Mummycise - pregnancy exercise class
An exercise class specifically designed for pregnant women of all abilities and previous fitness levels.
This class focuses on low back and pelvic strength as well as upper back and neck mobility and posture. It uses small weights, resistance bands, fit balls and mats.
During pregnancy your body changes so much week to week, so we work with you to help coordinate the different way your core muscles, your legs, glutes, and your back have to move to accomodate these rapid changes.
Commit to be fit during pregnancy and reap the rewards!
StrongFit - Learn how to lift weights safely
Strength training has many benefits, including injury prevention, pain management/prevention and bone density maintenance.
Resistance training is beneficial for everyone, yet so many avoid the gym because they don't know how to where or how to start, or they feel intimidated in typical gym environments.
StrongFit is an 8-week progressive strength-based program, designed to teach you how to lift weights safely and effectively so you can begin to reap the benefits of regular resistance training.
Clinical Rehab - Pilates informed exercise
Clinical Rehab classes are small group exercise classes primarily using Pilates equipment where every participant has an individualised program.
Clinical Rehab is a great form of exercise for everyone. In particular it can help build core strength and control to allow for easier movement and better posture.
These high focus classes involve the use of specialised pilates equipment including the reformer, trapeze table, and multi chair.
Your physiotherapist may also add exercises with the BOSU, fitball, mats and band to your equipment program
RunFit - Not just for the recreational runner!
Running is a fabulous form of exercise. It improves cardiovascular health, lower limb strength and mental health. Unfortunately, as an activity that relies on repetitive impact, it is often associated with injuries.
Many of these injuries can be prevented with targeted exercise and knowledge about training principles.
RunFit is an 8-week course run through the school term.
It includes a progressive strength-based program, once a week, with associated home exercises to improve the general capacity for the recreational runner.

The TeenFit program runs for 8 weeks during the school term and is progressive - meaning that each week's exercises builds on the previous week (this of course can be individualised as appropriate).
