Imagine a giant jungle gym for adults and you will have a fairly good idea about what goes on in our rig classes. We use the rig (jungle gym) as well as rubber bands , medicine and slam balls, steps, battle ropes, suspension training, kettlebells and even a truck tyre. All of these components make up circuits and add lots of body weight exercises like squats and press-ups and you end up with a fun, high octane class for all fitness capabilities from beginners to elite. You can make this class as hard as you want! You will get quick toning results from this all over body workout!
A class for all fitness levels – we use steps, swiss balls, bands, body weight exercises and dumbbells to deliver a very effective class for toning your legs, bums and tums. The classes are changed regularly to keep your body guessing and your mind excited.
Pilates uses gentle toning movements to sculpt and define the body. With a focus on core and balance work it is a great work out in itself or incorporated as part of your training regime
This class takes place upstairs in our boxing ring. You will be doing kettle bells, dumb bells, barbells, body weight exercises as well as our punch bags and long bags to kick and knee. We do mixed martial arts moves from various sports including Thai Boxing, Karate, Boxing and Ju Jitsu. This class is hard hitting and tones the whole body while still having fun.
Imagine the bags are that certain person you would love to punch and then kick and smash the bags and release your inner beast! This class is for all fitness levels but the harder you make it ….. the more you will love it!
By their nature, typical kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance, particularly in the lower back, legs, and shoulders, and increase grip strength. The basic movements, such as the swing, snatch, and the clean and jerk, engage the entire body at once, and in a way that mimics real world activities such as shoveling or farm work.
Unlike the exercises with dumbbells or barbells, kettlebell exercises often involve large numbers of repetitions. Kettlebell exercises are in their nature holistic; therefore they work several muscles simultaneously and may be repeated continuously for several minutes or with short breaks. This combination makes the exercise partially aerobic and more similar to high-intensity interval training rather than to traditional weight lifting. Because of their high repetitions, kettlebell progression should start out slowly to build muscle endurance, support the joints and prevent injury.
The movements used in kettlebell exercise can be dangerous to those who have back or shoulder problems, or a weak core. However, if done properly they can also be very beneficial to health. They offer improved mobility, range of motion and increased strength. Our instructors are here to support and teach correct posture and form. Injuries are handled with alternative excercises and you are only pushed to your existing ability.
