THE CLASSES

POP GYMNASTIK - High Impact

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 - High Impact 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.

POP GYMNASTIK - Low Impact

Low Impact, but not low intensity. In this class you'll get an aerobics and barre/ pilates class in one!

Pop Gymnastik - Low Impact is designed for people who want to work out in a way that puts minimal stress on the joints. That means no jumping, but certainly not no challenge!

It's programmed just like an old school Jane Fonda workout video. We start with the cardio component, where you can work at a lower intensity, or kick higher and step bigger and amp up the intensity to a level you like. Then, for the second half we move to the barre and mat. You won't see any squats or lunges though - it's all ballet and pilates style conditioning. You’ll be given lots of options to really amp up the burn and muscles shakes, or modify exercises to find a good challenge point for you!

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.

** Currently Pop Pilates runs as a wellness programme for workplaces. Email info@popgymnastik.com.au for more information

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.

AQUA GYMNASTIK

It's everything you love about Pop Gymnastik BUT IN THE POOL!!

In Summer 2026 Pop Gymnastik is making a splash at Coburg Olympic Pool! Forget every preconception you’ve had about aqua-aerobics - this is no walk in the park, it’s a moonwalk through the water that’ll get your heart pumping, muscles burning and whole body jumping for joy. Pop Gymnastik brings 80s aerobics into the modern day and now it’s bringing it into the modern day pool! Low impact (but not low intensity), this aqua aerobics class engages your entire body while you high kick, rock & roll and twist and jump to the best tunes of the 1980s. You’ll feel like you’re at a summer pool party, all while you get a most totally excellent strength and cardio workout to start your weekend.

Aqua Gymnastik classes are FREE and will take place on January 17th, February 14th and March 14th. See 'Book a Class' page for more details.

Introduction to Strength Training - A Six Week Course

It's personal training, but with a bigger cheer squad! Six one-hour weekly sessions, maximum 8 people in the class, learn how to lift HEAVY.

Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your body, and for your mind and all the evidence points to weightlifting (low repetitions, heavy weight) being one of the best ways to train for strength. In this six week course you will learn how to do the main lifts (deadlifts, squats, bench presses), accessory work, use free weights (barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells), structure a training session and how to use progressive overload to get stronger over time. It's designed to help you feel more comfortable going into faster-paced group strength classes with higher numbers of participants , but it's also designed to set you on your way training by yourself in the gym and feeling confident doing it!

In Week 4 you will receive a 12 week programme (downloadable on a very easy to use phone app). It will include 3 x 30-40 min sessions per week that you can do in the gym. With this programme you'll be able to time rest breaks, see videos of all the exercises, find modifications for exercises that don't work for you, and log the weight your lifting each session. I can guarantee that in twelve weeks you will see A LOT of progress!
