DANCEFIT is a brilliant dance-based class, easy to follow and with awesome music! We love this class, it's such good fun and makes you happy! It's a great way to burn some calories, improve co-ordination and listen to some great tunes. You need a small amount of co-ordination, but we certainly aren't dancers so don't worry you won't be good enough - we make a lot of mistakes and it's always fun.
FITNESS PILATES A lovely class to strengthen, lengthen and relax. This is a great low-impact class suitable for both beginners and fitness bunnies alike - it's particularly good for runners & cyclists who need to improve their flexibility & work on core strength. This is a Pilates 'based' class using Pilates-style conditioning exercises that work your whole body, emphasising posture, glutes, abdominals, shoulders & back. We sometimes use mini balls & bands to assist. If you have serious back problems then it's not the class for you, but minor wear & tear is fine! Get in touch if you're not sure.
KETTLEBELLS An AWESOME class to make you sweat, get strong and have fun! Using a kettlebell (provide your own but I do have a few spare ), we work through a variety of moves that challenge and work the entire body - you will sweat, you will ache, we will chat nonsense, but you will go home fitter and stronger and with your life changed!
FITNESS YOGA This is a fitness-based Yoga class incorporating deep stretch, Yoga postures and fitness principles in one class. You can really expect to improve your strength and flexibility within 8 weeks - we have seen some incredible results in this class! There is none of the 'mystery' of traditional yoga; exercises are chosen for their physical benefits to improve strength, flexibility & co-ordination, and for relaxation.
TONING & MOANING (Zoom only) A fun, low-impact class using handweights (ideally dumbbells but can be adapted to do with a kettlebell) we work the whole body with upper and lower body sets and usually some core strength work too for good measure. There is no jumping/bouncing so it's a great class if you're not ready for impact (or just don't like it!) However, don't be mislead into thinking it's easy - if you have the right size weights it's a GREAT all over workout that will target the whole body. TUESDAY MOANING MASHUP A great mix of our favourite Tone & Moan with Fitness Pilates/Yoga stretch/relaxation to finish off. Suitable for all levels of fitness, this class combines all you need - strength, core, flexibility & relaxation (& chat!) all in one go :-) You'll need some dumbbells (or a kettlebell) and a mat.
FITNESS FLOW - The perfect mix of Fitness Pilates and Fitness Yoga, this 45 minute long class is designed to strengthen, stretch and re-invigorate the whole body! Using a variety of Pilates exercises and Yoga poses , the class is brilliant for improving posture, core, all-over strength and flexibility while remaining low-impact so is easy on the joints. No prior Pilates/Yoga experience required - totally beginner friendly! Please bring a mat with you.
CHAIR YOGA - the latest addition to the timetable. This is a fantastic class for anyone who would like the benefits of a yoga based class but without having to get up and down! We work on strength, flexibility, mobility and balance in this gentle but effective chair based workout. Suitable for pretty much everyone!
