Hi there!

Thank you so much for your interest in joining us with our workouts.

Most of our clients are just like you, at first they are apprehensive and worried that they cannot cope of keep up with the intensities and exercises that we do. Rest assured that as long as your physician allows you to exercise, you'll be alright :)

Why?

1) Everybody works at their own intensities - this is measured by using 'RPE' - individual rate of perceived exertion - 0 being the easiest and 10 being the toughest intensity. For beginners, you'll do the exercises at 5/10.

2) You are encouraged to rest and sit out the exercises for the first session - that means, you won't do anything that is beyond your abilities

3) There's variation for EVERY exercise that we do - for example, for those in intermediate levels, they would do walking lunges, but for beginners, you'll do half range stationary lunges.

4) There ratio of trainer to client is small - you'll have a lot of attention from the trainers that check the form and safety of your exercise movement.

5) Going to the gym is great! We encourage our clients to go to the gym at least once a week - to build strength and power. It should supplement our fat burn cardio and body weight workouts during bootcamps. I suggest that you get a personal trainer so that both your gym workouts and bootcamp training will be streamlined and in sync. Do let me know if we can help.

6) According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is recommended that we workout (Combination of gym and cardio training) 5 days a week. However, if you're just starting out, twice or thrice a week is great!

7) If you need to speak to one of our expat clients (beginner levels) for testimonial/s, I can try to get them to get in touch with you.

Hope that helps :)

I suggest that you join us for a No Risk Trial this weekend at either East Coast or Botanic Gardens - after the workout, we can then talk about your fitness goals further. We can explore about personal training too, if that is up your alley.

Do let me know what you think ya?

HI I called last Sunday and have signed up, pending your confirmation. Would like to find out more about your Sunday programme and how would you cater to people of various fitness levels and how do you incorporate various training methods since we are in a public area (example, if we have weight training sometimes ?)
Is there any difference between an all ladies session (as at East Coast) and a mixed session ? Also, do we need mats ?
