Pilates for Beginners
Yoga for Relaxation
This class is a mixture of cardiovascular and resistance
exercises designed to target every muscle group in the
body. It will help improve your cardiovascular fitness
and help to define and tone your body with a variety of
exercises to ensure you get a full body workout!
This class is very popular among the GIG members.

class will help you ease into running at a gradual
level. The idea is to transform you from a couch potato
to a runner, getting you running three miles (5K) on
a regular basis. This session will get you fit and the
emphasis is on increasing the time or the distance you
run each week. Don’t miss out and enjoy tracking your
fitness over the 6 weeks.
This class is designed for beginners and its focus is on
the Pilates principles of breathing, core stabilisation,
alignment, body awareness and control. Enjoy the
opportunity to learn how to develop those core postural
muscles and aim to improve the perfect balance
between strength and flexibility for your body.
Yoga is the practice of uniting all aspects of a person
– body, mind, and spirit, through physical postures,
breathing exercises and meditation.
Flexibility,
strength and muscle tone improve quickly as the mind
and body work together in harmony and unison. Yoga
is an excellent way to stretch and strengthen the body,
focus the mind, and relax the spirit. In fact, most
modern stress-reduction techniques are based on the
principles of yoga.
