Would you like to tone your thighs, flatten your tummy, sculpt your chest and firm your arms in just over half an hour per week!!?? It sounds unbelievable doesn't it!? Well, it can be done!!!!

We are utilizing an adapted form of 'High intensity exercise' which has been used in the USA for a few years. It is called 'time under tension'. A development of this, combined with initial research from the West point military academy study has led to a highly effective method of resistance exercise known as 'Express Fitness'.

We are the first in the area (and quite possibly the country) to offer such Express Fitness through the application of training lines.

Cardiovascular improvement, strength gains and flexibility improvement are all possible in a training time of approximately 19 minutes per session. Individuals who follow this program twice per week (hence 39mins per week) will see major improvements in all aspects of fitness. The levels of improvement will of course be directly related to how much effort is put forth.

The secret is not to count how many repetitions you perform. Instead concentrate on performing each repetition in perfect style. When and only when the timer sounds it is time to move on. This marks a major shift away from conventional exercise programs. The number of repetitions count for nothing, what’s important is the QUALITY of each repetition and the TOTAL DURATION of each exercise you do.  

Quite simply Nautilus exercise stations are placed in a line. In between or situated close by are several pieces of cardio-vascular equipment. We have opted to use 'spinning bikes'.

We use a traffic light system with pre-programmed timings. You complete (or try to complete!) a specified time on each exercise station immediately followed by a timed period on the cardio vascular equipment. You’ll alternate resistance work with cardio vascular work, in sequence, along the training line. All of the major muscle groups will receive proper stimulation as will the heart and lungs for the duration of the workout.

Whatever your goal or current fitness level, Express Fitness will work for you. If you’d like to lose fat, improve your body shape, tone, improve stamina or even build muscle it’s all possible in a productive and time efficient manner. Now, time really doesn’t have to be a factor when it comes to exercise!
