September news

All our September news featuring:

  • New classes for adults and kids

  • Half term courses

  • Birthday parties and events

  • Changes to our membership plans (including a special offer)

  • Massages and other treatments in our new treatment room

  • A Club Lunch @ Green & Blue update

We were really worried about launching a new studio just before the summer. We knew that we’d want to be building our member community at exactly the same moment everyone was jetting off on holiday, in many cases for the first time in three years.

Well, looking back now, perhaps we didn’t need to worry. The summer was great fun. Our first round of holiday courses was a huge success, with 68 children taking part over the 3 weeks. And the community we were so desperate to build is already beginning to take shape. Less than 2 months since we opened, it’s already starting to feel like a little family.

But, having said that, we would be lying if we said we weren’t happy to see September arrive and we have so much to tell you. We’re probably breaking lots of key marketing rules by putting so much information in one post (and to be fair it’s more like a magazine than a blog post) but there we go! We just need to let it all out.

Just this once, we’ll keep the intro to a minimum and launch straight into the important stuff.

New classes for adults…

Now everyone is back in town, we’ve added several new classes to our schedule and are starting to explore early morning slots for those wishing to train before work. Keep an eye out for new bootcamps, lunchtime yoga, a new evening prenatal yoga class for our lovely pregnant ladies, aerial rope and trapeze, plus some of our classics, such as pilates and barre at new times. Remember, becoming a member gives you access to all of our different classes.

We’re going to trial an evening Cacao Ceremony with Sound Bath on Thursday, 29th September. There are only 12 spaces for this one, but if it’s a success, we’re sure it will become a regular, possibly biweekly, feature. Places can be booked now via the app or member portal and are covered by your standard membership or class pack.

…and for kids

Aerial Flex, our aerial class for older kids and teens, every Wednesday at Green & Blue Studios

Our ‘after school’ classes for children began last week. We knew these classes would be a success because we’re parents and our two boys love them, but even so, we’ve been blown away by the feedback so far. Thank you, parents ♡.

Groups are small, no more than 12 kids for the aerial classes and 10 for gymnastics. Aerial takes place after school every day from Monday to Thursday and gymnastics is on Saturday morning. It was so great to see so many families taking full advantage of the café while this kids trained downstairs. By happy coincidence, we launched a new American pancake breakfast option this week (topped with yoghurt, cinnamon plum compote and chopped hazelnuts). What a time to be the parent with a child doing gymnastics on a Saturday morning…

There are still spaces available in our Aerial Kids Club (5 to 11 year olds), Aerial Flex (older children and teens) and Saturday Gymnastics (6 to 12 year olds) but they will sell out so, if you’re still thinking about it, please don’t wait too long. You can find more information about all of our kids classes here.

 
A huge thank you for running the aerial classes for kids. My daughters have not stopped talking about how great it was. They’re not normally enthusiastic about classes but came out buzzing. They can’t wait for next week!”

And of course, the tiny ones

Circus Soft Play is back every day from Monday to Friday, 11:00 to 12:30. Stimulating supervised play downstairs in studios 1 and 3 for anyone too young to go to school. Expect to see lots of parents playing with their little ones, hanging out, having a coffee and a chat. Being a daily event, it tends not to get crowded so there’s lots of space to spread out. These sessions are where there café really comes into its own. But if you need to get home quickly for the nap, why not take lunch with you? Order it when you arrive and we’ll have it ready and waiting for your when you leave. All of our salads, cakes, coffees, smoothies and so on are available to take away.

You need to purchase a credit and sign-up to a session via the app or member portal to attend. If it’s the first time you’ve paid for a credit you need to do it here on our website. You can then make future payments on the app.

Half term kids courses

We’ve mentioned the summer camps a few times now and we’re sorry if it’s getting a bit boring, but they really were that much fun. If you missed out last time, the good news is that we’re holding two more courses during the October half term, plus a couple of days before Christmas. Interested? Booking is now open for half term. You can read more by visiting our Kids page or you can sign-up using the buttons below.

