A new club has formed in Nyon, offering women the opportunity to take part in sports activities that are suited to their lifestyle and fitness level.
Called SHEzone, the club opened in Spring with the launch of MOMMYzone, a fitness programme targeted at mothers. Although the first classes have already started, it is possible to join a course at any time. A choice of two classes is being offered, involving moms, babies and their strollers, and these are being held in Nyon at either the Parc & Sentier du Boiron or the Parc du Bourg-de-Rive, or in Geneva at the Parc Mon Repos.
The Stroller-circuit class is open to all fitness levels and combines cardio drills with strength-training exercises, to target all of the major muscle groups. Abnominal excercises, mat Pilates and yoga techniques are also used to strengthen and tone your body.
The Stroller-cricuit 2 class, on the other hand, is open to mothers with a slightly higher level of fitness, who have been exercising regularly for at least 6 weeks, and who are at least 12 weeks postpartum. This course builds on the format of the Stroller-circuit by combining jogging intervals, drills and sprints with more challenging strength-training exercises.
Commenting on the new courses, founder Charlaine Jannerfeldt, says,
“MOMMYzone courses provide much more than a work out. They’re all about helping moms to be role models for their children, demonstrating that an active lifestyle can be not only healthy but fun! On a social level, they also give participants the opportunity to meet other moms with a similar outlook on life.”
She continues, “"SHEzone actively supports women, mothers and children to be physically active and contributes 1% of its annual profit to various charities involved in advocating physical activity and sports. MOMMYzone enables moms to get a workout without the added cost of daycare, and provides them with the means to engage with their little ones in a fun and friendly environment. Some of the other activities that I have planned for the future, such as Mom & Kids Kickball, will also help kids to get involved in team activities, essential in their development, whilst their mom enjoys a good workout!”
Over the coming months, SHEzone will be launching a number of new services, including OPENzone, the ideal solution for those special occasions, that require something a little different, in this case customized sports activities for groups of women and/or combined women/kids groups. CHALLENGEzone will also be introduced soon to provide women with the opportunity to take up a challenging new sport within the safety of an organized group. COMFORTzone, on the other hand, will be targeted at those women looking for more leisurely sports activities, which may be combined with some special pampering!
