Getting fit with Power
Power will help increase your strength and muscular endurance levels of fitness. You will experience a bit of tightness and may be a little sore after your first class. This is your muscles recovering and becoming stronger! As you make more of a routine coming to classes, you will begin to think it’s ‘easy’.

A warm up consisting of all your major muscles groups will get the class started. This is followed by 3 blocks of exercise working the whole body. Each block of exercise is made up of a combination of muscles groups and repeated three times, giving you the chance to add on more weight! Then abdominal conditioning, a cool down and much deserved stretch finish the class off. There are 4 possible Power formats – Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. Each have their own challenges and this keeps things interesting and muscles constantly developing.
