Invigor8 launches Les Mills classes and virtual fitness suites
Residents can now access a raft of new virtual and in-person Les Mills fitness classes at leisure facilities across the borough.
Partnering up with the international fitness brand, Wirral’s programme will include 38 virtual classes and 30 in person instructor-led classes in the borough’s fitness centres every week.
Both members and non-members will be able to access Body Pump, Body Combat and more classes, led by virtual Les Mills instructors from across the globe. To host the new classes, leisure centres including Leasowe, Guinea Gap, Europa and West Kirby have had new equipment and platforms installed, including large screens to host the interactive sessions.
As well as the virtual sessions, in-person Les Mills classes are also now available across centres led by the highly qualified Invigor8 Fitness Team.
Councillor Helen Cameron, Chair of the Tourism, Communities, Culture & Leisure Committee said:
Not only do we want our leisure facilities to be great places for our residents to keep healthy and get active, we want to offer the latest fitness equipment and state-of-the-art programming that appeals to a broad cross section of residents and potential new members.
Bringing in world renowned Les Mills classes means there’s something new for everyone to try. There’s even a ‘Born to Move’ movement class for little ones as young as two – so our young people can start forming healthy exercise habits early on.
The project will introduce the following new classes in Wirral’s centres:
- BODYPUMP: Full body weights workout, Body Pump is for anyone looking to get lean, toned and fit – fast.
- BODYCOMBAT: The high energy, martial arts inspired, non-contact workout. Punch, kick and strike your way to fitness.
- BODYBALANCE: The yoga-based class that will improve your mind, your body and your life. Strengthen your entire body and leave feeling calm and centred.
- SPRINT: The 30-minute cycle workout that uses high intensity interval training.
- BORN TO MOVE: Interactive classes with children aged 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-12 years old and teens.
