What a month it has been here at Excape. The whole team have been working tremendously hard to bring our Excape community as much fun and add value to their lives right now. We have never experienced a time like this before and each person is going through all sorts of changes, emotions and dealing with unimaginable situations in their lives.Here at Excape, we feel the current situation has brought our community even closer than before. While there are many people finding this time extremely difficult, we are proud to have brought a sense of normality, structure, routine and a social element to their day.Seeing someones face, a friendly smile and a simple conversation have been the highlight of many of our days. Aside from our Online Personal Training platform being a massive success and lifeline for many of our clients we have had a pretty busy schedule with something for all the family to get involved in!
Every morning and evening we have our Online Coaching. Just like before, our clients can book into whatever time suits them around their new schedule.
This class is a low paced class designed with a focus on stretching, breathing, and relaxation. In these unprecedented times, this class is a fantastic time to slow down, relieve some tension and stress and become more present in the now.
Many people are adapting to working from home and while some people's work schedule is as busy as ever, our lunchtime sweat classes are a great opportunity to get a quick blast during the workday. These classes are a higher intensity session for 30minutes.Both Excape Exhale & Lunchtime sweats are on our timetable every Tuesday & Thursday.
The past few weeks our Excape community have been racking up an incredible amount of steps (within their 2km radius) and gradually increasing their activity levels ?If you’re up for a little challenge this week, why not take part in this weeks step challenge at @excapestudios ? Do your best - it’s not a competition but it has been motivating our community to get moving a little more.
One of our very talented clients at Excape has a passion for all things baking. We were thrilled when Tom decided to share his passion with the rest of our Excape community and teach us his wonderful ways of baking. The first workshop Tom done was our Sourdough Workshop. For any of you that may not be aware, this is a longer process than just baking some muffins! Tom educated our members and brought them through step by step via zoom and connected with them throughout the week. This was a brilliant experience for those interested. His patience and ever professional manner was evident throughout.
On Friday 10th April we held our first virtual Excape Games Night. Quiz master, Coach Andy kicked it off with a pop quiz style theme where the whole family and friends of the Excape community could get involved. There were plenty of laughs, lots of wine and beer and a great night's craic all from the safety of our homes ?
On Friday 17th, Coach Rebecca brought a fun-filled Friday to our homes with a beginners Zoomba class. Many of us have never tried Zumba before so it was great chance to get our bodies moving, have a laugh and get the whole family involved for some Friday fun! The kids loved it!
