What to expect
Led by Hektor – a knowledgeable and supportive exercise instructor and personal trainer – sessions last 45 minutes and focus on building strength, stamina, balance and flexibility.
Once everyone has arrived and said hello, sessions begin with a warm-up of light cardio and mobility drills, then move on to instruction and practice of a functional exercise (such as squats or crouches). You’ll then go through a segment of strength training exercises, followed by a short burst of cardio, finishing the session with a sequence of cool-down stretches and mobility drills.
Classes are suitable for adults of all levels of fitness and ability as movements and intensity levels can be modified to suit you.
