April 2024

Happy Spring! There’s lots going on at Jazzercise Bucks & Oxon, so here’s the round up.

Jazzerthon Total

Firstly, thank you so much for all your support for the Jazzerthon at the end of March. To date we have raised just over £3260 for Thrombosis UK, a fantastic amount for this amazing charity which has given so much support to Tania following her diagnosis. We still have a few sets of weights available - 2Kg and 4Kg – get in touch if you are interested and any small donation would be appreciated.

New Instructor

We are delighted to add Amelia to our Instructor team this month. She passed her audition in February with flying colours and is now instructing the class at 6.45pm in Haddenham every Tuesday. Please note the change of venue from the Junior School to the Village Hall and try to get along to support her if you can. She has amazed us with her confidence and clear instruction technique!

New Format

We have more exciting news as we introduce a brand new, limited time format running for 6 weeks from 15th April. It’s Cardio Sculpt with a twist! This NEW specialty format series includes three different classes that combine the dance-based cardio segment you love with targeted strength training segments for your arms, abs, and legs. Each class prioritizes a different target zone to fast-track results and maximize the muscle-building benefits. Check the weekly timetable or ask your instructor for details. 

Class Schedule

All classes are running to the usual timetable for the next few months, we publish a weekly timetable with formats and any instructor changes every Sunday on Instagram, our public Facebook page and our closed Friends and Members group. If you are not sure how to access this information, please get in touch and I’ll send you the links.

There are 2 more Bank Holidays this month (6 and 27 May) when we will cancel the evening classes as historically these have not been well attended. Keep an eye out for the morning classes - both venues are running on the 6th, only Haddenham on the 27th. With Summer holidays around the corner, we keep everything running throughout, so you don’t miss out! This is the beauty of having a team of instructors who can all cover for each other. Planned cancellations which are beyond our control are Thursday 2 May for elections and Tuesday 30 May for the Blood Donors both in Haddenham Village Hall. Also the Stretch class on Friday 19 April as Janey is in France and just the livestream of Cardio 45 on the 22nd as Amelia is covering – and it’s added stress and hassle to get the camera set up for a new instructor, especially in the tight changeover time!

The new Lo classes are going really well. We’ve seen a lot of new faces and many familiar ones taking advantage of this format. They are a great addition to the Sculpt classes and also guarantee the longevity of the classes for all of us! If you are finding the high impact classes are getting hard, remember it’s absolutely fine to switch to low impact throughout, if you want something a little slower, but with all the benefit of strength, balance, and improving range of motion, then give the Lo classes a try. 10.45am Mondays and Thursdays in Haddenham and Wednesdays in Chinnor.

Gift of Fitness – Refer a Friend

If you have a friend who is interested in trying Jazzercise, they can have a free class as your guest – just let us know when you plan to bring them and we can send you a pass to share. Current clients are our best advert and by far the best marketing for what we do!

As always, we are here to help you and answer any questions. You can email me directly janey.jazzercise@gmail.com, or call/text on 07739186231

Here’s to a great Spring and looking forward to lighter evenings and warmer weather.
