ADVANCED WORKOUTS

You’re almost at the top of your game!

Aim to do this workout three times a week to continue your progress; and it should take you about an hour to complete. As always, alternate this with a cardio session of your choice for 30 minutes every other day.

We recommend you follow the advanced programme for between four to six months. Then, to take your training to the next level, speak to one of our Fitness

Professionals for details on personal training! We will be happy to devise a personalised training programme specific to your individual requirements!
