April Newsletter — Spring Updates & Announcements
As we move through another busy month at LWP, we wanted to share a few important updates, celebrate some team changes, and send a huge thank you for the continued energy you bring into our classes. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes, and we’re excited to keep growing with you.
✨ Team Updates
Lauren W is moving from Tuesday nights to join our Monday night team.
This shift supports our growing Monday community and helps us strengthen the structure of the week. We know many of you love Lauren’s sessions, and we’re delighted to have her energy anchoring the start of the week.
Stepping into the Tuesday night space is Hannah, who many of you already know and adore. She’s excited to take on the role and continue building the supportive, uplifting atmosphere that makes Tuesday evenings so special.
💛 A Fond Farewell to Jasmine
This month we say goodbye to Jasmine, who is moving on to her next adventure. She has been a valued part of the LWP family, and we’re incredibly grateful for the warmth, care, and professionalism she has brought to every class.
Please join us in wishing her all the very best — she will always be part of our story.
📍 Venue Update — Monday Nights Are Moving
Our Monday night class has officially outgrown Stack House in Rayleigh — a milestone that fills us with pride and gratitude.
To give everyone more space, comfort, and room to progress, we’ll be moving Monday nights to SEEVIC College in Thundersley from Monday 11th May. It also brings a new class start time of 6.45pm and 7.45pm.
More details will follow soon via email, but rest assured the transition will be smooth, and we’re confident the new venue will elevate the experience for everyone.
⏱️ Teaser Series — Final Call for Times
We’re still collecting results for our recent Teaser Series Challenge.
If you haven’t sent your time in yet, please do — we’d love to include you in the final round‑up and share how the whole community got on. It’s been brilliant seeing so many of you get involved.
🙏 Thank You for Your Patience This Month
A couple of classes required last‑minute changes recently, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
Your support allows us to keep things running smoothly even when unexpected changes pop up, and we never take that for granted.
💚 With Gratitude
To all our clients — thank you for your loyalty, commitment, and continued support.
Whether you’ve been with us for years or have just joined the LWP community, you are the reason we keep growing, evolving, and striving to deliver the very best experience.
We appreciate you more than you know.
With love and lunges,
March moments…
As we step into spring, there’s a real sense of momentum building across our classes and community. March has been full of energy, progress, and a few bittersweet goodbyes - so here’s your monthly roundup of everything we’ve been up to.
🌟 Teaser Challenge Triumphs
Over 30 of you took part in our March Teaser Challenge, and we’ve absolutely loved watching your determination. We’re still waiting for the final results to come in, but the early analysis is already showing fantastic progress across the board.
Your commitment, consistency, and good feedback have made this challenge such a joy to run. We can’t wait to share the full results soon.
🏋️♀️ New Weights, Big Wins
This month we added weights to our ever‑growing collection of class equipment - and the response was brilliant.
You told us you loved the added variety, the extra challenge, and the fresh feel they brought to sessions.
Thanks to your enthusiasm, weights will now become a permanent feature in our equipment rota. More strength, more stability, more fun.
💛 Wishing Jasmine the Warmest Goodbye
March also brought a heartfelt farewell as we said goodbye to Jasmine, who is heading off on new adventures with her adorable new puppy.
We will all miss her warmth, her kindness, and her energy in class. Please join us in wishing her every happiness in this next chapter.
🌼 Looking Ahead to April
A little note for your diaries:
Friday 3rd April and Monday 6th April classes will be cancelled so our instructors can enjoy some well‑earned time with their families—and, of course, indulge in plenty of Easter eggs.
Thank you for your understanding and for always supporting the balance we encourage in both movement and life.Week commencing 13th April will be bands week across all classes. You need to bring them with you. If you need to buy some we have LWP Pilates branded bands avaliable to buy in the shop on the website
As ever thanks for your continued support.
With love and lunges,

December Delights
It all begins with an idea.
Hello lovely LWP community 🎄🎅🎁,
December has arrived wrapped in twinkly lights, cosy vibes, and a whole lot of festive cheer—and what a beautiful way to round off the year it’s been!
