New! Exclusive Yoga & Pilates Studio Opening 19th June If you’re anything like us, one thing that’s always put you off going to a much needed yoga or Pilates class is the lack of personal attention you get in large classes. That and the ‘close proximity’ of the other attendees (it’s hard to focus on those tight muscles when you’re trying to avoid someone’s arm waving in your face) – some classes are more like a full contact combat situation rather than a peaceful, focused environment! If you’re disillusioned with not knowing whether your Downward Dog is going sideways, your Half Camel is going backwards, or you’ve never tried yoga or Pilates before because large classes and lack of instruction has always seemed too daunting to get started, we’ve got the ideal solution for you. Launching on 19th June, Optimised are opening our brand new, state of the art yoga, Pilates, and seminar studio within our existing facility that will be specifically for small group classes of 6-8 people (as well as private 1:1 and 1:2 sessions), ensuring plenty of space and individual input from our expert instructors.

If you want to live a better, more productive and higher quality life, this is the place for you.

October 09 The W rld according to Fran I am old. Yes, I have said it. It has happened lightning fast and I didn’t see if coming. I was just be living my life the way I always have and then one day, out of the blue, I had the horrifying realization that people have stopped viewing me as an ultra-cool, iconic masterpiece of humankind ... now I’m invisible! There was no warning! I am sure that most women in their mid 50’s will tell you that while they may feel like 30—vital, vigorous and engaged—their valuation has changed. Experience is often dismissed, energy routinely ignored and, let’s face it, sex appeal all but laughed at. In racetrack jargon, we old mares are sent out to pasture while our male counterparts frolic in stud farms. How do I know I have been sent out to pasture am getting old I can hear you ask, dear reader. Well a number of events have happened recently: 1. I went into a department store (on Deansgate!) to look for some shoes with a younger friend. I needed a flat black pair for work and a high black pair for going out/dinners etc – not a bad sale for somebody. I tried on quite a few, as you do, and found ones that I liked. They were not in the sale (and I had my” smuggling into the house plan” ready for when I got home). I walked around the floor with the left hand shoes from each pair looking for a sales assistant. Every shop assistant glanced at me and ignored me as if I wasn’t there and asked my younger friend if they could help her!!!! Needless to say I didn’t buy the shoes! 2. Jack asked me how did we let people know we were going to be late in “the olden days” when we didn’t have mobile phones. After I had picked myself up from the floor (which obviously took a long time as I am so bloody old!) I told him that we weren’t late and on the very, very unusual occasion that we might be we used a phone box to call the person with a 2 pence piece!!!! 3. I went to a Bruno Mars concert a couple of weeks ago (which surely proves I am down with the kids and not old – although he didn’t come on until about 9.30 pm so was a bit knackered by then!!!!!!) and on the way out a young guy was giving out leaflets about a live music club and glanced at me and my friend and walked straight past us! 4. I went into Neighbourhood for lunch with a business colleague. For once I was early and I walked in and had the following conversation with the young man on the reception desk: Young Man: Hello Madam, can I help you? Me: No thanks, I am waiting for a friend. We are having lunch. Young Man: You do know you are in Neighbourhood don’t you?! I did laugh eventually and he was very apologetic and comped our drinks – and I had only had water I was discussing this at the dinner table with Jack and Peds one evening and Jack came up with a few beauties of his own in the “you know you’re old when…………………” category. You know you’re old when all of your sports heroes have retired (that one was for Peds) You know you’re old when you get cramp in your finger scrolling down to find the year you were born on a web site You know you’re old when you can remember getting through an entire day without taking a picture of anything You know you’re getting old when you say “hang up” the phone and know what it means You know you’re getting old when your ears are hairier than your head (another one that was for Peds) You know you’re getting old when it gets late earlier You know you’re getting old when you have to increase your font size to billboard. You know you’re getting old when you watch Home Alone and wonder how much their mortgage is! There were others but they are not printable! Peter and I decided that my new mantra is going to be age brings intelligence, experience, wisdom and beauty and I will not be scared of it! I can tell you this even if you don't see me, you will know that I am here!
