Resistance training
In the resistance training classes you can start with your own bodyweight and build up to heavier weights. Your ideal weight is determined by your strength – you want to feel like your last two reps are hard, you want them over with! It shouldn’t feel terrible but it shouldn’t feel easy either!
On-demand classes
On-demand classes mean that you can choose the perfect class to suit your current level of fitness. You can choose from our extensive workout library: filter by length, type of workout, equipment needed, instructor. and more.
How do I use the on-demand classes?
Choose a class from our extensive workout library: filter by time length, type of workout, equipment needed or instructor.
What equipment do I need?
For all classes you can start with your own body weight and build up to heavier equipment/weights.
For resistance training:
If you have some experience, we suggest that you start with 3kg and 5kg weights and build up as you become stronger. Your ideal weight is determined by your strength – you want to feel like your last two reps are hard, you want them over with! It shouldn’t feel terrible, but it shouldn’t feel easy either!
