Spa Holbrook Newsletter – May 2005 Blossom In the Trees and the return of Busy Bees! Dear Member, Are you enjoying your workout? This month we aim to introduce a big initiative in the Fitness Suite. We want you to tell us how much you are enjoying your workout! It is very important to get the best out of your workout and by filling in the ‘Enjoyment Factor’ on your programme card (usually at the bottom) will be a great indicator for us to provide the best service we can. What we would like you to do is to give yourself a rating out of ‘10’ for how much you enjoyed the workout: ‘1,’ meaning I had a terrible workout, or ‘10’ to translate having a brilliant workout! Over the next month the team in the Fitness Suite will be trying to get you ‘into the swing’ of filling out this part of the card; so you will have no worries over this. Member of the Month Brenda Powell is our big personality this month, chosen by Tash, for Brenda’s outstanding efforts in the Fitness Suite.

Our special offer for May, is a course of six for the price of five, and you also receive a ‘complementary treatment’ of your choice.
