What’s what @ Momentum Training – How to find your ideal class

Welcome to Momentum Training,

As some of you are new to us we thought we would skip the awkward part and introduce ourselves first. As we’re not your typical leisure facility we thought it might be best if we let you know what is the main difference between our classes and what might suit you and your fitness thirst.

Metcon: Low load, low skill, high capacity. General fitness, with DBs, KBs, dead-balls, ropes and mono-structural. A different workout every class. Suitable for beginners. A great place to get your body moving, heart pumping. For those looking to loose some weight, burn some fat, lower your resting heart rate, blood pressure and get a general base this is the class for you.

Spin: Essentially, MetCon on wheels. For those looking for a solid spin class with great tunes and instructors to follow this would be one of the best spin classes in London. Don’t let us tell you about it, come and see for yourself. For those looking to lower your resting heart rate, blood pressure and get a general base this is the class for you.

StrongCon: Medium load, medium skill, medium to high capacity. Body composition, with barbells, DBs, KBs, and mono-structural. A three-month program cycle. Working solo or in teams of 2 to 3 people.

Barbell Basics: For those looking to start their strength journey. This program will be tailored to the beginner to intermediate lifter looking to increase their knowledge on strength training. You’ll learn not only the movements but also how to read the program and a vast vocabulary of exercises to boost your confidence before moving into our Barbell Club sessions.

Barbell Club*: For those looking to really focus on strength and hypertrophy, understand programming to a greater depth and gain strength, at a fast rate.  Our programs will range from four – six-month program cycles. Great place to find a BFF gym buddy.

Weightlifting (Olympic lifts)*: Medium to high load, high skill, low capacity. Snatch, clean and jerk, and squat. Get serious (with smiles) to progress in these lifts. Monthly program cycle. Feel part of a tight-knit team.

Sunday Service*: High load, high skill, high capacity. Weightlifting, powerlifting, and conditioning for the advanced member. Program cycle determined by coach and class agreement on goals. During this class the instructor will join in the session.

Gymnastics: High strength, medium-high skill, low to high capacity. Bodyweight movements: muscle-ups, pull-ups, handstand push-ups, handstand walks, toes-to-bar. Monthly program cycle. Strength focus for beginners. Capacity for advanced. The same friendly faces week after week.

CrossFit*: All of the above are put together into one. CrossFit will dip and dive in and out of a strength, strength endurance to cardiovascular fitness. We will follow a set program for 4-6 weeks before we shift our focus and move on. Long term results are guaranteed if you are consistent and trust the process.  Beginner to advanced – everyone welcome. Community is key.

We look forward to seeing you in the classes soon!
