THE STUDIO

What should I bring to class?

You must have grip socks and a sweat towel. We’re an environmentally-conscious studio and don’t provide plastic cups, so bring your own water bottle.

How early should I arrive to class?
First time getting STRONG? Arrive 15 minutes early so we can show you Strong. Otherwise, arrive five minutes before class. If you’re late, your spot may be given to someone on the waitlist.
Do you have lockers?
Yes. Put your belongings in our lockers and get down for more.
Are grip socks required?
More grip, no slip. For your own safety, you must wear grip socks. No exceptions.
What else should I bring?
You need your own water bottle and a sweat towel. Forgot yours? Purchase a STRONG towel at the studio.
Do you have showers on the premises?
More sweat, more spa. We provide you with showers, change rooms and toilets with full amenities when you workout at STRONG. Eucalyptus-scented towels included.
How many Rowformer beds in class?
Each STRONG studio has between 15-20 Rowformer beds. Hit up your studio of choice to confirm.
Can I bring my mobile phone to class?
Leave it in your locker while you sweat in class. Proud of what you’ve achieved? So are we. Grab a picture in front of our photo wall after class to show it off.

THE WORKOUT

What is a STRONG Class?
A class for those down for more. The class that will change the way you train. For good.

Sweat. Shake. Leave strong. Our 45-minute classic combination rowform class includes light and heavy resistance strength work for a full-body, STRONG signature workout. Pilates inspired to work your upper body, back, legs, booty, obliques and abs. Cardio infused with a trio of five minute rowing intervals to get your heart rate up. Well-rounded, like your booty after the burn.

Push yourself out of your comfort zone with our motivational trainers.

How is a STRONG class on the Rowformer different to Pilates and Lagree?
The STRONG workout is unlike anything you’ve done before. Our Rowformer is the first machine to combine resistance training with cardio HIIT training. Our classes combine strong controlled movements (slow twitch muscle fibre activation that helps build endurance) and bursts of fast movement (fast twitch fibre activation that promotes speed and power).

Add cardio HIIT training with rowing and you have a unique, challenging way to workout. For a new kind of strong. Plus, with little to no impact on your joints, it’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to train.

How many times should I come a week?
Three classes a week to get the most benefits of the STRONG workout. Or five, if you’re nuts (about us). Our classes leave little to no impact on the joints so you can come as often as you like. But every body is different. It’s important to do what feels good for yours and what it responds to best.
What is a rowformer?
Your workout partner. The first machine of its kind; a combined Pilates & Rowing machine.
Do you have a beginner class?
All fitness levels are welcome in each class so there’s no need for beginner classes. Our STRONG trainers can modify the class to your needs. If you’re doing the STRONG workout for the first time, arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can get you comfortable with the Rowformer.
Is this class going to be hard?
The hardest thing you’ll do all week. The best thing too. Because you’re down for more - more challenging, more sweat, more comfort-zone pushing. Our classes are intense. But don’t sweat it. Yet. Our STRONG trainers can adjust the intensity to your needs. The rowformer changes angles to target different areas of the body during the exercises.

Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it first go. Enjoy the beats, embrace the challenge, and give yourselves a couple of weeks to get to know the exercises and flow of the classes.

How many calories will I burn?

Get what you put in. Plus a little more. The number of calories burned depends on your gender and size, but on average you could burn upwards of 800+ calories in a single 45-minute class.
