Question 2

What takes place at an induction?

Accepted Answer

At the induction, you will be met by our team of clinical exercise instructors and one of our doctors.

The doctor will first speak with the group of new participants outlining what to expect from the classes and the importance of these classes on your health and wellbeing.

Then you will take part in basic fitness test assessments which will measure your current strength and cardio levels. This is done so that when we re-test you after 12 weeks you can compare and see your improvement.

Please wear comfortable clothing, and bring water and reading glasses if required.

The induction usually lasts 90 minutes in total.
