With specific class times getting popular and in high demand, we need to reiterate the importance of cancelling your spot before an hour of the class starting. This will allow for members on waiting lists to jump in to the class and be ready to go.
Our 6am strength time slots specifically are becoming more popular now that everyone is getting back to work, please only book into these sessions if you are very confident you are going to be attending. We understand at some stage everyone will have to cancel for specific reasons (sickness, fatigue, family, work, etc) but please cancel your booking as early as possible to allow those that are 100% available to attend.
Those who are on waiting lists, please ensure you look at your emails to secure your spot when someone does cancel.

Strength Session Details
FOCUS THIS WEEK IS ECCENTRIC LOADING:
The focus is on very slow and control movement patterns, particularly on the stretching out of the muscle.
You should feel the stretch in muscle. We encourage/emphasise the slowness of that phase of the exercise (for example- straight leg deadlift- very slow on the lowering down- feel the stretch through their hamstrings)
Eccentric exercises are a fantastic way to get stronger faster!
Members can use moderate to heavy weight
As it is a slow movement, ensure you maintain great trunk control and technique throughout
Members may feel sore after these sessions which is very normal due to the type of training it is.
STRENGTH CLASS GENERAL REMINDERS
