new year 2019.jpg

Happy new year to ye all! How was your break? Did you get much done or was it that twilight time when you spend the week after Christmas not having a clue what day it is? We kind of like that for a while, but we’re ready to get going again now and try out our new year’s resolutions.

Did you know that according to a recent UK poll, the most common New Year's resolutions include:

  • Exercise more (38%)

  • Lose weight (33%)

  • Eat more healthily (32%)

  • Take a more active approach to health (15%)

  • Learn new skill or hobby (15%)

  • Spend more time on personal wellbeing (12%)

Are your 2019 intentions on this list? Whatever your goals are we reckon that at TDR Academy we have something for everyone and that our personal approach to your body management will mean that you’re still on track a long time after 1st January!

The first things we need to share are our new classes. We still have our regular timetable (click here for details) and here are some new additions to our weekly schedule, which are suitable for any level:

Tuesdays with Tanya starts on 8th Jan:

  • 10-11am Yoga Medicine

Whatever you passion, we’re here to keep you motivated - whether in a class, through the best treatments in Ballyclare and the wider area, or a soothing relaxing massage, we’ve got it covered.

New classes starting soon and new developments for Jo and Tanya - have a read of the latest blog post to find out more exciting news!

yoga medicine tshirt with logo.png


Welcome back #TDRAcademyTribe and we hope you’ve had a great summer? What were your highlights? For Tanya it was being introduced to the paddle-board and getting to spend time on the North coast and all over Donegal developing her surfing skills would definitely be in the Top Five high points this year!

But it’s September now and time to settle back into a routine - time to return to work or school, time to book in new classes and, for Tanya and Jo, it’s time to pack their suitcase once more!

They’re both away to Spain on the final week’s training for Yoga Medicine from 14th - 22nd September with the big exam at the end. Good luck to them both!

As before, Tanya’s arranged cover for all the classes while she’s away with Olga and Tracy stepping in to make sure you don’t miss out. Obviously there’ll be no appointments with Tanya for that week, but Gary is around to offer top class sports massages - to book access the online booking system by clicking on the black link on any page from the website and create an account or login and search for a suitable appointment. You can also book via the MindBody app but it is not as up-to-date as the full desktop version of mindbody. You can text Tanya on 07879 415711, or email info@tdracademy.co.uk or Facebook message us and we’ll reply when we’re back to get you booked in for whatever you need - but remember that will be from the 23rd!!


New Classes Coming Soon with Our Newest Teacher!

jigsaw+hoop.jpg


This term, we’re also delighted to welcome Alana Johnston onto the TDR Academy team as our newest teacher. She’ll be offering a  6.30pm stretch and flex class and a 7.30pm aerial hoop beginners classes - both on Wednesdays. We’ve no set date as yet but we’re hoping for October. If you’re interested contact Tanya to put your name on the waiting list as we expect them to book out quickly!

With a passion for pole dancing, Alana is also into adult gymnastics and circus classes! Through teaching pole fitness, she was introduced to aerial hoop and fell in love with the strength, grace and skill needed in combination with the flexibility. And that love of flexibility brought her to yoga - which she is now bringing to you! Watch this space for dates.

We look forward to seeing back at TDR Academy and to sharing what we’ve learnt with our usual joy and enthusiasm. See you soon!

Best Charity Fundraising at the Lisburn Half Marathon in 13 years!!

Gary, Austin Benson and Ewelina Tomasiak formed the TDR team at the Lisburn Coca-Cola HBC Half Marathon, 10K Road Race & Fun Run on Wednesday 20th June. They had our banner and massage tables set up at the Lisburn LeisurePlex, and were offering pre and post-run sports massages.

Lisburn half marathon start line june 2018.jpg

An impressive 6,000 runners lined up to take part in the Lisburn Coca-Cola HBC Half Marathon, 10K Road Race and Fun Run last Wednesday evening, and of course TDR Academy was there!

Gary Wilson, Austin Benson and Ewelina Tomasiak formed the TDR team and had our banner and massage tables set up at the Lisburn LeisurePlex, where they were offering pre and post-run sports massages from 5.45-9.45pm. They were exceptionally busy working on those getting ready for their events and on exhausted and knotted muscles as runners finished their races. Don’t let these smiling faces deceive you - they were as tired as the runners by the end of the evening!

donation massage at Lisburn half marathon 2018 cropped.jpg

The sports massages are free, but people generously donated in aid of the MS Society NI and we raised £101.94!! This is the greatest amount we have raised in the 13 years (I know, 13 years!!) that we have been offering sports massage therapy at this fab event. Thank you to everyone that donated!!

