Group exercise classes feature a variety of exercise options. Try out several different Our team of professional instructors ensures members get a good workout classes until you discover the one which most suits your interest and current fitness goals:
The Fitball
FitballThe Fitball is a large air-filled ball. It is used to increase the effectiveness of our normal exercises. The challenge comes from its instability the deep abdominal muscles must work continuously harder just to maintain balance.

Exercises that are normally performed on a mat and can be transferred to a Fitball for a better ab workout include press-ups, abdominal curls and back extensions.

Fitball Gives a more challenging and effective workout and you will see the results much faster. Doing an abdominal curl on a stable surface (mat) will never challenge the abdominals or surrounding muscle as much as doing it on an unstable surface such as the Fitball. Using a Fitball forces your core stability muscles, including the abdominals, to work from the second that you lie on the ball - even before the exercise begins! You will feel the effects on the abdominals after very few repetitions.

Improves flexibility and posture. Regular abdominal and lower back exercises on a Fitball will improve body tone. You will also enjoy reduced incidence of back pain as the stabilising muscles of the back will get stronger and be better able to support the spine.

Improved balance, skill and agility and reduced risk of injury due to stronger core stability muscles.
Triple 'S'
Triple 'S' refers to: SWEAT, STRENGTH and STRETCH, with equal attention devoted to each component. Start the class with low impact aerobics, followed by weight training for all major muscle groups, and finish with a total stretch to ease tension and tightness. This class is well worth adding to your fitness routine.
Power Stretch
An energizing stretch class that incorporates modified yoga postures. The focus is on flexibility, breathing, alignment, posture, and relaxation. Take time to lengthen and stretch - an often neglected component of fitness!
Pilates
Pilates is a form of exercise, developed which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement.

Pilates is one of the most popular exercise systems in the country.

Pilates works so well for a wide range of people. Athletes and dancers love it, as do seniors, women rebounding from pregnancy, and people who at various stages of physical rehabilitation.

Core strength is the foundation of Pilates exercise. The core muscles are the deep, internal muscles of the abdomen and back. When the core muscles are strong and doing their job, as they are trained to do in Pilates, they work in tandem with the more superficial muscles of the trunk to support the spine and movement.

As you develop your core strength you develop stability throughout your entire torso. This is one of the keys to how Pilates helps people overcome back pain. As the trunk is properly stabilized, pressure on the back is relieved and the body is able to move freely and efficiently.
Yoga
Yoga has simple and effective body movements that strengthen one's back, firm the stomach, and redistribute body weight. Yoga exercises stretch and tone the body muscles. They increase endurance and improve flexibility.

Yoga is the best among all exercises for toning muscles, lubricating joints and massaging the body. Yoga postures bring physical as well as mental stability, health and vigor. Yoga developed thousands of years ago and have evolved over centuries. They work wonders in keeping the body healthy and the mind peaceful. Asanas or positions exercise the nerves, glands, ligaments, and muscles. In other words, yoga exercises are the most comprehensive method of self care.
