Hello to members new and old,
We have had a fantastic week with class sizes building and, with the addition of the cardio session , saw a huge buzz in the RMC studio. Thank you for your understanding and support as we adapt our timetable and manage our booking system. We have the most amazing team that continue to provide a seamless and calm environment for our members and we can't thank you enough.
A reminder that tomorrow is a public holiday so we will see you all at our Running/Walking sessions with Brad on Tuesday.
Don't forget to book in advance to secure your cardio and recovery sessions, as they are filling fast. Please bring a mat to the recovery sessions as we don't have many spares and the ground is hard.
Please see below information from last weeks newsletter about new feedback forms, RMC terms and conditions, membership price increases and reminder about Youth Memberships.
Membership Price Adjustment
Our aim at Run Move Connect is to maintain membership affordability and we are very proud to offer fantastic services to our members without having a big financial impact.
Due to an increase in overheads and additional classes being added to our timetable, we will be having a blanket $5 and $20 increase on weekly and monthly memberships respectively, excluding Youth memberships. 10-pack passes will be increased by $20 per purchase.
This membership price change will take effect and align with the updated Terms and Conditions on Monday the 3rd of April.
Please do not hesitate to contact, via email, if you have concerns around this.
Run Move Connect Terms and Conditions
With the increase in membership numbers comes an increase in administration and management of member's subscriptions. We have been working in the background to develop Terms and Conditions to maintain transparency amongst our members and avoid conflicting information with regards to membership cancellation, expectations of members and booking policies.
If you would like to view our recently updated terms and conditions please click here.
Youth Engagement Program
With school/team sport starting up throughout the valley, is it a great opportunity to get your children involved in structured strength exercise to learn about their body, load management and for injury prevention.

Brad and Hannah are very passionate about getting the whole community moving and this includes our Huon Valley youth. Run Move Connect are proud to announce a Youth Engagement program which provides youths in our community a 6-week all-inclusive pass to RMC sessions. This program is tailored for 10-18 year olds who are interested in getting active within our community.
"This program will provide these young people with an opportunity to better understand the benefits of exercise and fitness training on their overall health and wellbeing. The project will be aimed at young people who are not currently engaged with a community group that promotes a healthy lifestyle and will promote the benefits of being part of such"
At the conclusion of this 6-week program a "youth membership" option is available. Priced at $15 a week, we hope to see our youth engagement graduates continue to run and get strong within our community.
If you know of any young member of our community that this may interest, please do not hesitate to email Brad or Hannah at hello@runmoveconnect.com.au

FOCUS THIS WEEK IS SINGLE LIMB
Single limb focuses on trunk control, trunk alignment, knee stability, upper body mobility and movement patterns.
Light- moderate resistance but focus on slow controlled movement with great technique.
Challenge your stability but be mindful that upper body stability is very hard when loaded too heavy

Please take SWEAT TOWELS and drink bottles with you throughout the session. We have new RMC sweat towels, don't hesitate to purchase one if you struggling to find one.