A real highlight for Gary was meeting and massaging Eamon Loughran:

It’s not often you get to work on a former world boxing champion!

Eamon Loughran hails from Ballymena and is an Irish former professional boxer who fought in the light welterweight divisions. He’s the former Commonwealth Light Welterweight title holder and won the WBO Welterweight title as well, before retiring in March 1996.

The Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, Councillor Uel Mackin said:

The Half Marathon, 10k Road Race and Fun Run have been firm favourites with runners over the last 36 years and we are proud that the event has now become one of Northern Ireland’s largest participatory sports events. It was a pleasure to...see so many runners of all ages and levels of experience taking part in this great event. I was particularly delighted to welcome many international runners who had travelled a great distance to take part which highlights the calibre of this event with half marathon runners around the world.

The Chairman of the Council’s Leisure and Community Development Committee, Alderman Paul Porter added:

It was fantastic to see so many people come out in force to take part in the three events from competitive runners aiming for personal bests to those just running for fun with family and friends. We are pleased that we can organise so many sporting events like this one, which provide such encouragement and focus for people to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would like to thank everyone involved in organising such a successful event. I would particularly like to thank our title sponsors Coca-Cola HBC for their continued support towards this great event.

Cool FM were there too from 6pm, cheering on everyone taking part. They had Cool FM concert tickets and goody bags to give away, did you get any?!

TDR Academy enjoys supporting this event every year - we hope to see you again next year!!

Please note - ALL CLASSES are OFF during the week of 9th - 13th July.  The Academy will be closed completely only on 12th July.

july 2018 holidays.jpg

As we’ve come to expect in Northern Ireland, our summer weather has been very changeable since the long winter finally finished - fabulous sunshine last month when many of us headed to the beach, and now chilly cloudy skies and the threat of rain. But undeterred, we’re all looking forward to some time off with long school holidays stretching out ahead of us.

July Holidays

Please note that ALL CLASSES are OFF during the week of 9th - 13th July - to give you time to get out exploring!  Due to the expected holidays over the summer months - you will be given 2 extra weeks to be able to use your catch up classes if you miss any classes!  So no excuses when you get back to get your groove on again!

The Academy will be closed completely only on 12th July, with a reduced appointment schedule for Tanya Ross through the week.

Appointments for Injury Therapy, 1:1s and Sports Massage

Tanya will be off only on the 12th July but with a reduced schedule, and Gary is off from 10th-22nd July, but you can text us on 07879 415711, email info@tdracademy.co.uk or Facebook message us and we’ll reply when we’re back to get you booked in for whatever you need!

Lisburn Half Marathon on 20th June 2018

If you’re taking part in the Lisburn Half Marathon on Wednesday night, look out for our banner at the Lisburn LeisurePlex. Gary and the TDR team will be there offering pre and post-run massages from 5.45-9.45pm.  Set-up will be in the main sports hall so get down and get on the couch to aid your pre and post race efforts!

What better way to end your marathon than to have experienced sports massage therapist working on exhausted and knotted muscles and all for a good cause?! The massages are free, but with a suggested donation of £5 - all in aid of MS Society NI. An absolute necessity we think!!

Gary leg massage b&w.jpg

After such a great night, we were on a high on Saturday morning at the Co. Antrim Harriers race day.

Gary finished an amazing 3rd in the 5k!!

Straight after the event, Gary was set to work!! Tanya and Gary were both offering free sports massages and injury advice and they were certainly kept busy. So another big thank you goes to all those that generously donated money for their post run massage - we raised an amazing £96.80 for the MS Society NI! Awesome!!

It wasn't all work though, as Tanya proves you've got to have a laugh too supporting the CAH team mascot through all his hard work!

Talking of massages, remember that Gary’s 15% OFF PROMOTION finishes on 31st May, so there’s still time to get in there and book in. Or you could buy the massage now and book in after the end of the month. Remember you’ll need to book online on the desktop version from the website and NOT THE APP, as the app doesn’t accept the discount - just enter 15%SMGARYAPRMAY.

