Benefits of Fitness Classes

There are numerous advantages to participating in fitness classes at your local club, particularly when you find the right class for you. Alongside the physical benefits such as improved cardio fitness, weight loss and enhanced muscle tone, classes are a great source of motivation to work harder during a training session, thanks to the encouragement of both your instructor and fellow class-goers.
Booking into a regular class will help you to maintain a routine, while attending a range of different classes is a great way for beginners to learn new exercises and try new types of training. Our experts will help you to feel comfortable, no matter what you experience level is. And finally, classes give you the opportunity to meet new people and develop friendships.

HIIT Sessions

HIIT (high intensity interval training) sessions are great for anyone looking for a challenging workout. During any HIIT class you will perform a variety of different exercises to work lots of muscle groups, alternating between spurts of intense work and periods of rest.

Our most popular HIIT class, BLAZE, combines cardiovascular training with strength and combat skills to give a challenging workout in a purpose-built studio. The class will change from week to week to ensure you’re kept on your toes. Find out more about BLAZE.

Yoga & Pilates classes

To some, exercise is more about taking a steady approach to increase flexibility, calm the mind and develop a strong, stable core. Our holistic classes, as part of our wider wellness offering, allow you to do just that. 

Pilates sessions are designed to concentrate on slow and measured movements to create strong, lean muscles whilst improving your posture and flexibility. Plus, our Reformer Pilates classes can take your experience to a new level, as exercises are performed through greater ranges of motion and involve increased resistance provided by a specialist frame.

Our Mind and Body studios also form the perfect environment for an extensive range of yoga classes. With everything from Ashtanga to Hatha available for members to enjoy, these sessions will help you to feel supple, relaxed and energised. We also offer Meditation and Tai Chi classes at various clubs to ensure there’s a way for everybody to relax.

And if you fancy something that combines elements of yoga, Pilates and sound meditation, try SPIRIT, our latest holistic class which provides an energising yet calming workout.

Strength & conditioning

Our great range of strength and conditioning classes offer the perfect alternative or accompaniment to weight training and resistance workouts in the gym. Feel more toned, stronger and increase your muscle mass via a number of great group classes.

BODYPUMP is one of our most popular classes, and uses weighted exercises with plenty of repetition to give a full body workout and burn loads of calories. Likewise, Legs, Bums and Core incorporates movements with various pieces of equipment to target those stubborn areas that often need a little extra work.

If you’re looking for something a little gentler, our Total Conditioning classes include exercises to improve aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility using a variety of equipment, as well as body weight exercises. Plus, many of our gym floor HIIT classes include elements of strength and conditioning training too.
