CROSSFIT
CrossFit is a dynamic and high-intensity fitness programme that combines elements from various disciplines like weightlifting, gymnastics, and aerobic exercises to enhance overall physical strength, endurance, and flexibility. Each session, known as a WOD (Workout of the Day), is designed to push participants to their limits in a supportive and group-based environment. This class is perfect for individuals looking to improve their physical fitness in a comprehensive manner, fostering not only physical strength but also cardiovascular health, agility, and balance.
-
Olympic Weightlifting
Olympic Weightlifting focuses on mastering two core lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk, which are both complex movements that require a blend of strength, speed, and technique. This class is dedicated to improving explosive power, coordination, and overall strength, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their athletic performance. Participants will learn proper form and technique under expert guidance, ensuring safe and effective progress in these challenging lifts, which are beneficial not just for weightlifters but for athletes across all sports.
-
Conditioning
Conditioning classes are designed to increase cardiovascular fitness and endurance through a variety of high-intensity workouts. These sessions often include a mix of running, rowing, skipping, and bodyweight exercises, aimed at improving stamina, speed, and metabolic conditioning. Ideal for those looking to shed fat, build endurance, and enhance their energy levels throughout the day, conditioning classes provide a fast-paced, varied workout that keeps participants engaged and motivated towards achieving their fitness goals.
-
Gymnastics
Our Gymnastics classes focus on bodyweight exercises and movements that enhance flexibility, strength, and body control. Emphasising core stability, balance, and coordination, these sessions teach participants how to effectively manipulate their body in space, leading to improved posture, muscular symmetry, and functional strength. This class is suitable for individuals of all fitness levels, providing scalable exercises that cater to beginners and advanced athletes alike, aiming to master movements like handstands, pull-ups, and muscle-ups.
-
Aerobic Body Building
Aerobic Body Building is a unique fusion of aerobic exercise and strength training designed to sculpt the body while improving cardiovascular health. This class combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with light to moderate weightlifting to target fat loss, muscle tone, and endurance simultaneously. Participants will enjoy a varied workout that keeps the heart rate up while strategically working different muscle groups, making it an ideal choice for those looking to achieve a lean, toned physique without sacrificing cardiovascular fitness.
-
Strength
Strength classes are dedicated to building raw power and muscle mass through compound lifts and resistance training. Focusing on exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, these sessions aim to improve muscular strength and endurance. This class is perfect for individuals looking to increase their overall lifting capacity, enhance athletic performance, and build a solid foundation of muscle. With progressive overload and proper technique at its core, strength training offers benefits that extend beyond the gym, including improved bone density, posture, and metabolic rate.