You can see why we’re still buzzing after a great Bank Holiday weekend and why we love our jobs so much. So, once again many thanks for your support and continuing interest in TDR. We hope we can continue to serve you in the best way we know how, but as always please let us know if there is anything more we can do for you.

Stay in touch!

Ballyclare May Fair's coming up & we'll be there!

We’re delighted to say that Gary and Tanya will be there supporting the runners by providing injury advice and post event sports massage at the Mayfair 10k Race and 5k Fun Run, organised by the Co. Antrim Harriers on Saturday 26th May 2018

Ballyclare May Fair Festival 2018.jpg

Another year has whizzed by and the Ballyclare May Fair is back on this Saturday for a week from 19th - 26th May! Will you be coming over to take a dander and join in the fun?

As is the tradition, the fair will kick off with the traditional horse fair in Six Mile Water Park. This is one of the few horse fairs left in Northern Ireland, although it’s much more than horse trading nowadays. There will be family activities, a local food and crafts market, live music in the evening, Mayor's parade, sports events and exhibitions - something for everyone! And around the town, local shops compete for the best-dressed window - which one do you prefer? 

The Big Race!

May-Fair-Race-A5-Flyer-V4.1-Print-Ready-1.png

One of the highlights for us is the Mayfair 10k Race and 5k Fun Run, organised by the Co. Antrim Harriers on Saturday 26th May 2018 at 10.00am. There’s still time to book through Athletics NI before entries close on 20th May.

We’re delighted to say that Gary and Tanya will be there to supporting the Co. Antrim Harrier's event and the runners by providing FREE injury advice and post-event sports massage on the day (10-15 minute sessions approximately). Spaces are limited and last just 10-15 minutes. Donations are very welcome for this service, with suggestions at £5, which will be donated to the running clubs nominated charity again. They’ll be in the function room upstairs in the rugby club, near the fire exit - call over and say hello!  Although if it's a very sunny day - they may just take advantage and set-up outside!! Come and say hi!!

  • The public should use the local Presbyterian Church car parks off the Doagh Road throughout the Festival and on Saturday 26th May, additional car parking is available at Ballyclare High School.

It’s that time of year again and we’re asking you to make a huge TDR Academy impact on the 2018 Ballyclare Business Awards. The Awards are a great way to recognise businesses that support Ballyclare and who take pride in their products, services as well as our local area. And two years on, we still firmly believe that’s us!

It’s that time of year again and we’re asking you to make a huge TDR Academy impact on the 2018 Ballyclare Business Awards.

This year we feel that we have a good chance with two categories:

  • Best Professional Services Provider award - we try so hard to help you!!!
  • Most Innovative Marketing Campaign award - we hope we have something different in our campaign to make you smile!!

The Awards are a great way to recognise businesses that support Ballyclare and who take pride in their products, services as well as our local area. For the two consecutive years running at the awards being voted for and shortlisted as runner up, we still firmly believe that’s us but that we could win this year!

You’ve all done us proud in the past and we’re asking the TDR Academy Tribe to support us in the public vote once again.  Only 1 vote per category per person - strict rules.  Any messing - your vote gets discounted!

All you need to do is click here between now and Wednesday 2nd May.

You can also post your support on Twitter and Instagram by using the hashtag #BClareBiz and follow @ballyclaretown but note this does not replace the actual vote.

The shortlist will be announced on Friday 4th May and shortlisted businesses will be invited to make a short written submission to the judging panel before 8th May (yikes!!). The winners will be announced at the awards evening on Friday 25th May in Ballyclare Town Hall.

So why should you vote for TDR Academy? Our team has grown this last year yo help you - (hello there Jo, Olga and Nicki!) - and we all passionately feel it’s important to go the extra mile to get you to your best!

We are the professional go-to studio for Pilates, Yoga and Aerial Fitness in Ballyclare and the surrounding towns and villages - whether you’re wanting a class or a 1:1 session, and Tanya can work with any goals, thanks to her depth of knowledge and experience. She’s also a highly qualified and experienced Advanced Neuromuscular & Sports Massage Therapist. Gary’s our resident Sports Massage Therapist, experienced in supporting many major sporting events in NI and abroad, including working with International level athletes. Through offering injury & pain management treatment sessions, sports massage and relaxation massage therapies - there’s something for everyone at TDR Academy to help you on your journey.

