Group Fitness
Here at Vitality Semaphore all participants are welcome to take a no charge fitness test, functional movement screen and well-being inventory so that we can cater for your individual needs within these group fitness classes.
Come and try a range of group fitness classes that are suited for all levels and ages, with the focus on postural strength, mobility and balance in all classes.
We don’t do “smash smash” here, especially in the cardio circuits, strength and conditioning circuits. I did smash smash when I was training and representing Australia in sport aerobics when I was in my 20’s! Now don’t get me wrong, if you want to go for it, let us know, we can push you if that is what you wish for, no issues there.
BUT beginners or people who have been sedentary for many years, we follow the “talk and workout rule”, for at least some time, If you can exercise for most of the 40 mins and talk and get some huffing and puffing at the same time, you are in a safe training place.
Please book in for your complimentary fitness test and functional movement screening (FMS). The FMS is optional but recommended, so that we can meet your physical wellness needs.
