Basingstoke Body Combat

We’ve just started a brand new class – Les Mills BodyCombat in Basingstoke. Its a great way of getting fit and staying fit without having to have an expensive membership to a gym. So far we’ve done a couple of taster classes and they’ve been well attended by both men and women with the participants being suitably physically tired by the end, but mentally stimulated. I have to admit that, although I can do the moves, kind of ;-) , I can’t keep to a beat to save my life, but still have had fun in the fitness class, come along and try a class and don’t laugh too much at the guy who is out of time to the music, its me.

Get fit and lose weight in Basingstoke

Get fit and lose weight in Basingstoke

We are launching a new health and fitness class in Basingstoke, Starting Monday 4th January ready for all of those New Years resolutions that we make about wanting to get fit and lose weight and re-capture those svelte bodies of yesteryear.

Many of us have tried a Boxercise or Body Combat class in Basingstoke and we know how fun and popular these classes are for fitness, this is the next step. Many people tried our Ladies only fitness Combat Groove workout that was subsidised by Hampshire County Council under their Return to Sport Initiative. We are pleased now to be able to offer a general class suitable for both men and women to come to, to get fitter that is also subsidised.

The class in Basingstoke is a general fitness class working on the core principles of Mixed Martial Arts to help you get fitter, stronger and more flexible. This class is a pure workout, designed to use the great moves that are taught in a Mixed Martial Arts class using lots of equipments and some great circuits to workout those muscles.

Each class will start with a good warm up to get the body ready for the class, we’ll follow up with some conditioning work, typically each class will focus on the Core muscles (good for back, bums and tums) with a great range of equipment to use and also exercises using your own body weight. In addition each week we’ll look at other parts of the body for example working on the legs or arms to make sure you get a good all round level of fitness.

The main part of the class will focus on circuit training using the equipment in our new centre and also on MMA techniques as used by some of the fittest athletes in the world. Circuit training this way is one of the best methods of exercising as it provides excellent all round fitness, tone, strength, and a reduction in weight and inches. In short, maximum results in minimum time.

Had a tough day in the office or at home?

  • No problem come and learn how to punch one of our freestanding cardio kickbags
  • Not enough, don’t worry you can kick it as well.
  • Want to do some more, great, pick up a grappling dummy and have a wrestle with it.
  • Not skipped since school? Don’t worry we’ll soon get you going again. (Maybe not with the school yard rhymes though)
  • Ever tried the Gecko? You will.
  • Nimble on your feet? You soon will be with our ladders
  • Buns of steels, yes you can with our “Oh No’s”
  • How many ways to do a sit up. 1-2-3-4…. Well we’ll let you decide, after a workout
  • Want better shoulder and forearm strength, we’ve got just the thing, enjoy that burn
  • And lots more as well………………. You’ll feel those calories just burning off during each class.

We guarantee at the end of each class, you’ll have had a great workout and feel great about it.

After doing this class, you’ll never want to do a ‘normal’ circuit class again.”

The class will finish with some deep stretching and relaxation as a cool down for those tired muscles.

We’ve run a few taster sessions already and the feedback from the participants was excellent with everyone attending agreeing that these classes will help you to get very fit, very quickly.

You don’t need to be fit to start the classes, as they are suitable for all with everyone able to work to improve their own level of fitness. There are beginner, intermediate and expert levels within each exercise set.

The subsidised rate for this class is going to be limited to the first 25 participants and like the Ladies Only Combat Groove class we will be advertising the class across the Borough. If you have a friend that might enjoy this class, please feel free to let them know about the course.

Make this the first of your New Year’s Resolutions that you keep.

Ladies, returning to sport in Basingstoke? Get fit and enjoy some YOU time. Or do you want to try a new fun keep fit and exercise activity? If so, we’ve got just the things for you to do.

Sports Hampshire and Isle of Wight and Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council are strong supporters of Shin Gi Tai. When they approached us to put on some health and fitness activities in the Basingstoke area for women to help encourage them to return to exercise or if already exercising, then to try a different sport, at a very low cost, we agreed.

The way that this works is that Sports Hampshire and IOW provide funding to allow people to have subsidised sports sessions for an 8-10 week period as part of their Return to Sport initiative. We decided to do better than this, with their agreement and support we are running a

Fitness class at Bishop Challoner School in Basingstoke

Starting Tuesday 6th October 19:00  - 20:00

£25 (you save £55)

We already running a very successful children’s fitness class in Basingstoke called Combat Groove. The kids love this and really get a great workout. Many of the parents of these children have seen our Combat Groove classes and seen the fun that the kids have been having during this class and asked us if we could do an adults version. 

We are going to use this funding to launch an adult version of Combat Groove with a few slight differences that we felt would be suitable for adult participants.

Combat Groove is an exhilarating and unique aerobic workout that combines Dance and Freestyle Martial Arts to music. Its great exercise to help you to tone up and stay fit and generally have a great fitness session.

If you enjoy the likes of Aerobics or BodyJam then you’ll love Combat Groove, which combines Dance routines to some great music, freestyle Martial arts, which is performance based martial arts (this means absolutely no fighting and no contact) again to music and the use of weapons forms, using safety foam covered Jo’s to add another dimension to the workout.

In addition to the Combat Groove, we’ll spend a small amount of time at each lesson giving some advice on Ladies Self Defence, both from a preventative perspective and also practically knowing how to defend yourself.

All of the sessions will include some relaxation and stretching techniques from the likes of Yoga and Tai Chi to help you relax and stretch out those tired muscles.

The funding for the class is going to be limited to the first 30 participants. People outside of the 30 people who join will have to pay £80 for the course including the lessons, membership and insurance.
