As you can see from the timetable we run a lot of weekly classes all of which are included in the membership unless otherwise stipulated (e.g special workshops / courses etc).

We try to keep the programme of classes fresh and up to date with trends, so we sometimes trial a pop up class or special event to gauge feedback.

Peak time classes are always popular so please use the online booking system to secure your place.

Booking for non-members who wish to join our zoom classes, payment of £4 per class will be required.

House iconWhich class is for you?

Our classes are designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. However here is a general guide as to what we offer and what to expect from different classes. To keep it simple we have broken the classes into 3 categories:

Mind body
Cardio
Strength

However in reality there is a cross over between classes as for example a Circuits class will also involve strength training!

 

Mind body

Dynamic Yoga Flow

As the name suggests, this class is fairly fast moving – you will leave feeling like you have exercised as it is physically challenging. It incorporates a variety of yoga postures and combines in some fitness work too. This is a class that is designed to develop strength, flexibility and endurance. We move from posture to posture using the breath and ease of movement to flow and sequence together complimentary movements that may at times challenge but will always be fun.

This class is most suitable for people who have some previous fitness or yoga experience – but there will always be options to make the class work for you.

Yin

A yoga class where postures are held for a longer period of time (normally 3 – 5 minutes)  to allow the body to settle into the pose with an emphasis on softening, patience and kindness to ourselves. A lovely simple form of yoga using props such as bolsters and blankets – to support and nurture us. It is slow, soft and relaxing, but at the same time can be challenging.

Yoga / Yoga flow

These classes incorporate Hatha yoga with flowing sequences designed to build strength, flexibility and endurance. You will learn many of the popular poses we see today and be shown techniques to start to develop your yoga practice. The classes will also normally include a relaxation period towards the end of the class to calm both the body and mind. Suitable for participants of all levels.

Friday Fiery Flow 7.30am

Without the intensive heat of hot yoga, these warm flow classes are perfect for the chilly mornings but also a great way to build up a sweat in the warmer months. A vinyasa-based practice incorporating popular postures sequenced to offer some challenges and a whole lot of fun. You will leave feeling ready to launch yourself into your perfect day.

Warm Restorative

A very gentle class in a warm but not hot studio, where the focus is on calming, gentle yoga postures to ease you into your day and leave you feeling gently stretched and perfectly relaxed.

Warm flow yoga

Using popular and accessible yoga postures and sequences to build strength and flexibility within a warm but not hot temperature.

Les Mills body combat

A challenging and fun workout of mixed martial arts choreographed to motivating music.

Strength

Les Mills Body Pump

A barbell workout for anyone who enjoys working with weights in a motivating environment. The instructor will take you through a series of choreographed workouts using light to moderate weights and high repetition. The end result is to burn calories and give you a total body workout.

Kettlebells

A kettlebell is a round weight with a flat bottom and a thick handle on top and we use it for exercises and weight training. It tones and helps build definition and strength. A challenging but fun class with motivating instructors.

Core

A class that focuses on just your core – so what does that mean? The core is generally referred to as the midsection / torso of the body and involves all your muscles in that area – and these all help stabilise your body.  This class works your core – using multiple exercises to really get results.

Functional Circuits

This challenging class uses lots of different equipment and changes from week to week, keeping your body and mind guessing! Expect powerful movements such as lunges, squats, presses and dynamic lifts.
