Jacqui working on her javelin technique

We finished updating our studio recently. We've put in a wooden floor, repainted and a few other little touches

Jacqui is training pretty hard in Italy ready for the Heptathlon Masters World Championships in Spain in a few weeks time. The kids and I are just eating lots of pizza and ice cream!

Jacqui will be competing in the World Masters Athletics Championships in Malaga in September in the Heptathlon. In her recent British Masters Heptathlon she scored 3823 points. To get a medal, which she really wants to do, would take around 4250 points. This would probably need 7 PB’S (8 if you count the heptathlon score as well). There is now 5 x weeks of training to go and we will add some updates on our Facebook page.

Salsa, Flamenco & Tango have been the dance themes this term in Move2Dance. Have a nice summer holiday and see you in September http://www.balance-dance.co.uk/move2dance .htm

Well done to Jacqui finishing 1st in the British masters heptathlon championships this weekend and well done to everyone who took part.

Well done to all the cheerleaders for another amazing year. You all work really hard and do yourselves proud. A special mention to the Cheerleader of the Year Lauren Lagan and Young Cheerleader of the Year Myah Robins.

A really nice video for three lions on the bbc website today and good luck to England tonight! - https://www.bbc.co.uk/…/three-lions-dav id-baddiel-moved-by-…

Busy setting up for Gloucester wildcats award party

Thank you to the district sports athletes from Eastington primary school for the card and sweets. Matt helped them with their athletics training for a few weeks and they did well finishing 5th.

A good coaching session at Gloucester AC tonight. I'm now just working on my pole vault (and it needs lots of work)

We had a fun afternoon at the British Athletics Championships. Well done to Gloucester's Gareth Winter for getting a bronze and Craig Murch for finishing 5th.

Working on cradles at Gloucester Wildcats cheerleading tonight

Well done to all the Wildcats who performed at the Hardwicke School summer fair yesterday. There were around 50 cheerleaders taking part which is amazing!

Well done to Gloucester AC in todays Youth Development League competition.
Everyone performed really well and filled in where we had gaps in events. Some notable performances from four athletes who started feeling sick and carried on with their events, one athlete who fell over the last sprint hurdle and got up and finished, and one athlete who in the 4 x 300m was that determined to win that they dived over the line bruising their knee!
The provisional results are in and Gloucester were 3rd today and 2nd overall which (subject to checking and confirmation) means they have made the promotion play off on the 21st July at Swindon!

Gloucester wildcats middle class working hard in their training tonight

Wow. When we first came to see you for the first dance lessons for our wedding we never imagined that the end result would be like this. We have never danced before, and with Jacqui's patience, determination and enthusiasm we did it and it was amazing! We are going to miss our sessions with you. This was definitely the highlight of our day and we certainly surprised our guests! Thank you so so much. Very highly recommended! Xx

Thanks to Jacqui for putting together a great routine for our wedding’s first dance very last minute! You made the week before our wedding entertaining and fun learning our routine. It went down a storm so thank you xx

My daughters started cheerleading in April this year and so far they have loved it they have learnt new things and improved on things they knew, they really enjoy going each week, trying to find somewhere for both m girls to do at a fair price was becoming hard and then I found wildcats and glad I did

My daughter loves it has made new friends and gained confidence highly recommend bring on the next term

My daughter has been doing cheerleading with glos wildcats for over a year it's fantastic for exercise and her confidence has grown so much she would go everyday if she could.

My daughter had a cheerleading party to celebrate her 7th birthday. The birthday girl & all her friends had SO much fun, & what they achieved in the time was fantastic! Thank you so much Jacqui X

My daughter celebrated her 6th birthday with a cheerleading class run by Jacqui and she absolutely loved it! There were 22 kids at the party, a mix of boys & girls and she controlled them all really well! What was especially nice to see was how she interacted with some of the shyer children and gave them the encouragement they needed to join in. Thanks Jacqui!

My Daughter has been a member of the Wildcats from day 1. She attends twice a week & loves the team spirit competitions & has made some great friends. Cheerleading has increased her strength fitness flexibility & confidence.

My 6 year old daughter had a cheerleading party with 14 of her friends, 2 of them boys. They all LOVED it!! Jacqui was lovely and amazing with all the kids! She kept them all completely entertained and it was incredible how much she covered/what she got out of the kids during the hour and a half. I can't recommend her enough!!! Thanks Jacqui x

My 10 year old daughter has had a fantastic cheerleading party today hosted by Jacqui who had them completely entertained for the whole party. Would thoroughly recommend it, all the girls enjoyed it and the dance routine was amazing... from complete novices to very able cheerleaders in 90 minutes!

Jacqui choreographed and taught us our first dance for our wedding. She was very patient and never laughed at us!

The dance was a huge success!

Thank you jacqui!!!!

Jacqui choreographed and taught us a dance for our first dance at our wedding. Neither of us had any experience with dancing but Jacqui put us at ease and took us through individual steps then put it all together for us. By the end of it we had a fab routine to our chosen first dance song! We got great comments on the night. Thank you for being patient with us Jacqui!!

Jacqui choreographed a fantastic routine for my daughter Victoria's cheerleading Birthday party! It's amazing how she was able to organise a group of 17 girls aged 10 & 11, the majority of which she hadn't met before, to produce such a great routine which they all thoroughly enjoyed and had so much fun in learning and performing! I would 100% recommend having a cheerleading party with Jacqui!

I organised a cheerleading lesson with Jacqui for a friend's hen party. I would really recommend it for a hen party activity (or indeed for any party for a group of friends of any age). It was great fun and a really good way for everyone to get to know each other! Jacqui has been great at all stages from planning and booking to taking the session on the day - the 1.5 hour lesson was really well planned out. I think we were all impressed with what we managed to produce! Thank you again, Jacqui!

I have two girls who are 6 and 7 who have been part of Gloucester Wildcats almost since they started and they love every minute of it.

I contacted Balance Health Fitness & Dance to see if it was possible to do a cheerleading party in Cheltenham for my daughter's 8th birthday party. Jacqui was more than happy to do this, she choreographed a fab routine to suit all abilities, to daughters favourite song of the moment! The whole family (including sons) thought this was a great party and found Jacqui to be lovely and brilliant! Thank you x
