✨ First Week Round-Up


And just like that, the first week of 2026 is behind us!


Whether you’ve returned to class, tried a few online sessions or simply moved a little more each day, give yourself credit. Gentle January isn’t about pushing yourself hard, it’s about building habits that feel good and leave your body feeling supported.


Remember, consistent small steps make more difference than intense bursts you can’t sustain. Take today to stretch, breathe and reflect on what movement made you feel good this week.


If you’d like to keep the momentum going, there’s plenty of classes waiting for you, both in-person and online. Book your spot and keep moving gently:

Gentle January

Fact Friday ✨


A lesser known fact about Pilates is that many of the exercises are designed to support your joints, not strain them. The controlled movements help lubricate joints by encouraging gentle circulation of fluid around them, which can make everyday movement feel smoother and more comfortable.


This is one of the reasons Pilates works so well in January. It helps you rebuild strength and mobility after a busy season without the shock of high impact exercise.


Gentle, consistent movement supports your body far better than pushing through soreness or fatigue.


If you’d like to give pilates a try you can join me in class or move from home with my online sessions, check out my availability at www.dawnchambersfitness.com/book-online

Bubble Bath Day

✨ Bubble Bath Day


Gentle January isn’t just about how you move, it’s also about how you rest.


A warm bath can help relax tight muscles, ease joint stiffness and calm the nervous system after a busy day. The warmth encourages blood flow which can help your body recover and feel more comfortable, especially in colder weather.


Think of it as part of your movement routine rather than a treat you have to earn. A soak, a few deep breaths and a moment to switch off can leave you feeling more relaxed and ready to move again tomorrow.


Kindness to your body always counts 🤍
