Our classes centre around three simple principles; Build, Breathe & Move. By combining these three pillars in varying degrees, you can personalise your fitness schedule to best achieve your goals.
Build refers to getting stronger, Breathe refers to improving your cardio fitness and Move refers to increasing your mobility and flexibility. Any training programme will contain elements of one or a combination of these pillars, but by breaking these down and using them to form the basis of our classes, we allow our members to match their training programme with their goals.
Build Classes
Our Build classes are designed for those who want to build strength as part of their long term goal. Building strength doesn’t necessarily mean drastically increasing muscle mass, there are a number of benefits associated with strength training:
- Can help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis
- You’ll feel more powerful
- Helps reduce risk of injury by strengthening your joints, ligaments and tendons
- As with all exercise, weight-bearing exercise helps boost your metabolism
Classes at The Movement Barn that incorporate Build exercises include TRX, Kettlebells, Build, Pilates, Yoga and Build & Breathe.
Breathe Classes
If you’re not a fan of the treadmill or elliptical but want to improve your overall fitness then our conditioning classes are perfect for you. They combine a variety of aerobic exercises to help get your blood pumping, busting the myth that cardio has to be boring and repetitive. Here are some benefits of cardio or ‘metabolic conditioning’:
