NEW Metabolic Effect

Metabolic Effect training is a new concept to most people, but with proven effectiveness it may be set to be the exercise of the future!

The training system was designed in the United States by two biochemists, who also happened to be qualified personal trainers. They combined the latest research in endocrinology with a focus on changing the fat burning hormone response to diet and exercise. Research has shown that after the metabolic effect exercise class, fat burning can continue for hours, sometimes days. By changing hormonal responses to fat burning rather than simply eating less or exercising more, the body naturally regulates fat burning, appetite, and mood. Motivation for exercise is enhanced while cravings for food are reduced!

In this class you will be encouraged to reach your physical maximum. You will have to force yourself to rest, rest completely, and then do it again!

The classes are an intense 30 minute workout of hybrid exercises designed to challenge the whole body and burn fat. An alternative approach to counting calories to achieve weight loss! The outcome of all exercise is not alike and metabolic effect exercise is designed to alter your hormonal response to fat burning.

This cutting edge exercise class is truly a fantastic opportunity to see for yourself the life changing effects of metabolic effect training. If your hectic lifestyle leaves you with only time for one activity, this is the one it should be!

Classes

Times: Friday 6.30pm, 7.10pm & 7.50pm

Free taster sessions on Friday 11th, 18th & 25th May.

Baby Massage & Baby Yoga

I'm very excited to be offering baby massage and baby yoga classes. They can offer mums an oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of every day life to "just be" with their little ones.

Everything is provided, including mats, towels and cushions.

I'll teach you techniques to settle and soothe your baby. Sessions include discussions on a variety of parenting topics such as feeding and weaning, sleep and crying. We are passionate about empowering mums (and dads too!) through our classes with the skills to massage baby throughout infancy and into childhood.
