Our timetable has been co-created to meet the interests of our members and get the best from our coaches. We regularly review it to ensure we have the right mix of location, format, timing and content for our members.
Every class combines individually-tailored movements with a body-neutral ethos so you can enjoy the benefits of exercise without the negative aspects of mainstream fitness culture.
Our indoor classes are at St. Anne’s House – foam.fall.sheets on What3Words. Please read through our current COVID-19 policy before booking.
The running club meets by the tennis courts at Eastville Park – engine.flying.librarian on What3Words.
We also have a library of online classes – see the On-Demand section of your membership.
Strength Circuit
Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays 18:00-19:00
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB
Our most popular class!
All the benefits of resistance training without any of the crappy culture that’s become attached to it – just effective strength training with barbells and/or bodyweight.
Learn safe, efficient exercises that develop strength and mobility through moving against resistance. We will go round a circuit of movements carefully selected by our coaches to suit the needs of our members. Multiple options are given so you can choose an intensity that suits what you’re feeling that day.
All-Round Weightlifting
Mondays & Thursdays 19:15-20:15
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB
Experience the joy of lifting heavy things.
Develop strength through learning classic weightlifting exercises, drawing from powerlifting (squat, bench and deadlift), olympic weightlifting (snatch, clean and jerk) and the “forgotten” lifts of the 19th century strongmen and strongwomen (bent press, pullover, getup etc.).
The British Amateur Weightlifting Association used to recognise 150 competition lifts and now only adjudicates for three. All-Round Weightlifting aims to rescue the joy of lifting from that “sportification”, giving us more opportunities for play and experimentation so we can find the lifts that feel best for our bodies while building real strength and mobility.
No experience is necessary! We will begin by lifting broomsticks and work up from there
Punk Aerobics
Tuesdays 19:15-20:15
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB
Join Charlie Bones for a 50 minute, medium-intensity cardio workout to a punk and ska playlist.
Starting with a fun warm up the class develops into a simple aerobics session with low-impact options available. The class includes a core section focusing on a different muscle group each week using simple effective strengthening exercises, and a stretch and cool down to finish.
No equipment is needed but please bring a yoga mat or equivalent for stretching!
Stretch and Strengthen
Tuesdays 19:15-20:15
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB (Red Room)
Flexibility training allows us to access new ranges of motion and restore lost movement, but doing this without strength and control can cause injury.
In this class Isidora will lead us through movements aimed at restoring mobility and building strength, all of which can be adapted to your current flexibility.
Functional HIIT
Wednesdays 19:00-19:45
Thursdays 19:15-20:00
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB
Develop your fitness through short bursts of activity mixed with periods of rest.
A range of movement options are always given, so you can get an effective workout regardless of your current fitness and familiarity with the exercises!
Strong and Steady
Wednesdays 18:00-19:00
St. Anne’s House, BS4 4AB
This is a full-body strength training class with some circuits incorporated where you can choose weights that feel right for you and your body.
The pace is a little faster than our Strength Circuit, so you can build some fitness while training strength-endurance.
Running Club
Fridays 07:00-08:00
Eastville Park, BS5 6XA
Start your Friday with an invigorating, social run at your own pace through Eastville Park with our friendly crew of runners of mixed abilities.
Sessions are led by Zoe Banks Gross, who will incorporate a bit of bodyweight strength training and occasional speed work too.
There is a prerequisite of being able to run continuously for 20 minutes. If you’d like to build towards that, try one of Zoe’s 0-5k courses before joining!
Meet near the tennis courts – engine.flying.librarian on What3Words.
PBs and Pizzas
Last Friday of every month 18:00-19:30
PB stands for Personal Best. This is a social session on the last Friday of each month where you can test your strength in a non-competitive, celebratory environment.
Pizzas are not mandatory but always encouraged. Bring cash / card to cover your takeaway order.
Courses and Workshops
We also run workshops and 4-8 week short courses on specific aspects of health and fitness.
