All Golden Gymnastik classes are $10 throughout May!!!
THE CLASSES
POP GYMNASTIK
An exercise class for people who hate exercise, and a dance class for people who 'can't dance'. It's sweatier than a HIIT workout, but about 80 times more fun.
Named after the German Democratic Republic's take on the 80s aerobics phenomenon, which was less restrained than its American counterpart, the main focus on Pop Gymnastik is joyful (and at times chaotic) movement. Using a 'follow-the-leader' method, so you're never standing still, Jessie will take you through a 50 minutes aerobics 'class' working up to two BIG high intensity cardio peaks using (very simple) 80s dance moves. In between you'll get strengthening exercises that will make you laugh as much as they make your muscles burn. You'll smile and laugh so hard you won't even realise how much your sweating.
GOLDEN GYMNASTIK
LAUNCHING IN JULY, $10 TRIAL CLASSES ALL THROUGHOUT MAY!!
Pop Gymnastik’s low impact and moderate intensity cousin! Still an exercise class for people who hate exercise, and a dance class for people who 'can't dance' but this one won’t have you gasping for breath by the end (or the end of the warm-up).
In Golden Gymnastik we aim to lift the heart rate to about 50-70% of your max heart rate and keep it there for the duration of the class. In the first half of the class, we do our cardiovascular conditioning - 80s aerobics style. No burpees, no jumping, just (very) easy to follow routines to all the best tunes from the Golden era of music (60s, 70s and 80s). The second half of the class is about muscular strength and conditioning where you’ll feel the burn through your whole body with exercises you'll recognise from pilates, barre and functional training (the tunes will distract you from the burn, I promise).
This class was designed to finally get my mother to come to one of my classes. It is fantastic for older people, people with injuries, people getting back into exercise or just people who want to work out in a way that puts minimal stress on the joints.
POP PILATES
A total body workout where you'll move through all planes of motion and and leave feeling a whole lot better than you did 45 minutes before.
Pilates helps you build strength, endurance, flexibility and mobility, decreases back and joint pain, prevents injuries and acts as an amazing complement to running, weight training , HIIT (or aerobics!!). Designed to suit all levels of skill, fitness and flexibility, Pop Pilates can be as chill or challenging as you want to make it, with a range of progressions and modifications offered throughout the whole class. Balls, weights and sliders will help provide that bit of extra spice if you want it, and a bangin' soundtrack (disco, eurodance, 90s) will help you work that little bit harder than you think you can.
Don't make the mistake of thinking it's 'just stretching' - your core and butt'll be in for a big shock.
