There is something that is common for all of us and that we all do in the same way; wherever we come from, wherever we live, whatever we think: we like going home for Christmas…

And with the help of mum, grannies, brothers, boyfriends or friends there is always something that we all do too much in Christmas: Eating!

But then, the ‘day-after’ all that feast arrives and your favourite trousers do not fit as they used to be… And the mirror betrays you making very evident that your body has a few kilos more!! It is on this cold Monday morning when you think of your granny’s puddings and of your mother serving you more portions of each dish every two minutes!!!

But there is a solution for everything in life. You can stop eating for some weeks or … start attending a gym that will bring your confidence and your agility back.

In Barcelona there is a wonderful place to recommend, a gym from the international company Holmes Place. It is right in the city centre(calle Balmes, just 5 minutes walk from our school) where you can find a space to really feel comfortable and good.

The staff makes you feel at home from the very beginning and the variety of activities makes even the laziest person in the world move!

If you want to lose weight fast, come to do spinning, dance or steps lessons.

If you want to feel relaxed after a hard working day, nothing better than yoga or stretching with music in Body Balance. You will come out feeling much better with yourself.

If work makes you have a bad posture or you don’t feel very flexible, try Pilates. There  must be a reason why half of the world practices it and for keeping Madonna in such a good shape!

If you are more spiritual or you have other preferences, the list of wonders is not over yet.

There are also Oriental disciplines such as Tai-Chi or you can enjoy the pool which does not have any chemicals in its water. Afterwards, you can also visit the Bio-sauna or even enjoy the Jacuzzi.

Wherever you choose to do, there will be always a personal trainer willing to help you and advice what is better for you.

And just a tip that will probably please you all: in the changing rooms there is shower gel, shampoo, towels and even parfum for free!

Try it! Ask for a one-day pass to spend a nice time doing something that will make you feel great! You can find these in the school or directly in the gym.

If you want more information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! I look forward to receiving your comments!
