FREE REPORT: HOW TO SAFELY DETOX

HEALTHY ME FOR ‘23

Start your year off with a bang and get some new healthy habits underway.

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. Looking ahead to the New Year, there will be plenty going on at the Club – hopefully something for everyone.

It is easy for health & fitness routines to get a bit stale, and the New Year is a perfect chance to freshen things up and re-energise yourself with something new. Maybe a new class/instructor? Some Personal Training to freshen up your gym sessions and introduce you to some different kit? Or perhaps you want to revisit swimming or learn to swim better? Or refocus your eating to develop healthier habits? The opportunities for change are huge – so go on……. give something new a try!

Want to Try Personal Training? We have some Offers

For January, we will be offering a “starter pack” of three, 55-minute PT sessions for £105 – open to any member who has not done PT with us before.These are a great way to work 1-2-1 with someone who can push you and hold you accountable, as well as providing great expertise on the best exercises to achieve your goals.We are also offering a special “couples rate” for those couples/friends who wish to train together. Find out more from the Reception or Wellbeing team.

Wishing you all a Healthy & Happy NewYear!

Kind Regards,

James Bailey Fitness & Wellbeing Manager

Plus you get a complimentary Body Composition Analysis pre and post PT package. Plus experience the new PULSEROLL gun - trainers are now using for pre and/or post exercise preparation or recovery.

You don’t have to be a seasoned athlete or body builder to enjoy the benefits of a Personal Trainer. Personal Training benefits both the person who has never worked out as well as professional athletes. It all starts with a YOUnique PT screen.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

No one should consider attempting any exercise programme without first being screened for how they move. Therefore Champneys movement screen focuses on fundamental movements with the number one goal of preventing injury. This session includes:

•Health Review

•Movement Analysis

• Sweat Session

•Body Composition Analysis

The movement screen allows every one of our members to be tested in 7 fundamental movements including walking, squats, pushing and pulling. Any imbalances are highlighted and considered when programming specific exercises for that person. This is why a one size fits all approach does not work. With our tailor-made approach and your hard work, together we will create the best possible version of YOU.

SPECIALIST THERAPIES ON ZOOM

CLAIRVOYANT READINGS - £85 for 50 minutes

Sandi Clark Mayes is currently available for Zoom readings which can be booked at Fitness in Tring– she has been doing clairvoyant readings at Champneys Tring, and the other resorts for over 16 years She also works in person and on Zoom in Dubai, Australia, New Zealand and France. She was trained in mediumship at the Arthur Findlay College in the UK. Her readings are tailored to the needs and requirements of each client. She also teaches mediumship at both foundation and advanced levels.

Sandi has the ability to sense the mental, emotional and physical processes of people. In that way she gathers information about the past, present and future potential of her client (categoric future telling is illegal in the UK) in order that they have a clearer understanding of themselves, how they are affected by other people, what is going on in their lives, their calife purpose and their potentials and abilities. She can look at specific areas of a person’s life if that is wanted. If it is acceptable to her client, Sandi is also able to connect with those who have passed on, identifying them and passing on any messages or answers to client’s questions.

Sandi lives with her husband Mike on the Roseland in Cornwall and so was only available once a month pre-pandemic. Due to lockdown, she has discovered that all elements of a reading work equally well on Zoom and a big advantage is that clients can have a video recording of their reading included in the price. Zoom means that she is now able to be available five days a week for Champneys clients.

DEEP ENERGY HEALING - £85 FOR 50 MINUTES, £ 45 FOR 25 MINUTES

Mike Mayes is now available for Zoom deep energy healing which can be booked at Fitness in Tring - he has been doing Deep Energy Healing sessions at Champneys Tring and the other resorts for 9 years– he also works in person and on Zoom in Dubai, Australia, New Zealand and France. He was trained at the Arthur Findlay College attending several courses a year for ten years. Each session is carried out based on the healing needs of the individual client. He carries out this all-encompassing therapy which - mentally, physically, emotionally and energetically - relaxes, re-conditions, repairs, rejuvenates, re-energises and balances. You stress and anxiety levels will be reduced, your quality of life improved and you will experience better sleep patterns. The effects of this treatment are on-going, and you will be given information about what healing was needed, why it was needed and what action you can take to avoid re-occurrence of the blockages and imbalances.

Mike lives with his wife Sandi on the Roseland in Cornwall, and pre-pandemic was only available to Champneys clients once a month. However, during lockdown he discovered that his healing worked equally well on Zoom – healing energy knows no limitations of distance. His treatments are now available five days a week to Champneys clients.

Foam rolling involves applying your own body weight to a foam cylinder, using small repetitive undulating movements to exert pressure on the muscle.

TRAINING

With whole-body vibration, you stand, sit or lie on a machine with a vibrating platform. As the machine vibrates, it transmits energy to your body, forcing your muscles to contract and relax dozens of times each second.

TRX is a form of suspension training that uses body weight exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously.

