Technogym supply all the resistance equipment with their award winning range guaranteed to work every muscle group in your body safely and effectively.
Great Variety Of Resistance Kit
Our award winning range of equipment from Technogym & StarTrac allows you to work each muscle or muscle group both independently and specifically to maximise your power concentration. Our wide range of equipment also includes free weight benches, pressing benches and cable assisted equipment not available to most gyms.
The impressive dumbbell range from 2K-50K allows rehabilitation practice and correction to movement patterns through to maximum lifting of major muscle groups.
To avoid the stresses often related to working-out in too close a proximity to others, the gym provides a free weights area, resistance training area, functional zone, and stretching area entirely separate to each other.
Fully Equipped Boxing
Our team of Instructors encourage members to take up Cardio boxing training classes and the innovative variations of the sparring jabs, power punches, defence, to incorporate a blend of aerobics exercises. You will learn the proper execution of the punch and kick combinations for a more intensive workout that can help you become stronger and more confident.
Moreover, these boxing training classes improve your speed, resistance, and strength. Flexibility and the reflexes of the muscles are also enhanced. Repetitive motion of the arms by sparring and jogging while you punch helps your arms and legs gain strength and power. These workouts also enable your joint movements to build very efficient fitness results. These movements require you to develop balance and coordination that enables your body to be stable and maintain good form.
