So after a week off, it was great to be back in class . We had a great workout. So you see, a holiday for the instructor is good for everyone!

Wow , it’s a year since I started at Mytime active as an Exercise Specialist Instructor. In the last year I’ve gained my BACPR qualification allowing me to work with people with heart conditions , I got my Aqua Qualification but since decided it’s not one I really enjoy so I’ve handed over the class to someone who can give them what they want. I’m looking forward to starting my Cancer Rehabilitation course next month and then training to be a qualified Stott Pilates Instructor later in the year and then the next plan will be in place!

Thank you for everyone’s support , advice and encouragement and belief, through the 5 years( in May ) since I set up Wellness with Fi. It’s certainly been a ride! But the biggest thing and the hardest thing was losing Mum and sharing my next adventures with her 🥲

Now I know I’m no skinny Minnie anymore and there have been times in my life when I have been fit, healthy, run races . But it’s funny how people judge you on size. So last night was challenging because on Sunday I had a fall and hurt my arms and knees ( no alcohol involved) in fact I was playing/running with my great nieces in the forest and tripped over on a stone and landed on the grave path. So kneeling on all 4’s was sore! It when it came to doing core, she kindly gave me a cushion to help me sit up, but I do have a strong core, and she was surprised at what I did. You can be fitter and larger which is healthier than smaller and unfit. We had a conversation work the other day and I wonder if you agree. Do you have more respect for someone that is fit and healthy , opposed to someone living in a larger body , I wonder 🤔

Off to experience a Pilates class!! Be interesting as it’s in France and I don’t speak French and the instructor doesn’t speak English!! Let’s hope the universal language of movement helps !!

What a lovely weekend , a night out with hubby on Friday to see Think Floyd ! A spa day with some lovely friends and today welcomed FiFi to Absolutely Furfect Dog Grooming . Wellness isn’t just exercise and nutrition, it’s also being grateful for what you have 🎶🏊🐾🥰

When someone messages you and says “Can I come back”
No need to ask, our door is always open and life happens . It’s a privilege you want to and the answer is always YES ❤️

New opportunities are always exciting and a touch terrifying too, but unless we feel the nerves, we won’t continue to grow. One advert for a job I didn’t have the qualifications for, opened the door to these new beginnings and I feel very blessed .

Brilliant

Planning approval granted for new West Wickham Leisure Centre.

Construction of the new West Wickham Leisure Centre will get underway in the coming weeks after the application was unanimously approved at Development Control Committee on 27 November.

The proposals include a gym that is 40 per cent larger than the previous one, a competition-length swimming pool, changing rooms, a new reception area and a café. The proposed design for the new leisure facility features a red brick exterior.

Planning approval follows the recent completion of demolition works of the former leisure centre. It was beyond economic repair after structural issues were identified. The demolition progressed on an advanced schedule to ensure the new centre is built as soon as possible. The learner pool was not included in the demolition and is being refurbished. The £22m project will see a new leisure centre delivered in West Wickham and is expected to reopen in early 2028.

Councillor Alexa Michael, Chairman of Development Control Committee, said: “This is a high-quality application, with an attractive design inspired by the newly reopened West Wickham Library. I was delighted that the Committee could unanimously approve the application, which will significantly enhance the borough’s leisure provision. I am sure the new leisure centre will be much enjoyed by local residents once it reopens.”

Councillor Yvonne Bear, Executive Councillor for Renewal, Recreation and Housing, said: “This is welcome news that allows the council to press ahead with works on site to deliver this new leisure centre for West Wickham and the wider borough. We have been moving at pace to get to this stage as we needed to move ahead with the rebuild. This is a significant investment from the council which we have prioritised because we know how important the centre and pool is to residents. It will ensure provision is available long into the future.”

The Development Control Committee resolved to grant planning permission subject to the prior completion of a legal agreement.
