We’ve all been there before – you’re excited to try out a new gym with different fitness classes. You get to the facility, get changed and walk into a jam packed room with the regulars shmoozing each other and talking about how they’ve been. If you have a good instructor, they’ve introduced themselves before starting. Otherwise, the class starts at a high tempo, leaving you lost on whether you are doing any of the exercises correctly. On top of that, you feel like you can’t keep up with the instructor or other participants in the class. You get a good sweat on, but are left wondering if there is something more that you may have missed.
Believe it or not, we heard the exact same sentiment from our clients and the instructors. Here is what makes our Exclusive Group Training different than any other group fitness offering in Calgary.
1. Limited Class Sizes for better Instruction
2. no choreography to allow for Exercise Modifications
Believe it or not, the majority of the group fitness offerings you see at other gyms in Calgary are largely choreographed. This helps with consistency between group fitness classes and their instructors, but assumes that every body in the class moves the same. If an exercise is too challenging for the body, or the group fitness participant doesn’t execute the movement efficiently they will like end up injuring themselves down the road. Piggy backing on the limited class sizes for better instruction, our group training instructors provide exercise modifications unique to each individual to help prevent an injury from occurring.
3. Variety of class options for everybody & every body
- Blue Classes: This level of Exclusive Group Training are our lowest intensity classes. They are great for everyone, bringing you back to the fundamentals and helping you learn and improve the way you move.
- Yellow Classes: This level of group fitness classes are medium-low intensity and a good way to work on your strength and stamina. These group training offerings are great for those building onto the blue classes, or are looking to get back into shape.
- Orange Classes: These classes are for those looking for medium-high intensity group training and are suggested for those who have a strong foundation of physical activity in their lives.
