STRENGTH CLASSES
Build Strength That Carries Over To Life.
Our Strength classes combine structured programming with hands-on coaching in small groups of no more than 8 people.
Sessions develop strength, mobility and movement quality using exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, carries and other functional movements.
Your coach will help with technique, selecting appropriate weights and adjusting exercises to suit your experience and ability.
You don't need to be experienced or already strong to start.
Our programming is designed to challenge experienced lifters while remaining approachable for beginners.

ERG-CONDITIONING CLASSES
Build Your Engine Without Beating Up Your Body.
Our Erg Conditioning classes focus on improving cardiovascular fitness through low-impact aerobic training.
Sessions use equipment such as RowErgs, BikeErgs, SkiErgs, AirBikes and our S-Drive treadmills, with workouts programmed to develop endurance, work capacity and overall fitness.
Rather than relying on high-impact exercises and endless jumping, you can work hard while keeping unnecessary stress on your joints to a minimum.
Every session can be scaled to your current fitness level, whether you're building your aerobic base or looking for a serious conditioning workout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your classes suitable for beginners?
Absolutely.
Many of our members begin with little or no gym experience.
Every exercise can be modified to suit your current ability, mobility and confidence. Our coaches focus on teaching proper technique first so you can build strength safely and progress over time
How many people are in each class?
Each class is capped at 8 individuals.
Our classes are intentionally kept small.
This allows our coaches to provide individual technique correction, answer questions, adjust exercises where required, and ensure everyone trains safely.
You're never just another number in the room.
Do I need to be fit before joining?
No.
Our classes are designed to help you become fitter, not to test whether you're already fit.
Whether you're returning after years away from exercise or you've been training consistently, the program can be adapted to suit your current level.
What is the difference between your Strength Classes and Erg-Conditioning Classes?
Our Strength Classes focus on building strength, improving movement quality and developing muscle through structured resistance training.
Our Erg-Conditioning Classes develop cardiovascular fitness using low-impact equipment including the Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg, BikeErg, air bikes and our self-powered S-Drive treadmill.
Together, they provide a balanced approach to long-term fitness.
Will I be lifting heavy weights?
Only when you're ready.
Everyone begins by learning movement quality first.
As your technique improves, you'll gradually increase the load using progressive overload, the safest and most effective way to become stronger.
Are your classes different every day?
Our sessions are varied, but they're not random.
Unlike many group fitness classes, our programming follows structured training blocks where exercises progress over several weeks.
This allows you to improve your strength, technique and fitness while giving you measurable progress.
Do you provide personal coaching during classes?
Yes.
Every class is fully coach-led.
Our coaches demonstrate each exercise, provide technical feedback throughout the session and make adjustments based on your ability or any injuries you may have.
How long are the classes?
Our classes run for approximately 40 minutes.
Each session includes a guided warm-up, structured training and a cool-down, making them ideal for busy professionals wanting an efficient workout before work, during lunch or after work.

In most cases, yes.

Our coaches can modify exercises where appropriate and help you train around limitations while continuing to make progress.
If you're currently under the care of a health professional, we're happy to work alongside their recommendations.
How often should I attend classes?
For most members, we recommend attending two to five classes each week.
This provides enough training frequency to build strength and improve fitness while allowing adequate recovery.
Your coach can help you decide what schedule best suits your goals.
Will I lose weight by attending the classes?
Our classes are designed to improve strength, fitness and overall health.
Many members do lose body fat as they become more active, but lasting weight loss is best achieved by combining regular training with good nutrition and lifestyle habits.
If fat loss is your goal, our coaches can help you create a complete plan.
What should I bring to class?
Simply bring:
-
Comfortable training clothes
-
Enclosed training shoes
-
A water bottle

A towel
