​Aerial HoopAerial Hoop is a fun way for women to exercise and develop improved strength, flexibility, muscle tone and fitness, which leads to improved self-confidence and well-being. Aerial Hoop is a circular steel apparatus rigged from the ceiling, which will give anyone participating the opportunity to experience spins, swings and tricks with the hoop acting as a frame for a variety of balances, transitions and routines. With the protection of professional crash mats, the hoops hang just under 5’ above the floor, so you will feel completely safe at all times in the hands of our qualified Aerial Hoop coach. No previous experience is necessary and is available to all ages and abilities from 18 years upwards with a maximum of two people per hoop. Comfortable sports attire to be worn. Taster sessions are available.“I've doing hoop for almost one year now. I love how it has the right combination of strength, cardio and flexibility. I always feel like I'm stronger after every class no matter how long you've been going. I would thoroughly recommend aerial hoop to anyone who is looking to get stronger and fitter without going to the gym.”JessicaModified Pilates for Lower Back PainPilates aims to improve strength and flexibility in all areas of the spine. Modified Pilates, instructed by our resident senior Chartered physiotherapist Luke Hedley, focuses on core stability and improving spinal function using modified exercises that are safe and effective for people with chronic back and neck pain or those looking to rehabilitate themselves following back surgery. This class is also ideal for anyone interested in taking a fun, challenging and safe Pilates class.There’s a maximum of 12 per class with mats, pillows and small equipment provided.  Participants supply their own towel."When you are told by the professionals what you can do to make sciatica and back pain better (Pilates, swimming etc.) and you just keep carrying on, doing nothing, there comes a point when you think, maybe they are right!! So, I found Luke's class - it fits right in with my work hours, in a great location and a well-equipped class with really soothing, relaxing music too! I feel so much better and it really does help with the back niggles. It's also a great way to switch off and thoroughly unwind after busy London life. I highly recommend Luke's class – it has certainly made a big difference to me.”HarrietPersonal TrainingIf you’re serious about getting fitter and want to achieve the best results using tried and tested methods, then personal training with Kristian McPhee is the answer.Being a certified fitness instructor and British Weightlifting Champion, Tutor and Level 2 coach there’s not much Kristian doesn’t know about strength and fitness and how to motivate and get the best out of his students in a safe yet challenging environment.Kristian works with men and women of all ages and abilities with sessions tailored to meet each individual’s goals be they improved muscle tone, better cardiovascular fitness or improved posture, strength and flexibility.“Kristian has been a motivational and knowledgeable trainer to work with over the last few months.  The sessions have been tough but very rewarding and are never the same. I’ve really noticed a difference in my fitness, and energy levels since I've started personal training and my strength is really coming on too! I couldn’t recommend Kristian highly enough!”LauraPilatesPilates is a series of non-impact exercises to develop strength, flexibility, balance and inner   awareness.  It focuses on a breathing pattern to enhance the exercises and can help to restore your body’s alignment with specific exercises. Pilates targets the balanced development of deep and superficial muscles that stabilise, align and move the trunk of the body especially the abdominals and muscles of the back.  It can be done by anyone – any age or any fitness level, male or female.“I attend Lorraine's Pilates class on Monday evenings, every week, without fail. I unfortunately prolapsed 2 discs in 2012 and couldn't walk for 5 months. After 18 months under my brilliant Osteopath (who saved me from having a triple spinal fuse operation), I was well enough to start Pilates. Lorraine carefully tailored the movements/exercises suitable for my delicate and fragile condition with great skill.  My improvement in strength, motion and pain cannot be understated, all because of Lorraine. She really has given me my life back! Lorraine's classes are very professional, informative and fun (I consider myself a life member). She is also one of the warmest, nicest people on the planet as well as one of the best instructors.”MarkPole Exercise Dance & FitnessPole Exercise Dance & Fitness is a fantastic way for women to exercise, to get into shape and build self-confidence.

The focus is on softening as well as strengthening the body to help support the growing baby and provide a firm foundation as you transition through each phase of pregnancy.Practising breathing techniques encourages calmness mindfully and physically and promotes an internal connection with baby as well as greater sense of well-being. Meditation and relaxation allows both mother and baby to completely "let go" and have time out just to focus on yourself.No previous experience of yoga is necessary and mothers-to-be can start when they are safely into the second trimester and practice right up until their due date. Yoga contributes to a happy, healthy pregnancy for both mother and baby.“I did pregnancy yoga with Amanda till a week before my second baby was born. My practice helped me feel much stronger through this pregnancy compared to my first, yoga-less pregnancy. The pregnancy yoga exercises helped me tremendously to stay in control through my first stages of labour and my little one was out in 20 minutes once I was ready."SandraTenacious Training (not for the weak)For groups of up to six, Kristian McPhee’s Tenacious Training sessions are for men and women who want to be fit, healthy and strong.  Activities include functional training, bodyweight and weighted movements, circuit training, flexibility and strength training. A range of equipment is used including gymnastic rings, pull up bars, resistance bands, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls and your own body! You don’t have to be physically strong to join this class, but having strength of mind is a definite plus as everyone likes to encourage one another to push themselves to achieve the best results.“I have been having training sessions with Kristian on a weekly basis for over 3 years now and cannot speak highly enough of him.   When I started I had no strength and could barely do a press up. Kristian is extremely knowledgeable and makes every session fun and varied while at the same time helping me to push myself to achieve whether it be lifting that bit more or doing those extra repetitions. His training has improved my strength all over, suppleness, posture, and muscle tone.  As an office worker, he has made me more aware of the need to keep my body in better shape and how to do this. I can now squat my own body weight plus a whole range of other moves I didn't know existed! I would be lost without Kristian’s help and never want to miss a class.”SineadUrban Jazz FusionIf you love dancing, music and dance exercises then this class is for you!  Urban Jazz Fusion is an exciting dance class that explodes in to a fusion of styles and takes you out of this world away from every day chores or stresses from work!  Dancing is a wonderful therapy for not only the body but the mind and soul as well, loosening, strengthening and toning the muscles throughout.This class will make you feel invigorated, allowing the chore of exercising to be a thing of the past.  It’s hard work – you’ll use muscles you didn’t know you had, but it’s also great fun and a brilliant laugh!  All ages and abilities welcome.  Trial sessions are available.“I thoroughly look forward to Thursday evenings at JAM2000.

Amanda's classes are fun, energetic and invigorating, as well as calming and relaxing. Amanda is sensitive to our individual needs and encourages us to follow the pace of our own special bodies. We feel challenged without feeling pressurised. Classes always extend previous learning, and I love the new added twists to our regular postures every now and then! Amanda's enthusiasm is contagious! My personal favourite part of our classes is the beautiful philosophical touch (through poems, quotes and yoga literature) that make Amanda's classes more than just about postures. I happened to start Yoga with Amanda at a time when I felt very low, and I can say for sure that week after week, my practice with her has helped feel more at one with myself!"Susan
