STRONGER
Our strength based, integrated training class style that uses heavy weights and compound movement to create challenging, strength based workouts for those at an advanced level in their practice. Expect challenging, compound sequences of movement designed to build lasting strength, endurance and cardiovascular fitness. This class style blends the principles of traditional pilates with a contemporary approach to functional training in order to produce lasting results when practiced consistently over time. We recommend a minimum of 5kgs (11 lbs) for weights used during Stronger classes, however, as always, we encourage you to select your weight based off your individual strength and preference. Your individual strength will determine your maximum weight for this class style.
This class style is not suitable for beginners.
