Following its success in December, TRANSFORMER WEEK is back from 16th January. Previous Transformers have loved their results: dropping dress sizes and shredding in areas they never thought possible. One member dropped three inches off her waist, two off her hips and reduced her BMI and fat ratios - after just four weeks!

We're year-round fans of setting goals but there's nothing like the dawn of a new year to reflect on the next 12 months. We believe in setting flexible intentions rather than over zealous resolutions that are tough to stick to and often set you up to fail. Whether it's more exercise, better nutritional choices or working toward a big event or competition, make sure you're aiming for balance; something that'll bring you happiness and health. And don't forget to let us know your intentions so we can help keep you on track.

Looking ahead to next year, there are a few exciting changes in the pipeline. We'll be offering additional lunchtime classes, mixing up the early morning classes to offer 45 minute TRX, Boxing and a much requested HiPer Zone hybrid fast class.

The party season is hotting up, this can only mean one thing: Christmas is coming! If you don't want all your hard work to go to waste over the festive period, here are a few tips to swerve the bulge. Take notice of these and you'll be the one feeling smug come January when everyone else is sporting elasticated trousers.

We'd like to use it to thank you for all your support over the last 12 months. This brilliant fitness community that we've built simply wouldn't be possible without you and we're delighted you're part of it. For those of you who made it to our Christmas event, we enjoyed some early Christmas cheer with classes, gifts, mulled wine, cocktails and delicious food.

That's pretty much all for now - short and sweet this time - but we'll be back with one last mail-out before we close on December 21st, giving you the lowdown on all the stuff we've got planned for 2017. Trust us, it's going to be a banger of a year. In the meantime, if you're stuck for gift ideas or adding to your wish list, don't forget we sell gift vouchers... sure beats socks and perfume and just what everyone needs after an over indulgent Christmas and New year! Email for further information.

If you didn't come to our sold out Callisthenics workshop, you missed a blinding evening. The boys from The School of Calisthenics came up trumps yet again with a brilliantly educational few hours that saw us all busting out flags, nailing rings up and powering through handstands. They'll be back in the New Year so keep a look out for workshop dates.

Our collaboration with Paola’s Body Barre, Sweaty Betty and Skinny Prosecco went down a bomb! The feedback was phenomenal with people saying it was the perfect blend of disciplines: something to make you burn, sweat and stretch - basically the dream workout! Anyway, if you missed out on a ticket fear not, we have even bigger and sweatier ideas in the pipeline for 2017. Keep your peepers peeled.

Fitness and wellbeing should be enjoyed, not endured. We're all for good times at Transition Zone; there's no way we'd begrudge you some seasonal mischief! The point is, a big night out doesn't need to obliterate your routine.

Janine is our latest Recovery Cafe team member. And what an addition! As a qualified chef, mad-for-it boxing fan and sports-nutrition-guru-in-the-making, she brings a lot of life, skills and experience to the TZ posse. If you’ve seen her in action during Boxing HIT you’ll know that there’s no holding her back and Janine has already hosted a private nutrition workshop here at the studio that received BIG plaudits. We’re looking forward to hearing - and seeing - a lot more from her in 2017.
