How we coach you

Coached, at your own pace

  • A coach watches every set

    Chris or Lisa is on the floor the whole class. We watch your technique and help you fix it as you go.

  • We set your weights

    We help you pick a weight that suits you today. We tell you when it’s time to go up, and when to stay put.

  • Easier options, always

    Every exercise has an easier version. Rest when you need to. Nobody is waiting on you to finish.

  • We ask before you start

    You fill in a short pre-exercise questionnaire before your first class, and a coach reviews it.

Seeing the change

Track what’s changing

Our InBody 570 scanner estimates your muscle and body fat. The 28 Day Kickstarter includes two scans: one at the start and one in your last week. You can track your goals and progress in the Lift app too.

An InBody scan is an estimate, not a medical test, so we look at the trend across your scans.

Pick a weekday class. We’ll show you around, set up your weights and coach you through it.

Questions about starting later

Am I too old to start?
We coach adults of all ages and fitness levels. You start where you are today, not where someone else is. Your coach sets each exercise to suit you. If you have a health condition, ask your doctor or physio whether this kind of training suits you, and tell us on your pre-exercise questionnaire.
I’ve never lifted. Where do I start?
With a free first session. Your coach shows you each exercise, sets up your weights and watches your technique. You start light and learn the movements first. What to expect
What about my knees or my back?
Tell us on the pre-exercise questionnaire and again when you arrive. A coach reviews your answers before your first class. In class we swap any exercise that doesn’t suit you for one that does. If something hurts, stop and tell your coach. We’re coaches, not physios, so we can’t diagnose or treat an injury. If your doctor or physio has told you to go easy, tell us and we’ll work within that.
Do I need to get fit before I come?
No. The class is set to your level from the first session. Take as much rest as you need.
How will I know it’s working?
Our InBody 570 scans estimate your muscle and body fat. The 28 Day Kickstarter includes two: one at the start and one in your last week. A scan is an estimate, not a medical test, so we look at the trend across your scans.
