Private Gym with Exercise Coach
I run a small Private Gym in Clarkville working as an exercise coach to help customers achieve lifestyle fitness. Lifestyle fitness is just enough activity to keep you fit for your daily activities - and maybe a bit more ;), because sadly, as we get older, if we don't gently push our bodies then we lose those abilities. The equipment is designed to be low impact or no impact enabling people with injuries to exercise. You will be guided through an activity/exercise programme to help with your needs - be that better balance, exercises to help you recovery from an injury, or heart and lung fitness so you don't get out of puff so easily when playing with the kids. I have over 35 years experience in the fitness industry, and as I have aged (and got injured) I realised that there was a need to 'fill the gaps' with specific exercises as no-one does all the things they ought to on a daily basis. Please feel free to contact Janine on 03 35 215 35 to find out more. Cost is $40 for an hour or $28 for half an hour. FB: Rose Cottage Exercise Coaching Gym or Exercise & wellbeing coach.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