We are continually hoping to improve what we offer you, and following our recent Sports Massage discount scheme until the end of May (see our blog post or previous email), we are also announcing our new loyalty and referral reward scheme to help you continue to enjoy the benefits we bring to you and your friends and family!

That link again for voting - click here between now and Wednesday 2nd May.

The Ballyclare Town Team have requested that you please vote in all categories for the business of your choice - we hope it’s TDR Academy - as you will not be able to return to the voting page again once you have submitted your choice.

Please note - voting patterns are very closely monitored this year and voting irregularities (e.g. more than one vote for a business per IP address or sequential votes which may indicate votes have been purchased or purposely tampered with) will result in those votes being disqualified. So please vote on your own devices and only vote once.  Thank you for maximising your vote for us!!

Online Bookings Available at TDR Academy

So we have finally gone all techy and got ourselves an online booking system which also has an app for all our classes, workshops and appointments. It’s called MINDBODY - it’s used worldwide, and it operates with Paysafe for secure online payments.

mind body soul 1.jpg

We have been looking for ways to make life easier for you at TDR Academy and to keep our standards at our best for you when it comes to ease of booking in for services that suit you when it suits you. So we have finally gone all techy and got ourselves an online booking system which also has an app for all our classes, workshops and appointments. It’s called MINDBODY - it’s used worldwide, and it operates with Paysafe for secure online payments.  If you check it out, you’ll see plenty of people praising how easy it is to use and how flexible it is.

MindBody - Book Your Best Day. Every Day.

  • All of the current classes and upcoming workshops are now online and ready for you to book into!
  • If it says SIGN UP at a class, you can book in and pay under a PAYG pass for that specific class/teacher.
  • If there are block booking spaces left in a class - you will also be given the option to book and pay for a 6 wk block option for that class/teacher.
  • If you are interested in block booking for a specific class and there aren't enough spaces, then let Tanya know to add you to the 6 week block waitlist.
  • If you really want to attend a specific class but it's full, you can get priority booking by adding yourself to the waitlist and Mindbody will notify you by email when a space comes up.

Cool - isn't it?!

FIRST STEPS

Follow these first few steps which will make your future booking process with TDR as smooth as possible:

  • Firstly, click on the Mindbody image below to go to the Mindbody homescreen where you can create an account - this is the full Mindbody desktop version. If it asks you to download or use the APP at this stage, just hit the 'X' or close the app image screen down.
  • The option to use the APP may come up.  You can use it to enter your details but this is a separate system to the main Mindbody desktop site, and so to use both you will need to setup an account in each system. Please note - promotional codes to avail of any discounts can only be entered on the main desktop version as the APP cannot apply codes for discounts when making any purchases.
  • To ensure the system works effectively and for TDR Academy staff to see you on the system, you need to enter all your details into the main Mindbody site on the desktop version.  If you want repeat classes for example, under an automatic payment structure, this is the most important account.
  • If you need Tanya to help you with any areas, it is the main Mindbody desktop site that Tanya has access to, not your APP. So first step is preferred for you to set up the main Mindbody account before the APP.
  • You can also access the link to sign up for an account from the black bar across the top of every website page for www.tdracademy.co.uk.
Create a Mindbody Account Now!

Create a Mindbody Account Now!

  • As Mindbody booking software is used in various studios around the world, you have to search for TDR Academy when prompted, so that you are only setting up an account for TDR Academy at this time.
Mindbody home screen for TDR Academy.jpg

Creating Your Account/Profile in Mindbody - Desktop Version

Mindbody login screen for TDR Academy.jpg
  • Create an account by following the on screen prompts starting with entering your email address.  This is the email you will receive all the receipts, confirmations of bookings and reminders to. You will also be able to set up a password for your account.
  • You could use your Facebook account if you wish instead to start your login process.
  • Once in, please take your time to complete all sections/questions to ensure your account profile is fully complete, including your credit or debit card details. You can only book online if you have entered your card details as it secures your booking.
  • If you leave some details missing, it may exclude you from being able to book into specific services or receive important emails of your booking/payment details.
  • Please read through all the information and check all boxes to agree to our terms and conditions, cancellations policy, liability waiver and all other aspects outlined.
Classes screen in my client mindbody site.jpg

 

  • Payment for classes will be taken at the time of purchase. The actual credit for the class will be used on the day you attend the class unless you early cancel the class you are booked in for (24 hour cancellation required, otherwise it is a late cancel which results in the class credit being used).
Appointments screen in my client mindbody site.jpg

