Questions, answered.

1 hour, 1-to-1, at our Chiswick studio. We talk about your goals, and you do 17 tests of strength, balance, joint mobility and stability, and cardio, each adapted to you. Then we go through your report together, and you leave with a clear plan. The goal of the assessment is to identify the weaknesses and conditions we need to adapt to in class, and to help you understand your body better.

A GP check looks at things like blood pressure and cholesterol. We look at what your body can do: how strong, steady and mobile you are, and your stamina. We don’t diagnose, and if something needs a doctor or a physio, we’ll tell you.

You train in a small group with specialist coaches, typically 8 to 10 members per class.

They’ll challenge you at your level, and just enough for your body to adapt and progress. Your coaches set your starting point from your assessment, adapt each exercise to you, and make it harder as you get stronger, at your own pace.

We’ll confirm the timetable before the classes start. If you prefer certain times of the day and week, please let us know and we’ll try to adapt our first timetable to our members.
