Do you ever feel like you don't have enough time to exercise when looking after your children? Well with Charlene's PT studio you can bring them with you when you book up personal training sessions.
And if you want them to be more involved, try our fit mums and toddlers or fit mothers pushchair workout classes.
Or, even better, try out new FREE child and parent active games classes. Starting in a few weeks time, this free class will run for eight weeks and is designed to promote healthy exercise and spending more quality time with the family, as well as developing key skills for your child such as team work and listening skills.
It promises to be a blast with all sorts of classic active games, and some new ones to boot.
At the moment it's set to run on Thursdays 4 - 4.45pm and will be a great activity for all the family.
We're also in the process of designing a range of fun and funky kids' t-shirts (and maybe a few adult ones too).

Bouncy Castles and Internet Takeover
Wow, it's been a while since my last post. All I can say to excuse myself is that I've been really busy getting our name out there.
Since I last posted, we've been listed on five new websites, started our Gosforth classes (more on that later), hosted an Easter party, opened Sykes Beauty and gained a bouncy castle.
I dunno if any of you have been on Netmums, but it's a community-based site for mothers, including listings of local activities separated into easy sections. It might be worth a look, but you know you can find all the classes you need on our website. =)
The Gosforth classes have started, but the timetable's changed a little bit. We now run the following on Fridays at The Play Station, Gosforth:
4pm-4.45pm Street Dance for Kids
5pm-6pm Total Tone
6pm-7pm Zumba-cise
(The Play Station, West Avenue, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 4ES, 0800 9887 990)
Sykes Beauty is also operating in store now, offering manicures, pedicures, waxing, and eyebrow and eyelash tinting. Call or drop in to make an appointment.
And finally the bouncy castle...
Available in-store Monday to Friday, this costs £1.50 per child, and on top of the fun to be had by your little one, you get a free cup of tea or coffee out of the deal too.

Keep Fit!
It's well into 2011 and time to start thinking about getting fit and ready for those summer holidays on the beach (despite what the weather last week might have us thinking, spring is nearly upon us).
To get you fit, healthy, and feeling great, we have the all-new Fit Camp.
For £350, you get four weeks training, three hours a day, five days a week, with an additional hour spent doing weight management.
At the start and end of the course, you get individual fitness testing and lifestyle analysis, to help you keep track of your progress.

The camp begins the first week of April (and the first week of every month after that, until September) and can be paid in full before or on the first day of attendance, or in two instalments, to be completed on the first day of attendance.
Although the shop has no card machine, you can pay by card through our secure online payment system, operated by Paypal, on the website.
Give us a call or send us an e-mail at charlenemelling@charleneptstudio.com if you're interested.
In other news, the new timetables will be starting soon and will be finalised some time this week. Don't quote me on this, but we're also setting up some classes in Gosforth sometime over the next couple of months. Keep an eye on the website for more details if you live or know people over that way.
A new discount book for the Whitley Bay area, Discounts 4 U, was realeased last week, and it features discounts for both Paolas and PT Studio, as well as partner company Scrumptilicious Cakes. Pick up your copy at the Whitley Bay Playhouse, local metro stations or various shops around Whitley Bay.
