Course Guide

  • Wear appropriate clothing and make sure your footwear is designed for the activity.

  • As a courtesy to others and for health and safety reasons, please arrive 5 minutes before the class start time to set up. We will refuse access to anyone arriving after the class has started. The warm up is a crucial part of the session and reduces the risk of injury.

  • Drink plenty of water before, during and after the exercise.

  • Never exercise after a heavy meal. A light carbohydrate snack is ideal.
      
  • Inform your instructor of any medication, injury, ante/post natal or illness that may affect your ability to exercise.

  • You should not exercise beyond your own abilities. If you know or are concerned that you have a medical condition which might interfere with you exercising safely, you should seek advice from a relevant medical professional.
  • Exercise carries its own risks. You should not carry out any activities which you have been told are not suitable for you.
