i.Form gym is located just on the right hand side as you are driving north towards Coop Enebyberg. Although it does not look fantastic from the outside, as you enter the doors you are WOW’d. As they say, never judge a book by its cover! There is a massive seating area where you can grab a coffee a bite to eat, meet friends or sit and chat along with the reception staff. The suite itself has only been open since February and boy it looks good. The lady on reception was kind enough to show me around. It has the usual weights area, fitness machines and spinning class room. They have a large room towards the back of the building where all of the classes are conducted, a water massage bed for those aching muscles after a heavy fitness session and a top tanning machine, sauna and steam shower. There is a children's corner for those over 3 years (I’m not sure if this is staffed) The facility is fully air conditioned too. Classes offered are Circuit Training, High Intensity Training, Hatha Yoga, Body pump, Spinning, Latin Fusion, Core and Zumba. | i.Form's summer schedule: |
On my way to the supermarket, I spotted a sign for a fitness suite. Intrigued, I decided to pull in and find out more.

Part of our Rinkeby wood is being dug up during the summer holidays to make space for a new 'snow depot' - where the snow that is cleared from the roads in the winter is dealt with. The previous snow depot was on a piece of land that has been sold, somewhat controversially, to Good to Great Tennis Academy, who will build an elite tennis academy - Catella Arena - on the site (see our recent post about the arena here).
The 5000 square metre site (about the size of a football pitch) is not in the area of the woods that is a Nature Reserve. It is behind the recycling area off Edsbergsvägen where the car park for Danderyds Golfklubb is. Although the neighbourhood needs and wants the depot, people living around the site received no warning that it was coming and have criticised the council for not giving any notice. The nature association, Naturskyddsföreningen, was also not pleased that no environmental study was conducted first. The main concern for them is that when snow is dumped, oil from the road and bits of tarmac naturally come too and that would like to see what will happen to that when the snow melts. The site will open in the autumn (2016) and the kommun plans to evaluate the environmental impact before the first snow comes. A new world-class tennis arena is coming to Danderyd and will be open, ready to use, in the autumn next year (2017). Construction of the 12,000 m2 Catella Arena has started on the site of the previous 'snow depot' on Rinkebyvägen (more news follows about that shortly). The arena is being built by the Good to Great Tennis Academy and sponsored by Catella. It will be open for all to use - professional players and recreational players - and will house:
The Good to Great Tennis Academy was founded by Davis Cup winners Magnus Norman, Nicklas Kulti and Mikael Tillström. There are never more than 3 players per coach and their emphasis is on quality. At the moment they have few spaces but they hope to train many more players once the arena opens.

It was a very busy workshop or so it seemed, as there were half-finished pieces and pieces ready for customer collection. The room was filled with a hectic yet calming aura.

The newest addition to Danderyd's art galleries - Galleri Baginski - has a large collection of new artwork for sale and they are launching the 'Let's Art' exhibition tomorrow (Saturday 21st May 2016). We snuck in and took a peek yesterday. See the gallery's website for better photos than we took! The 180m2 gallery is tucked in at the back of the estate where Flugger Färg is. There is parking. The gallery is open from 11am to 4pm on Saturday and 11am to 3pm on Sunday. It is also open every weekday from 12 noon to 6pm. For more information and lots of photos of the artwork, see their website: www.baginski.se
Hamnens day: 28th May 2016 Between midday and 4pm, boats small, large and under the water are available to explore, fire engines ready to be climbed on and generally a lot to look at and do happens at Stocksund's Hamnens Dag. Marina läroverket (the college at the marina) and Stocksunds boatclub invite everyone to eat, drink and enjoy the spring. Worth going to, especially with children.
