Aura responds to get fit for summer drive in Drogheda with ‘Successful Slimmers’ class

News released: 27th March 2009

A new get fit drive sweeping across Drogheda is motivating men and women of all ages to get in shape for the summer months, according to the staff and management of Aura Drogheda Leisure Centre.

Members and customers at the leisure centre have told staff that the exercise trend has motivated them to set personal fitness goals for summer and they asked them if Aura could help. Staff responded by bringing their ‘Successful Slimmers’ course forward by a few weeks to help everyone achieve their fitness objectives.

“We had planned to start our ‘Successful Slimmers’ course at a later date but such is the demand and determination of people to get in shape for the summer that we decided to bring the start date forward,” said Michelle Finnan, Operations Manager at Aura Drogheda Leisure Centre.

“People have reacted positively as they realise from previous experience or from friends who completed the course just how beneficial the programme is. Participants not only get to enjoy 10 weekly exercise sessions, but they also receive a personalised exercise programme, nutritional advice and weekly meetings with their trainer.

“Successful Slimmers’ really works by motivating the course members to get fit through group exercise sessions and the one-to-one meetings with the fitness instructors and they find that it is possible to get in shape and have fun at the same time,” added Michelle.

‘Pay As You Go’ customers who join the course also receive 10 ‘Aura Visit Cards’, which entitles them to 10 free visits to the gym, the swimming pools or any of Aura’s fitness classes free of charge for a period of three months.

The new ‘Successful Slimmers’ class begins at Aura Drogheda on Wednesday, April 15th and costs €99 for non-members and €60 for Aura members.

People who are looking to finally get that toned tummy or those who want to strengthen their core muscles and prevent injury will be delighted to hear that Aura is also starting a new Pilates course on Tuesday, April 14th.

Pregnant women are also being invited to join Aura’s new Yoga course which starts on Wednesday, April 15th to help them increase flexibility, feel relaxed and improve their posture.

The Pilates course will take place every Tuesday for six weeks from 8.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m. and costs €55 for members and €70 non members. The same prices apply for the Yoga course which will take place every Wednesday evening, also from 8.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m.