This month brought the most heart-warming news as we officially welcomed a very special new member to the LWP family. Our wonderful Sam welcomed her baby boy, Cian, into the world, and we couldn’t be happier for her. Sending Sam and her family so much love as they soak up those precious newborn moments—we can’t wait to meet him 💙
We also enjoyed our final classes before Christmas, and wow… what a way to finish! The classes were full of festive spirit, laughter, and a serious burn as we tackled the 12 Days of Christmas workout—plenty of reps, plenty of determination, and plenty of giggles along the way. Thank you for showing up with such energy right to the very end of the year.
As we now head into the festive period, LWP will be closing for two weeks to allow everyone a well-deserved rest and reset. This pause is so important, and we hope you take this time to relax, recharge, and enjoy all the magic the season brings—whether that’s movement, mince pies, or a bit of both.
Before we sign off for Christmas, keep your eyes peeled for something exciting… our brand-new subscription launch is happening on 29th December, with an email landing in your inbox at 7am sharp. Trust us—you won’t want to miss this one 👀✨
Thank you, as always, for being the heart of LWP. Your commitment, kindness, and energy make this community everything it is, and we feel so grateful to share the mat with you.
Wishing you a joyful, restful Christmas and the happiest New Year.
With love and lunges,
October Highlights
It all begins with an idea.
Hello lovely LWP community 🎃✨
October has swept by in a swirl of golden leaves, warm welcomes, and wonderful movement—and what a month it’s been!
Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy planning something special, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you: our first Pilates & Lattes morning is launching this Friday 7th November, in collaboration with the lovely Wilma’s Café ☕️. This event is extra special as it celebrates the launch of our brand-new 10:30am Friday class in Rayleigh, starting 14th November!
There are still plenty of spaces available, so please spread the word and get booked in—we’d love to see you there for a joyful morning of movement, connection, and coffee.
Our Rayleigh High Street class has already been buzzing with energy, and Carly and Michaela are so excited to be adding this new Friday slot to the mix. It’s a wonderful opportunity to welcome even more of you into our growing community and keep the good vibes flowing into the weekend.
This month also brought a bittersweet moment as we said “see you soon” to our wonderful Sam, who is heading off on maternity leave. Sam has been such a bright light in our evening classes—her warmth, energy, and care will be deeply missed by all of us, especially our Monday night crew. We’re sending her off with so much love and can’t wait to welcome her back when the time is right.
Meanwhile, our classes have been absolutely buzzing with effort and enthusiasm! Clients have been working hard and embracing the challenge, especially with Magic Circles and Pilates balls making a strong appearance this month. It’s been fantastic to see everyone pushing themselves, laughing through the burn, and building strength with such determination.
A special shoutout to our Saturday morning virtual crew, who’ve been showing up in full force! The class has been wonderfully busy, with a mix of familiar faces and fabulous newcomers joining in from near and far. It’s been a joy to see the energy and connection thriving—even through the screen.
That’s spooky season wrapped up with pumpkins carved and plenty of giggles, we’re already looking ahead to November and all the joy it will bring. Thank you, as always, for being the heart of LWP. Your energy, kindness, and commitment make this community truly magical.
With love and lunges,
September snapshots
It all begins with an idea.
Hello lovely LWP community 💫
Can you believe it’s only been four weeks since we returned from our summer break? It feels like we’ve packed a whole season’s worth of excitement into just one month—and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
First things first, we’ve had the absolute joy of welcoming back Danni who has been away on maternity leave. It’s been heartwarming to see her face back on a Wednesday morning, bringing her energy, expertise, and big smiles. We know you missed her and we are so thrilled to have her back in action!
We’ve also officially launched our brand-new class right in the heart of Rayleigh High Street 🎉. The response has been amazing, and it’s been wonderful to see new faces joining us there. If you haven’t popped in yet, come check it out—it’s the perfect blend of movement, community, and that signature LWP vibe.
Speaking of new faces, we’ve had a wave of fabulous new members join our community this month. Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or returning after a break, we’re so happy you’re here. The classes have been buzzing with fresh energy, and we love seeing everyone connect, support one another, and grow stronger together.
With spooky season just around the corner (hello, October 👻), we’re already dreaming up some fun ways to keep things lively. But for now, let’s take a moment to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished in just four short weeks. You’ve all been amazing—thank you for showing up, stretching out, and making LWP the vibrant, welcoming space it is.
Here’s to more movement, more laughter, and more community in the weeks ahead.
With love and lunges,
