BOOM! Christmas is over and summer is approaching fast!

We are introducing a fat blasting class every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30am and 7:30pm.

It is a 45 minute blast class in which we will get bodies moving, heart rates going and calories burning FAST to shed those extra lbs that no one wants. Fully supervised sessions with 10-12 stations around the gym and specific exercises to hit that core element and drive that fat away.

No olympic lifting, gymnastic or CrossFit style movements are used this is pure intensity at it's best.

£4 per class
