Not sure what to say?

Hi, I’d like to try a first class. I haven’t trained for a while and I’m not sure which class to choose.

That’s all you need. We’ll take it from there.

Step 2

Getting here & arriving

We’re at 24 Northline Yard, London [postcode]. Aim to arrive ten minutes before your class.

  • [Owner: describe the entrance, e.g. “blue door beside the café, buzzer marked Northline”]

  • [Owner: bike parking and car parking details]

Step 3

What to bring

Nothing special. Wear or bring something comfortable and you’re set.

  • Clothes you can move in
  • Clean indoor trainers
  • A water bottle
  • A small towel
  • A padlock, if you like
  • Any medication you may need

Changing rooms with showers and lockers are available. [Owner: confirm facilities]

Step 4

Meeting your coach

Your coach will meet you at reception, show you the changing area and training floor, and check the notes from your phone call. This is a good moment to mention anything you’ve remembered since, or anything you’re nervous about.

  • Quick tour of the studio
  • A short chat about how you’re feeling today
  • Introduction to the rest of the group
Step 5

The session

Classes last 40 to 50 minutes. You’ll be positioned near the coach, and every exercise has an easier option.

  1. First 10 minutes

    Warm up with everyone

    The same gentle warm-up for all levels.

  2. Main part

    Coached work at your level

    Weights or pace are chosen with you. Rest whenever you need.

  3. Last 5 minutes

    Cool down

    Easy stretching while your breathing settles.

Step 6

Afterwards

Stay for a couple of minutes. Your coach will ask how it felt and suggest which class might suit you next. Mild muscle soreness over the following day or two is normal after a new activity.

Coming back?

Reception can arrange your next class before you leave, or call us later in the week. Compare memberships when you’re ready.

Step 7

Accessibility & questions

We want the studio to work for as many people as possible. Please ask about anything that would help you feel comfortable.

  • Step-free access: [Owner: confirm step-free entrance, lift and accessible toilet]
  • Bringing someone: a friend or carer is welcome to come with you for your first visit. [Owner: confirm]
  • Quieter times: ask reception which sessions tend to be calmer.
  • Health questions: we can adapt exercises, but we’re not medical professionals. For specific conditions, check with your GP first.
