Chrome Academy Pole Fitness Mums & Bubs' Class
Unit 21, 2 Northpoint Street, Plimmerton
Facebook Page
Call 0210 449 560
The Chrome Academy, established in 2017, is Porirua's very first school for Pole Dance. Situated in the suburb of Plimmerton, The Chrome Academy offers a variety of classes to suit all level students.
Natasha understands that being able to get to a fitness class when you have a bub can be difficult so we have put together a class that is family friendly meaning mums can bring their bubs from newborn - 4 years old.
The class is designed to help mums build their fitness through exercises that strengthen and tone. We also go through a stretch/cool down at the end of class and I have had feedback from mums who came to the trial classes that they enjoyed this part a lot as their backs/necks/shoulders often get sore from feeding all the time.
I was wondering if you might want to add this to your news letter or website as a weekly activity for mums and their bubs.

Mainly Music
The aim of mainly music is to provide an environment where young children develop skills to enhance their early education, through the use of music, rhythm, rhyme, and other music related activities with the participation of a parent or primary caregiver.
Each week, parents and caregivers bring their children for a thirty-minute session of music, rhyme, movement, listening and more. The adults must participate in the session, and in fact, it is vital that they do so, because this encourages the children to enter into the actions and singing. Everyone is given snacks and refreshments.

3SIXTY Degree Fitness - Come on dads!
I am a mobile personal trainer who travels to clients' homes or local public spaces to train them at times which suit. Recently I have expanded my business and am providing men's group fitness classes based in the Newlands, Tawa/Linden, and Churton Park Community Centres. The classes focus on increasing strength, increasing fitness levels, and losing weight. They are based on strength and cardio exercises arranged into a circuit - the circuit changes each session so no two sessions will be the same.
There are various times across the three community centers which would suit both working dads and stay at home dads with children in daycare/kindergarten. The price of the sessions is $12 per session, 5 sessions for $55, or 10 sessions for $100. These multiple session purchases are valid across all centers and all session times so clients are not locked in to any particular time or center.
The details of the sessions are available on my website www.360degreefitness.co.nz.
I can be contacted on 021 257 9963 or via email ondavid@360degreefitness.co.nz.
