Classes and Services

Classes to Get You Started

These classes have a strong focus on technique and education on the basics and importance of functional exercise and injury prevention.

Functional exercise incorporates the movements you use on a daily basis including: bending,
twisting, squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, lifting etc.

Exercises are modified as necessary and we aim to balance assymetries and address weakness to improve overall strength, endurance and mobility.

These classes are suitable for those with general stiffness, pain or limited movement and we advise that you get a written medical clearance from your healthcare professional before starting our
programs or any exercise program.

Flexibility & Strength

Strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight muscles to achieve balance in your body.
These classes are suitable for all participants from those who need to reduce stiffness and pain to those who want to advance to more challenging exercises for recreational purposes or freedom of movement.

 

Functional Fitness (40+ age group)

The focus is on increasing mobility, strength, balance, flexibility and fitness for those wanting to begin, maintain or even develop a more active lifestyle.

The class aims to retrain weak muscles and improve function of daily activities such as lifting, squatting, pushing, pulling and twisting to make movement easier – a slightly more active class, for ages 40 and up.

 

Classes for Continuing and Intermediate Participants

These classes still have a focus on functional exercise and technique but aim to be more challenging and progression occurs more quickly.

You will need a basic understanding of how to exercise safely to prevent injury and know your limits.
Some thought and care need to be taken when choosing these classes if you have a current injury or condition which may limit your capacity to participate in more challenging exercise.
