Yoga classes. Vinyasa means “breath-synchronised movement,” and Vinyasa yoga is a series of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like, which explains why it is sometimes referred to as Vinyasa Flow or just Flow.

Like all styles of yoga, Vinyasa has both mental and physical benefits. Physically, sweat expels toxins and re-energises your body. Mentally, the synchronized breathing relaxes your mind and helps to release any blockage of energy flow throughout your body.

These are held at Prebbleton on a Monday evening. Refer to Services/Yoga for more detail. The classes are on Monday evenings at 6.30pm. Registrations are now open for all 2014 yoga classes.

Boot Camp is a group type class that challenges the body by using cardiovascular and functional conditioning exercises. These exercises will have you burning calories, strengthen your muscles, tone and shape your body and give you more stamina and endurance. It is designed for all comers and is a great social experience and people are welcome to drop in on a casual basis.

Groups and Sports teams. Another area of the business is catering for corporate groups such as sports teams, clubs and company groups who are looking to improve fitness for pre-season training or a particular event, etc.

Schools. The last area is in the schools and 3G Fitness has developed a health and fitness programme for schools, mainly for year 8-13 level and this has already been successful though several institutions.

3G Fitness’s philosophy is about functional training based on the things we all do each day. Free weights, medicine balls and other equipment are used to train people based on what we call ‘Primal Movement Patterns”.
