Welcome to Transformanother special publication

created by your friendlyChampion Newspaper team.

We hope you’ll enjoy reading it and fi nd it a useful and practical guide to the many ways and opportunities you have to Transform your lives and homes.

The principle behind Transform is to showcase how you can make huge differences to your lifestyle without having to spend vast fortunes.

Within these pages we bring you interesting news and information on local businesses offering services and goods to help Tranform your lives in a colourful supplement delivered free.

The advertisers you see in this supplement are well known to us. They are reliable and trustworthy and the owners and managers not only earn their living from within this community but are often actively involved within it too.

And that can mean we have the added reassurance that using a local business brings. Local often equals a faster, more reliable service with greater peace of mind. It also helps keep the wheels of the local business community turning too and that has got to be a good thing.

Taking steps to Transform your health, your home and your life does not have to cost the earth. Sometimes it’s the simple things like a new hairstyle or buying an everyday household item that gives the greatest pleasure of all.

We all know that a little treat now and again never did anybody any harm but when it comes to time for spending on the big ticket items, making the right choice is vital - even more so in today’s climate - and this is exactly how Transform can be of help.

Keep this publication for future reference and as a source of good information.

When you are ready for a Transformation let our advertisers know that you saw their advertisement in this publication.

Happy Transformations to you all.

The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the home and can be revamped by making changes big or small.

Just a few key adjustments can have a dramatic effect on the look of the room, such as replacing worktops and tiles, updating appliances, re-papering walls or painting cupboard doors.

Or why not introduce new elements to your kitchen such as a cooker hood or a butchers block.

Alternatively, splashing out on a whole new set of fi xtures and fi ttings can create a luxurious environment to cook in, whilst breathing new life into your home and increasing the value of the property.

Make sure you are happy with the positioning of all the necessary storage areas and appliances, and make the most of the space you have.

In kitchens with too much space, unnecessary and unattractive banks of cupboards could be replaced with another appliance or a breakfast bar, and items such as suspended pot racks and the tops of eye-level kitchen units could provide extra storage in rooms with very little space.

Flooring can bring colour, texture and warmth to a room.

Whilst you want every space in your home to look stylish, it is important to think about how a room is used, who uses it and what furniture will be placed there when picking fl oor materials.

Carpets can provide a safer, gentler surface thatís ideal for when babies and toddlers are around, as well as bringing added benefi ts like an extra layer of insulation that could lower winter fuel bills and a quieter atmosphere thanks to their sound insulation effects.

On the other hand, fl ooring materials like lino and vinyl are durable and easy to clean and maintain.

If youíre looking at the various fl ooring options for your home, there are plenty of specialists across Sefton that can help you buy and fi t the right carpet or fl ooring to match your interior and your budget.

From tiles and laminate fl ooring through to wood, carpets and lino, itís easy to fi nd something that looks great but also serves a purpose.

Alternatively, adding a rug can be a simple and cost effective way to spruce up an existing fl oor rather than replacing it entirely.

Everyone is guilty of having at least fi ve items in their wardrobe they know they will never wear again. It may have looked fabulous 10 years ago, and you may tell yourself the right occasion may come along to wear it again but we all know there just isn’t a place for sequin boob tubes or white fl ared disco trousers anymore.

This season why not transform your look with a new wardrobe. Throw out those fashion faux pas and re vamp your wardrobe with all this seasons must haves.

High street stores are packed full of the latest trends and designer shops are calling out for you to go in and splurge.

Many stores now offer a personal shopper service. The personal shopper will discuss your style with you and show you what shapes suit your body and may even introduce you to new styles you wouldn’t normally go for.

A good tip is to take a friend along and each choose a new look for each other - just make sure it is a friend you trust!

So have a browse through some fashion magazines and get shopping for your fabulous new wardrobe.

READY FOR THE BEACH?Shaping up for summer is easierthan you could ever imagine withGymophobics unique 30 minuteworkout.Since opening the firstGymophobics in Lichfield just 3years ago more than 5,000women of all ages have achieveddramatic inch and weight loss.With ten centres open and manymore scheduled for this year,Gymophobics has become thefirst port of call for women whohate conventional health clubsand find them intimidating.

• Donna(founder)

We asked Donna Hubbard(Gymophobics founder) toexplain their amazing success:Donna “Ladies love Gymophobicsbecause of the very fast inch andweight loss, but there are manyother reasons for its popularity.Most women find Gymsintimidating, so I have madeGymophobics a friendly, socialand all female environment. MostGyms are very impersonal, butGymophobics has a caringapproach that makes every ladyfeel special”.

What women useGymophobics?Donna: “Basically, women whodon’t want to spend hours in thegym and want some TLC andattention while they exercise. Ourladies range from 14 years to 85 atGymophobics and most have neverused a Gym before. If you feelunfit or overweight, a conventional

Gym can be quite scary, with verylittle attention and no emphasis onresults. At Gymophobics however,we are obsessed with results and itshows!”

Tell us about the resultsDonna: “Most women lose a dresssize in the first few weeks and goon to achieve the ideal weight andmeasurements for their height

and frame size. Each programme isfocused on the client’s goals soinch loss is always from theproblem areas. Our programme is

particularly good at lifting the Bust,flattening the tummy, trimminginches from the waist, hips andthighs and firming flabby areas likethe back of the arms”.How easy is Gymophobics?Donna: “Our specially designedmachines make exercise feel as ifyou are pushing or pulling against acushion of air. Ladies love the factthat there are no clanking weights,no pounding treadmills or heart-stopping fitness classes. In just 30minutes the whole body isexercised – ideal for ladies with abusy lifestyle! All visits are byappointment so there is no waitingaround at Gymophobics either”.

Is it expensive?“With Courses averaging less than£28 per month we are less than halfthe cost of most Health Clubs andsaving £55.00 on Enrolment duringEaster fortnight there has neverbeen a better time to get started”.To arrange a Guest Visit to findout more give Donna and herteam a call on 01785 250001.

Don’t rely on New Years resolutions to encourage you to change your look (we all know we never keep to them and joining a gym January 1 is asking for trouble). Take advantage of the deals and services to make the most of yourself now.

Transforming your look doesn’t just involve sprucing up your wardrobe. It is about taking control from head to toe.

Just getting a facial once a month can change how you feel outside and in, and with more and more beauty and dental consultants offering non-surgical procedures there is every opportunity to improve on anything you don’t like without doing anything too invasive.

A great start for any new look is a new haircut. Why not go for the chop and go for an uber-trendy pixie crop. Or if you have always envied friends with long hair, hairdressers why not try some extensions. Hairdressers can match your colour and cut them for a natural fi nish.
