Types Of Classes
Circuit Training
A varied cocktail of exercises working on strength, stamina,
suppleness, speed and co-ordination and balance. Through
all my classes now there will be emphasis on postural awareness
and core stability, as I believe these are key aspects
of all-round fitness. Sessions at the Fitness Centre make
use of the variety of CV machines andI use an assortment
of equipment, including stability balls, BOSUs and Reebok
core boards. The essential feature
of circuit training is that everyone really does work at
their own pace and level... with no shortage of fun along
the way!
Posture Plus
This addresses the needs of people who feel unable to
cope with a mainstream gym class, and who may be physically
less able. The pace is gentle; individual needs are built
in to the class format... and the benefits class members
feel as a result are great. I have a wheelchair-users'
exercise bike, as well as a comfortable back-supporting
recumbent bike, and there is good wheelchair access to
the gym.
Senior Active
Here, we are following a circuit format, but again, the
pace is gentle to be appropriate to the needs of the class;
having said that, one long-standing member of this class
recently ran her first half marathon!
Pilates Starter Class
This class was born out of the desire of circuit training
class members to focus more closely on the postural benefits
of Pilates. As the name implies it as an introductory level,
and the only class for which I would ask you to phone me
first, so that I can best accommodate your needs or current
experience into the group. If you have done Pilates before,
I will suggest you join one of the regular Pilates classes,
so please call first.
Sports Massage and Exercise Therapy
These two really go together as I find myself more and
more using a combination of both, rather than stand-alone
massage. I am very happy to do routine or remedial massage,
and pre- and post- event work, and if you like to lie on
the couch and drift off that's fine. However, chances are
you can do a lot to help yourself in between sessions,
with suitable stretching and exercises, to which I will
introduce you.
If necessary I have my fellow practitioners at the Syston
and Leicester Sports Injuries Clinics for cross referencing.
If you are recovering from injury and looking for relevant
and effective rehabilitation programmes, again, I can help
with whatever combination of soft tissue work and exercise.
