The strength class focuses on developing core strength and stability, and strengthening common weaknesses such as shoulders, hips and knees. Exercises vary in difficulty during the class. For participants differing in ability and strength, the instructor will allow for this with less repetitions or a modified exercise. It is usually more beneficial to do less repetitions with proper form than to worry about doing all the repetitions and cheating – as you get stronger you’ll do more anyway.

The classes are for everyone but will particularly suit athletes and those that are not doing the necessary strength training for their sport. The hour will also teach the participant new exercises and correct technique. One strength class a week saves you going to the gym so why pay that membership you don’t use?

If you haven’t done any strength work before it is advised that you do a Private session first to assess your readiness and ability level, particularly if you are rehabilitating or have a chronic complaint. The Private session also ensures you understand the reasons why you do a particular exercise and to get the correct form and technique.
