The training
Every class is a full body workout. A few focus exercises come back every class for about 6 to 8 weeks, with other exercises around them.
Movements you use every day
Your body works in a few basic movement patterns: you squat, you hinge, you push and you pull. Getting out of a chair is a squat. Picking up a child or a box is a hinge. Lifting a suitcase into the overhead bin is a push. Opening a heavy door is a pull.
Each pattern gets one focus exercise. Getting stronger at it carries over to the everyday movements in the same pattern. That's why we mostly train with free weights like kettlebells, dumbbells and barbells. You control the weight yourself, just like in daily life, so you train your balance and the small stabilising muscles too. A machine does that part for you.
Because the focus exercises come back every class, you get the technique right and you get stronger week by week. If you come twice a week, you do all of them every week. I track your progress on each one, so you know exactly what to aim for next week. Once a week works too, progress is just slower.
Same class, adjusted to your body
Everyone does the same workout, but the movement screen tells me what each person needs. For example:
Stiff ankles
A few extra ankle exercises in your warm up before we squat, and your heels slightly raised until the range is there.
Shoulders that don't move well overhead
Extra shoulder warm up exercises before we push, and a pressing variation that fits your shoulders for now.
