The Original Gym group training consists of small classes of up to six, with individualised programming and detailed coaching. By using proven programming methods, our group training approach will take you from A to B. This is the difference between real training, and just getting a workout.
The goal of training is to develop athletic ability and improve musculoskeletal health by improving our strength, mobility and overall ability to move. Our aim is to build an injury-resistant resilient body, improving both your flexibility and strength together, as well as making you leaner, fitter and more athletic.
The series consists of a number of sessions, each with a different focus.
FOUNDATION: Basic body mechanics, Strength and mobility
Most sporting and other life activity takes place on our feet. This program sets the foundation for our movement on the feet, so we can move better and become better athletes on our feet. Our first goals are fundamental body awareness and control of the spine and hip, learning to both brace and move. From there we learn fundamental human movements - squatting, and bending at the hip, before we can build strength, increase flexibility, and develop true athleticism.
BARBELL: Olympic Weightlifting
This is an “intermediate” level session, by invite or application only as there is a prerequisite level of ability required to participate. The focus is on the barbell lifts - squats and olympic lifts, developing lower body strength, power and agility.
MUSCLE UP: “Gymnastic” Upper Body Strength
"Muscle Up" is the name of our upper body strength oriented class. Our upper body strength work is based on fundamental gymnastic and bodyweight based strength exercises - handstands, one arm push ups, chin ups and pull ups and so on. A major milestone in this process is the infamous "muscle up". This move starts from a hanging position on the rings, pulling all the way up and over the rings before pressing up, building strength through a wide range of movement. This is coupled with mobility and structural balance exercises to make you strong, resilient and flexible.
U16S GROUP TRAINING
Our Under-16s group sessions provide a non-competitive atmosphere that emphasises personal growth, confidence-building, and skill development for upcoming fitness challenges. These sessions are centred around enhancing strength, coordination, and flexibility, establishing a strong foundation for future training while instilling confidence in mastering various movements.
MOVEMENT AND MOBILITY
Our Movement & Mobility class will use progressive range-of-motion development methods to increase your mobility, improve your posture and take the brakes off your athletic ability! Training follows specific blocks, and content varies, but these classes regularly feature loaded stretches, skills development (handstands etc), straight arm strength training and prehab work as well as other movement topics.
