On Monday May 4 we will be relaunching our exciting new and improved Group Exercise Program. The main feature of the program is that all sessions will be 30 minutes in duration. At the time of writing, we are still finalising the roster, but there will be around 50 sessions a week to choose from.

The new structure is perfect for busy people, provides greater variety of class type and caters for both beginners and the experienced. The session structure will change slightly by spending more time on the actual conditioning phase during the sessions and less time warming up and cooling down as was the case with the one hour classes.

We will also be using our team of full time Personal Trainers to deliver the sessions, which will allow you to get more personal instruction and follow up, to ensure you get the most out of your training.

The old favourites of aqua and spin cycling will remain as well as some new styles outlined below:

OuTdOOr TrAininG Exercise outdoors using our fitness trail obstacle course, including some of the functional training activities we use in our boot camp sessions. The trainers will modify the session to suit all fitness levels.

BOxinG As announced previously we will be adding some punching bags to the fitness trail area and offering a boxing only session.

You will need to purchase your own set of boxing glove inners for use in the classes.($5)

CirCuiT using our new circuit gym, this has proven very popular with our senior members. Great way to get both strength and cardio benefits.

SWiMMinG Learn how to include interval training and specific swimming drills that will provide variety and results.

HikinG using local streets and bush areas. These will only be held during the day until next summer.

HYdrOWarm water exercise to assist with increasing joint range of movement and for those needing to rehab an injury.

We believe that this new approach to group training delivers the best possible support to members, which is what makes your Oceana membership such good value for money.

The proposed roster will be available on our web site www.ohf.com.au and from reception within the next 2 weeks so keep an eye out for that.

New Group Exercise Program

Our Trainers want you...

sPEciaL OffEr

2 for 1 Personal training

the way you think about food, exercise & your body

With budgets tightening and people getting worried about the effects of the economic crisis, we are doing our bit by allowing 2 people to train together for the price of one throughout May and June.

That applies to all current and new Personal training clients and means that a session can cost under $20 per person. This represents fantastic value. So find a training partner, make an appointment today and you will start seeing results you never thought were possible.
