Some of you may have recently seen our schedule change to include classes we have labelled Strongevity. In some ways, the intent of these classes, and indeed the intent of all of our classes, is summarised within the name.

We believe people are meant to be strong physically, mentally and emotionally so that they can grapple with any of the challenges that life throws at them. This isn’t just for young people, our bodies are wonderful adaptive organisms that are capable of supporting fulfilling lives for the long haul. It is these beliefs that make us fuse the words Strong + Longevity to describe the class we have created to support the future we believe in.

It is a class that empowers participants to work at their own pace, as it gently builds demand to an appropriate level. It uses activities that are functional in the truest sense of the word. Activities that improve people’s abilities to lie down and stand up and to carry things in a variety of ways. Activities that teach people how to productively manage fatigue while using their strength, so that they can do things that they like doing, better, for longer.

Alongside what we believe is an industry leading, scientifically sound, training methodology, we also offer a supportive environment for people to be themselves and to explore things. It is a place where people can be physically and emotionally safe, hopefully giving them the space to replenish their spirit so that they can give the world their best when they depart.

Life isn’t about what happens in the gym, but what happens in the gym should support life. That’s why I’m so excited that we’ve been able to start these classes, and I hope that we are going to see a bunch of people embracing a stronger life for the the long haul.
