was kind enough to write it down for us:

"Excellent online gym classes with Jim's Gym plus so many other brilliant classes. Love the yoga, tai chi and dancersize. So much choice which can be accessed at any time on demand if the live classes are not at a convenient time."

That's the one. Live if it suits you, on demand if it doesn't, and nobody's day has to bend around our timetable.

Thanks, Janet! Come and see what fits yours.

Five weeks is roughly when the sleeping-better messages start arriving.

When researchers ranked exercise types for sleep quality across 62 trials, the winner wasn't cardio, and it wasn't weights. It was both... in the same week.

So that's the plan: something that gets you breathing harder, plus something that makes you lift.

Turning up regularly beats any perfect programme, and it beats it easily.

15+ live classes a week, plus hundreds on demand, for only £12.99 a month. Come and pick two!

Not every good hour of the week has a dumbbell in it. Some have a paintbrush, a book, or a bit of wool and strong opinions about tension!

Art Club, Craft Club, Book Club. And monthly nutrition with Ian Thomas, our Registered Dietitian. All online, all from your own front room.

There's the members' WhatsApp group too. 219 in there, and it has never once gone quiet.

Come for the classes... stay for the natter!

Join Jim for the free weekly 9am workout, over in the Facebook group. Doors open at 8.50, which is mostly code for a bit of a chat first.

Seated and standing options, nobody keeping score, and Jim does the whole thing with you rather than shouting at you from the side!

Whether you're a natural morning person or not, moving in the morning can have a big impact on your day!

No membership needed. Come and find out what all the fuss is about...

Good sleep isn't about more hours in bed... anyone who's spent eight of them staring at the ceiling can tell you that!

It's about a solid night. Falling asleep sooner, waking less, and actually being asleep for more of the time you're in there.

That's what exercise brings you. Move properly in the day and you earn it, then collect it that night. Sleep and energy aren't two problems; they're one thing seen from either end.

All week we'll show you how to earn it. It's never too late!

Melissa knows, and she was kind enough to share what she thinks of us:

"Jim is a great PT who succeeds in making my individual training sessions entertaining and fun as well as effective, as he knows my boredom threshold is low. Online classes are testing enough to get your heart rate up to a decent level."

Testing enough, and never dull. That's the bar, and Melissa set it 🙌

A class you look forward to is the one you're still doing in March. Come and see if she's right. All for only £12.99 per month.
