Fitness Classes In St Helens

Class 1 : Abs and Pads Monday 6pm-7pm

Abs and Pads is very good. It consists of around 45 mins of boxing based circuits. Followed by/inter spaced with around 10 mins of abdominals. Watch out for the 2 minute burn-out (one minute continuous punching with each arm.) The fitness suite is well stocked with 2 heavy bags and ample boxing pads. I would advise you bring your own gloves (available for a tenner from sports direct.)

Class 2 : Circuit Training Wednesday 6pm-7pm

Classic circuits. 2 rounds of around 14 stations. 1 minute 30 on each station with 30 seconds rest. Stations are varied to keep you on your toes. Were as abs and pads has a upper body bais, circuits is balanced and will have you using all you muscles even some you didn't even know you had.

Classes are at central fitness in St Helens town centre (in the old YMCA building), and cost £2 for Go Active members or £3 for non members. Classes start at 6 so you'll need to be changed and ready.

Classes are delivered by Joe the man behind such blogs entries as First Experience with a personal trainer and Personal Trainer : Welcome to The Hurt Locker! While the classes are not as hardcore as the personal training sessions, these blog posts will give you some idea about what to expect.

I can personnally recommend both classes.