  • Monday 24 to Wednesday 26 October, 10:00-16:00, £150

  • Thursday 27 & Friday 28 October, 10:00-16:00, £100


Birthday parties and events

We still have a few free weekend birthday party slots available this year. You can read all about our party packages right here on our website. We offer a smaller, lower budget option after school on Fridays for 4 to 6 guests and bigger bashes from 8 to 18 guests on Saturdays and Sundays. Tea party options are also available in our café. If when you’ve read the info, you’re interested in booking, you can drop us an email at info@greenandbluestudios.com.

If you have an idea for an adult event or party - a bonding sessions with your friends, a private class or or something else, just let us know. We’d love to hear from you. We’re still new enough to be prepared to give things a try. Or consider them at least.

Membership plans

We’re retiring one membership plan and launching another.

Aerial yoga @ Green & Blue Studios

Retiring: Founder 30 will only be available until the end of September. It was created to celebrate our launch and to give our first members, our Founder Members, unbeatable value as a thank you for being with us from the start. If you’re reasonably dedicated and plan to visit us at least 2 or 3 or more times per week, there’s no better value way to do it. There are less than 10 Founder 30 left. Any that haven’t sold by the end of the month will be withdrawn. Want to catch one before it’s too late? Click here.

Launching: Founder 30 will be replaced with a New Member offer. If you’ve been thinking about giving Green & Blue Studios a try but needed something to give you a little push, this is the one for you. Our New Member offer gives you 5 classes for the price of 3. That’s 5 classes for £45. It will be available for the rest of the month.

Additional bonus - the first 7 people to sign up to our New Member offer will get an extra class free.

We’ll be tracking this and, if you’re one of the lucky ones, we’ll send you a message by the end of the day and apply the class to your account for you. We’ll publish a story on Instagram and Facebook when the first 7 have been sold. If there's no announcement when you make your purchase, the extra class is yours. Fair?*

But please do note, this is exclusively for new members. It’s fine if you came to our Soft Launch, but please don’t sign-up if you’ve visited us since 18 July, the day we opened fully. The 2 additional classes will be removed from your account. Sorry for the bad vibes, but rules are rules 😌

Click here to sign up.

Treatments at Green & Blue

If you’ve been to the studio, you’ve walked past our treatment room, but you probably didn’t know that’s what it was. We didn’t manage to get it finished before opening but it’s ready now (note - there will be three more showers and some additional changing space one of these days, too).

Jess from Mahasana Mind and Body christened the space last week with a first massage. If you’ve been in one of her classes, you’ll probably already be able to imagine how good her massages are. As soon as we’ve worked out the most efficient way for you to book massages and other treatments with some of our lovely coaches, we’ll publish details on our home page.

Club Lunch @ Green & Blue

American Pancakes with yoghurt, cinnamon plum compote and chopped hazelnut

Finally, we wanted to leave you with a little reminder about our café, run with our lovely friends from Club Lunch Haslemere. Perhaps the best thing about it being a collaboration is that we can sing its praises without feeling arrogant. Honestly, it’s just such a brilliant little space, and getting better by the day. The menu changes frequently, the food is so good, the staff are lovely… It’s just a really nice place to be.

We have a slightly reduced menu in the café, but the full Club Lunch menu is available to pre-order for pick up in the café or for home delivery from Wednesday to Friday. Some of our more enterprising customers have already realised this works really well when combined with school drop-offs and trips to and from the station.

We will be extending our official café hours in the next week or so to cater for our kids classes on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings; look out for an announcement on that. Why don’t you pop in for a coffee and a chat one day? We’d love to see you.

You can view the full Club Lunch menu here: clublunchhaslemere.com/menu

If you’ve made it this far, thanks so much for reading. We’ll try not to leave it so long next time.

Love to all ♡
