Small Group - Monthly Gym Sessions followed by Flow Yoga and Yin Yoga Practice
(With option of booking Cold Plunge and Sauna after)
Guided Circuit Training in the Gym is a game changer mentally as well as physically. It will increase your metabolism, motivate you, transform your body shape, your confidence and fill you with happy endorphins. It’s also very important for bone health and to build muscle mass, especially as you get older.
A Yoga Practice, is the perfect compliment post training in the gym. Combining movement/stretching with breath, offers freedom and release for the body and mind, ultimately bringing you to a higher state of awareness as well as inner calm.
You will leave both of these sessions with a natural dopamine high, feeling both inspired and energised for the weekend
*After these two sessions, there is the option of a cold plunge, followed by a relaxing sauna, which has innumerable health benefits to every system of the body
Guided Circuits in the fully equipped Gym
At this 45 minute session, you can expect
Guided circuit training with cardio which is a form of full-body conditioning, Training to increase muscular endurance usually involves high reps using weights or body weight.
Flow & Yin Yoga in the fully equipped Studio
The yoga session is 60 mins.
After after a vigorous workout, yoga will encourage the body and mind to transition, as it aids recovery with deliberate relaxation of the body and mind. I will encourage you to regulate your breath so that your heart rate drops and your body can start to repair and rebuild.
After these sessions, there is an option to book cold plunge, followed by sauna at the same venue. For centuries, cold plunges and saunas have been utilized for health benefits. Cold plunges help burn fat, improve mood, and boost sleep by activating "cold-shock proteins" in the body which could preserve muscle mass, and reduce cognitive decline and inflammation. Saunas have been linked to heart health, lower cholesterol, reduced inflammation, and better immunity.

Inspiration
Two years ago, I personally discovered strength and circuit training, it has been a complete game changer in terms of my physical health and well-being.
Due to loss of oestrogen (caused from the menopause), and also being diagnosed with the onset of osteo-arthritis in some of my joints, I knew that it was paramount for me to increase my muscle mass and my bone density. Then by chance, I was introduced to Kaisa Larkas, who is a very motivational Personal Trainer.
Due to my consistant comittment to these sessions, and now my dedication to doing my own personal sessions 3 - 4 times a week, I have regained muscle mass which has raised my fitness levels immensely. These workouts have also altered and redistributed my body composition, I have more toned muscle definition, less fat and zero puffiness around my joints anymore. On top of that I have a much stronger body with stronger bones, and I am also so much more confident.
Who’d have thought that interval training would offer me a twist of metabolic magic in my midlife, I absolutely love these workouts, they will be part of my health regime for the rest of my life now, and I know that I will continue to see the benefits into my 60s, 70s and 80s.
