What happens in a yoga or Pilates class with Lisa?
Each class is 45 coached minutes. Your coach shows every exercise, and lower intensity options are always there. You take the rest you need. You are not trying to keep up with anyone else in the room.
Is a class with Lisa suitable for beginners or people with injuries?
Yes, every class at LIFT is set up for all fitness levels, including people who have never trained and people coming back after time off. Before your first class you fill in a short pre-exercise questionnaire, which a coach reviews. If something is sore, or your doctor or physio has told you to go easy, tell the coach then and again when you arrive. It is also worth checking with your doctor or physio first if you are returning after an injury or operation.
How does yoga or Pilates fit with the strength classes?
They sit side by side on the same timetable, and you choose what suits your week. General exercise knowledge suggests that mobility and controlled movement work can complement strength training for some people, but there is no requirement to do both. The classes page covers the Strength and Conditioning side.
The 28-Day Kickstarter is $149 and includes unlimited coached classes for 28 days. After that it continues as Unlimited at $65 a week unless you tell us before then. A 10 Class Pass is $230 ($23 a class), valid 12 months, and covers any gym, yoga or Pilates class. A single class is $25. There is no joining fee.
Can the kids come along?
LIFT has a fenced outdoor playground beside the gym, and you can see it from the training floor. Your children stay in your care the whole time. LIFT staff do not supervise them. The families page explains how it works.
How do I try a yoga or Pilates class for the first time?
Your first session is free, with no payment needed to book. It is a weekday class. Book online, fill in the questionnaire, then arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so your coach can ask about injuries, your goals and your starting point. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring a water bottle.
If you would like to talk it through first, you can book a free 15 minute call with Chris on the website. The yoga and Pilates page has the detail, and you can book your free first session from there. LIFT is at Unit 3/7 Finlay Place, Wangara, just off Wanneroo Road.
