Bodywise Fitness Centre - Bungay's Gym

BODYWISE FITNESS CENTRE in Bungay is now in its 7th year, and Bodywise can literally be said to be going from strength to strength. In fact over a thousand local people regularly use the gym and membership continues to rise unabated.

With so many advantages to maintaining fitness - not least flexibility; lowering cholesterol! blood pressure/anxiety; improving posture and general life expectancy, it is not surprising that new beginners look for a gym that can offer patient advice and good all round care.

James Paterson is a fully qualified gym instructor and first aider. All new members fill in a medical questionnaire and undertake a short taster session on some of the basic equipment. This allows for an individual training programme to be devised that will cater exclusively for that new member.

Most importantly all members receive permanent on-going supervision to ensure they are achieving the maximum enjoyment and results. Friendly and approachable staff are always on hand seven days a week.

James really takes your fitness seriously, which is particularly encouraging for those members only just starting out, or those with any special needs. In fact the gym is able to cater for many disabled clients, designing a programme specifically for individual needs. Personal attention is paramount.

Fitness awareness, like the Atkins diet, is a very popular phenomenon yet James is a dedicated, long term professional who imparts his thorough expertise by giving customers prolonged fitness that should be the key to a new happy, healthy lifestyle.

Most gym enthusiasts will already know of Bodywise’s excellent variety of equipment. Along with all the customary treadmills; rowers; step machines; Swiss balls and so on, the gym has a notable selection of free weights and resistance machines. New equipment includes cross trainers and seated rowers plus an ab-machine.

The huge, ex-warehouse has been skilfully designed with over 45 variable work stations set in a bright modern environment: fully carpeted and wall mirrored and with tasteful showers and locker rooms. There is even a professional vertical sunbed offering fast tanning at just £1 for three minutes.

James is also a qualified personal fitness trainer and can offer the ultimate one to one session for anyone who has a mission to achieve that peak performance.

Bodywise is of course open to both male and females of any age (over 16). Potential new members are warmly invited to come along and view the facilities. There is easy parking in the extensive car park. From there on it is up to you, with a little professional guidance, to take on the challenge of getting the best out of yourself. It makes perfect sense and perfect bodies too. What more incentive could there be?

Exercise is good for you

EXERCISE AND CORONARY RISK
It’s widely recognised that a sedentary inactive lifestyle is harmful to health. In basic terms you will have a lower risk of illness and death if regular moderate exercise is performed.


PERFORMING A BALANCED WELL DEVISED PROGRAM ON REGULAR INTERVALS WILL:

1 Reduce the risk of dying prematurely

2 Reduce the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease

3 Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure

4 Reduces the risk in developing diabetes

5 Helps reduce blood pressure in those who already have it

6 Reduces the risk in developing colon cancer

7 Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety

8 Helps control weight

9 Helps build and maintain healthy bones and joints

10 Helps older adults become more strong and mobile

11 Promotes psychological well-being


MAJOR RISK FACTORS OF CORONARY RISK ARE:

1 Smoking is the biggest risk factor and you will have 2 or 4 times the risk of non-smokers. Smokers who have a heart attack are more likely to die within 1 hour than non-smokers.

2 High blood pressure causes the heart to enlarge and over time will weaken, regular exercise has been shown to lower diastolic and systolic pressure.

3 High blood cholesterol will increase coronary risk considerably, again a well devised program performed on a regular basis may lead to reductions in cholesterol levels.

4 A sedentary lifestyle is a major factor as is a poor diet.

Indigo & Shibori from Callishibori, Wortwell, Harleston

enabling you to create shibori,
and experience the magic of indigo

Callishibori
Callishibori has made the specialist art of indigo dyeing and shibori accessible and achievable both to the beginner and the more experienced textile practitioner.

Not until Callishibori have indigo, the necessary reducing agent, fabric prepared with a design, and stitch formats been brought together, with thorough instruction. They are presented as informative starter packs and project packs.

For the beginner, the starter packs make that first step into the world of indigo shaped resist dyeing, 'shibori', much less daunting, and provide a solid foundation upon which to build skill and knowledge. The more experienced textile practionioner can benefit from a tailor made service, as ingredients can be supplied for their specified vat size.

With stitch instruction, templates and the ever poplular 'Seriously Strong Thread' you will be able to design your own patterns, and produce unique indigo shibori fabrics which are ideal for patchwork and quilting, embroidery, art textiles, fashion and many other textile disiplines. They can, of course be enjoyed as indigo fabrics in their own right!

Callishibori came about by listening to students. Now almost everything that is needed to start an indigo shibori project is just there, conveniently packaged, with easy to follow instructions and generous information.

Indigo
The story of indigo is amazing! Known to man in ancient times and harvested from plants flourishing in hot climates, it became the world’s most important dyestuff by the end of the 17th century. The invention in 1856 of the first coal tar dyestuff heralded the manufacture of synthetic indigo some years later.

Shibori
With shibori resists, (and shibori relief), one is immediately engaged with the fabric, organising it, then securing it, often into odd shapes and distorted 3D forms, before it is dyed. It is the essence of fabric manipulation - quite different from other textile colouring methods in which cloth is kept flat and open to receive dye.

Callishibori enables you to create shibori and enjoy the magic of indigo through indigo dye packs, stitch packs, shibori stencils and much more. Products are available through mail order, at shows and exhibitions.

"My educational programme includes masterclasses, workshops and summer schools. Power Point presentations.

'Kaleidoscope' is currently on display in a major touring exhibition on indigo. 'Indigo, a blue to dye for' runs until early January at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery."