 

  • Payment for appointments will only be taken when you attend and are signed in by the member of staff at TDR Academy.
  • You can access all of your information in 'my info' and eg check 'purchase history' and your 'account' when you are logged in.
  • You can check all your scheduled bookings in 'my info' under 'my schedule'.
my schedule screenshot for mindbody.jpg
  • Get in there and have a good look around to see what is available!
  • The 'online store' is for making purchases for gift cards or for services but without actually booking in for anything - you are effectively buying a pass or credit for booking in at a later stage - so you can pay on your account credit.  Remember to have a look at expiry dates when purchasing to be sure you will be able to use the credit within the listed time frame.
  • If you have any problems, please get in touch with Tanya on info@tdracademy.co.uk or text or call 07879 415711 (text message preferred).

You Have the Power!!

Once you have all your account details in, you have the power to book online for classes, workshops and appointments either via this same login screen - which you can bookmark or save to your home screen for easy access from your computer, phone or tablet.

If you prefer now -  you can download the Mindbody - Book Fitness, Beauty & Wellness APP from the link below for your phone or tablet.  The app has lesser functionality than the full Mindbody site, so if you can't do what you would like on the app, then try again in the full site. However for simple bookings and cancellations - it should do the job!

Find it. Book it. Love it. 

Once you have downloaded The MINDBODY APP - it really is straightforward to use. Please note that you will have to set up another account in it and store your credit or debit card details to book in for appointments and to make purchases for classes and workshops - but note that your sign in details should be the same as in your main Mindbody account.

At the top of the screen click on the magnifying glass and type in TDR Academy to search for us.  Once you find us, click on us and then tap the little heart at the top above our name to 'favourite' us. Then scroll through the Schedule to find all our classes, workshops and appointments and simply select the one you want. Then book it - simple as. You can also look at the pricing options that are available online for purchase.

Remember if you are already booked into a block of classes at TDR, you can avail of the multiple class pricing option discounts!

  • If you are booking in for a different class in addition to your existing 6 wk block, you can book in under the 2nd class offer PAYG or if there are enough spaces in the class you could book in for the 2nd class offer 6wk block.
  • The same applies if you are doing 2 or more existing blocks of classes at TDR, a 3rd+ class offer applies for payg and 6 wk block if there is space.
mind body soul 2.jpg

You can see why we’re so excited - less time and effort spent finding a time and day to suit you has got to be good news for everyone! No more waiting on Tanya to get back to you - yeah!!!

  • All classes, workshops and appointments will require you to have an account to book in whether online, or if you are in the studio and wish to book in for anything, or if booking over the phone, or by text.
  • Even if you are not ready to book in today - you can still set up your account so when you are ready, its just a few clicks away. 
  • Appointments with Tanya can only be booked for one hour (due to system constraints).  Typically Tanya's appointments may be booked out 2 or 3 weeks in advance, unless cancellations arise (24 hours notice is required). If you wish to book for a different duration or for a treatment type that you do not see listed, then get in touch directly with Tanya by text preferably on 07879415711, or by calling or emailing to info@tdracademy.co.uk.
  • Please see the 'Online Store' menu in Mindbody for a full list of possible treatments, durations and pricing. For more information on the treatments available visit our Clinic page. For all treatment prices, visit our Pricing page.  If you purchase any treatment in the online store in Mindbody, this can be held on your account for use to pay when an appointment is actually booked in.

We hope you like our new system as much as we do!  Let us know if we can assist or guide you in anyway, or if you receive something that doesn't make sense!  We are still learning and building the software to make it our own, so that it fits more perfectly for you and for all of us at TDR. I hope I have shed enough light on the way forward.  Why not let us know on our Facebook page and let us know how you are getting on! We would love to hear from you!!

  • As Facebook is changing - you may not receive all our updates on our page unless you are actively commenting on and sharing what we post.
  • To try to help this, you can also join our TDR Academy Tribe page for all our past and existing attendees to be sure to be kept notified of any updates and chatter from TDR.  This is open to everyone.
  • Or if you are currently attending any classes at TDR then you can also join our TDR Academy Class Members page to be notified of anything specific to our classes and to join in any discussions that arise out of class or if you just need some support to get moving! 
  • Either way comment and share and let's get something started!!

So what are you waiting for! Sign up today and we hope to see you soon at TDR!
