Classes for all levels and fitness abilities
For beginners, these classes can be a great entry into the Functional Patterns training methodology. For existing clients, they can serve as an extra weekly session to help supplement their one to one training with us.
We have classes for all levels and fitness abilities. Generally, entering the class pool is not recommended if you are in active pain, however our beginner classes can be an appropriate way of dealing with small niggles. Participants can often dramatically reduce their pain levels while completing the 8 week block.

Beginner 8 Week Block
Our beginner class runs for 8 consecutive weeks and is a great introduction to the Functional Patterns system. This block includes a gait and posture analysis, as well as a 3D posture scan before commencing in order to give you a good understanding of your own individual postural issues. We cover self massage techniques in order to give relief to tight and restricted areas in the body, as well as a wide range of corrective exercises which can be tailored to your individual issues. These corrective exercises are the foundation which we build on in more advanced classes. The goal of this programme is to enhance your body control, and give you greater understanding of your specific issues.
-
Intermediate Classes
Intermediate classes are a step up in terms of intensity and build on our beginner block. They are also a great entry for clients who have been doing one to one training and want an extra session during the week to help maximize their results. Expect more advanced corrective exercises and an introduction to more demanding dynamic, explosive movements.
-
Advanced Classes
Our advanced classes are for long term clients with a very good understanding of the Functional Patterns system. We incorporate a wider range of equipment, and progress to highly demanding dynamic exercises using the whole body. Expect to be worked hard while maintaining good form and technique throughout.
What makes our classes different?
More than a generic group workout
Our classes are designed to offer more than a generic group workout. We don’t allow participants to exercise in a way that simply compounds existing issues and the bad patterns their body already has.
While most exercise classes sacrifice good form and understanding for a workout, we make sure that you have done the necessary work before exposing yourself to high intensity exercise. You should leave classes feeling better and with less discomfort than you came in with, not the other way around.
Our classes are limited to 8 participants for beginners, and 6 participants for intermediate and advanced, making sure you receive the best individualised attention from our expert practitioners.

The beginner block is the starting point
If you are totally new to Functional Patterns our beginner 8 week block is the starting point. From there you can progress into our intermediate and advanced classes. Existing clients can enter the pool when their practitioner is happy with their understanding, and can best advise on what level is appropriate.
Our beginner 8 week blocks run roughly 4 times per year, with Intermediate and Advanced classes running continuously in 6 week blocks. Get in touch to register your interest in the next Beginner Fundamentals block or to learn more about our small group training programme.
