Group Classes

CARDIO CLASSES

Bootcamp:

A firm favourite with exercise enthusiasts of all levels, there are beginners and advanced bootcamp classes where you get to work every single muscle in your body while having a whole lot of fun. Bootcamp encompasses military style, interval training that usually works on a rotation method. The short bursts of exercises will have you begging for mercy but will leave you feeling totally energised.

Step:

A step routine choreographed to music that will keep even the fittest fitness fanatics on their toes. The class combines basic stepping and aerobics together with fitness exercises to ensure that you get a full body workout.

Spinning:

A class that takes you on an indoor cycle ride on stationary spinning bikes, while being motivated by your spinning instructor. Your trainer will simulate cycling on flat roads then coax you up hills and down valleys after which you get to sprint and race. This is undoubtedly the queen of all cardiovascular classes and best of all is you get to do it regardless of the weather.
