The heart of good health
If you want to feel better, than exercise is one of the keys to physical and mental wellbeing. Following an appropriate personal programme can help improve your general health, make your heart work more effectively, and even help you sleep more easily. Just remember not to push too hard.
'I need a balanced workout...'
Our fully qualified fitness professionals are the right people to help you devise a personal programme that will help you build your aerobic fitness, your strength and your flexibility. You can set your own goals and work at your own pace - no one will push you to do more than you feel comfortable with.
'I would like a healthier heart...'
Exercise can help prevent heart disease and other ailments connected to the performance of the heart. Aerobic exercise makes the heart work harder, and as a result, it doesn't have to pump so hard to get your blood around your body. Any exercise which increases your heart rate will help to strengthen your heart. So every time you step on a treadmill, bike or cross-trainer, you'll be helping your heart get fitter and healthier.
'I feel stressed all the time...'
Many doctors prescribe physical exercise as a first course of action in the treatment of stress-related conditions. Vigorous physical activity helps to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, and can even counteract it through the production of 'happy hormones'. If you find it difficult to get started, then one of our group classes could help to motivate you, and make your workout more fun. Circuit classes could be ideal, with a balance of aerobic and strength exercises supervised by an instructor all helping to strengthen your body.
'I'm not all that mobile, can I still exercise?'
Swimming's a great place to start exercise, because your bodyweight is supported by the water, and there's no impact on your joints. The resistance that the water offers helps you improve your muscle strength, and the benefits to your heart and lungs are almost endless. For a more organised water workout, then one of our LA water aerobics classes could be just the thing for you.