LEARN TO... STRENGTHEN THE CORE LEARN TO USE... KETTLEBELLS

SPECIAL FREE REPOR T

How to safely detox after the Christmas Season

It can be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also a season of indulgence and excess! With a combination of heavy meals, alcohol-fuelled gatherings, and Christmas puddings, the festive season can take its toll on our bodies and minds. Our mental health can suffer as we deal with the increased stress and anxiety of planning Christmas events, saving money for presents during a cost-of-living crisis, and dealing with difficult family members on the big day. Physical health can take a dive thanks to weight gain and bloating from extreme shifts in dietary patterns and winter bugs, welcomed in through immunosuppressing foods and drinks. If we’re not conscious and careful, harmful habits can continue throughout the New Year. You don’t have to go to extremes to reset your body and mind after the festive feast. Take care of your body with the intention of mindfulness, nourishment and self-love. Here are Champneys top tips and tricks on how to safely detox after the Christmas season.

01 Get Outdoors and Get Active

Over the Christmas period, we often find ourselves sitting on the sofa for long periods of time, drinking in abundance and watching seasonal specials or binge-worthy box sets on TV. Being sedentary can make you feel fatigued, lethargic, and bloated. The less you do, the less you want to do! That can lead you to repeat these harmful habits well past December 31st. To help cleanse your body and mind, improve your energy levels and digestion, it’s important to get outside and get moving! The winter season is probably one of the toughest times of the year to stay active. It’s cold outside, and there’s less daylight, making it hard to get out of bed

in the morning and motivate yourself to exercise. However, staying active during the cold months can help you beat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), maintain your fitness goals into 2023 and feel generally happier. In line with Public Health England guidance, we should all be supplementing vitamin D3 during the darker months of October to March too. Speak to Champneys Wellbeing department to stock up on our recommended vitamin D supplement. When you are exercising, especially when it’s cold, it’s important that you stretch before your workouts to improve your circulation, mobility and avoid injury. Find an exercise form that you like so your routine stays consistent. Try new group classes at your Champneys Health Club or book some one-toone Personal Training sessions with one of our experts to get you focussed and fired up. If you’ve made an appointment with someone, you’re more likely to be accountable and show up too!

Engage in an alcohol-free challenge

Alcohol-free challenges are great for boosting your motivation and holding you accountable to making lasting, healthy changes beyond all the Christmas overindulgence. They’re incredibly helpful to help reset, realign, and rewrite unhealthy behaviour patterns. Whether it’s to give your body time to recover post-Christmas, re-examine your drinking habits or quit drinking for good, you’ll develop better habits for controlling your alcohol consumption. An added perk is that you can also get into shape, sleep more deeply, and improve your mood. You don’t have to do the challenges alone. You can access a friendly online global community of other people on the same journey or try the challenges out with a supportive friend/ family member. Find out more or join ‘Dry January’ here..... https://alcoholchange.org.uk/help-andsupport/managing-your-drinking/dry-january

03 Boost your fibre intake

On average, one Christmas dinner can contain over 1000 calories for the main course alone. That’s not to include nibbles, canapes, starter, Christmas pudding or the booze and cheeseboard! Estimated UK calorie consumption on Christmas day is around 5500kcal. Surveys have concluded we start drinking before Noon on Christmas Day and many of us can easily put away over a week’s worth of alcohol units on just that day. Needless to say, come New Year your body is often ready for a well-deserved detox. Festive foods and alcohol can wreak havoc with your blood sugar levels and digestion. One way to help regulate glycaemic control and your gut health, is to include an abundance of fibrous vegetables in your diet, Kale, carrots, broccoli, beetroot and cauliflower will all give your body a boost of fibre. Opting for wholegrain cereals, bread and pasta can also help. The added bonus is that because fibrous foods take longer to digest, they keep you feeling fuller for longer so can potentially help to manage overall kcal intake and weight too. Champneys New Lief weight loss retreat has a specially designed menu that is calorie controlled, plant forward and high in fibre. This retreat is ideal to kick-start your desire to change body shape and lose weight whilst learning about ways to work successfully towards longer term weight management. Find out more and book here..... https://www.champneys.com/retreats/weight-loss-anddetox/new-lief-weight-loss-programme/ Also why not try our Dropit 21 weight loss programme.

Hydrate to flush out any harmful toxins in the body

Plenty of fluids will keep you energised and help eliminate toxins from your body. This is vital if you’ve binged in excess during the Christmas season! Some key signs of toxin build-up in the body include bad breath, lethargy, brain fog, nausea and brittle hair and nails. To stay hydrated with a little boost, squeeze the juice of half a lemon and some grated fresh ginger into warm water. Lemons are a source of vitamin C and ginger may have anti-inflammatory properties and support digestion. Another good option is to drink green tea or white tea for an antioxidant boost but without as much caffeine as regular black tea. If you find it hard to drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day, try a mixture of hot and cold, still and sparkling, diluted juices and infusions to increase appeal and help build the habit. Eating plenty of foods with a highwater content can help too although we shouldn’t rely on these in place of drinking! —such foods include as cucumber tomatoes, broccoli, watermelon, strawberries and blueberries. Hopefully these health hacks will aid you in embracing the fun and frivolities of the festive season but leave you feeling fresh and ready to take on the New Year towards a ‘’Healthy me for ‘23’’.
