Course Overview

Course Overview
This course focus on developing greater muscular strength, improved stamina for everyday tasks, increased mobility, and stronger core support. Learners are encouraged to repeat exercises, sustain activity for longer, and link movements together more smoothly.
Emphasis is placed on supporting independent activity, including understanding how class exercises relate to common fitness training and everyday fitness activities. Learners are guided in how to progress safely, recognise appropriate challenge, and build confidence to continue exercising independently in a gym or community setting.
The mixed‑level structure allows beginners to build fitness safely, while returning learners continue to progress through increased repetitions, longer activity periods, or slightly more demanding variations.

In general, we will not allow late enrolment to any course after the first two weeks.

Children are not allowed in our health & fitness courses unless they are specifically family learning classes. Please do not ask your tutor to give your child access as they do not have the authority to do this.

Health and Safety requirements demand that all learners participating in fitness classes must complete the warm up. Therefore, latecomers that miss the warm up will be refused entry to the session.
