Body Torque's personalised training is tailored to strengthen the heart, protect joints, work around existing injuries, and improve sleep and recovery — helping members move better, feel younger and live stronger. The gym runs dedicated programmes including Thriving Through Menopause, Strong for Life 60+, and Lean & Strong for Men 40+, alongside general Newmarket gym training sessions.
Body Torque's Body Intel Services go beyond the scales. A 3D & Bio-Impedance Body Scan combines a 3D visual of your shape with an internal check measuring metabolic age, fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle mass and posture imbalances. This can be extended with a Full Metabolic Assessment covering VO2 Max, aerobic-cardiovascular health and daily calorie burn, or a Genetic DNA & Nutrition Assessment revealing how your body responds to food, exercise, sleep and stress. A Platinum Package bundles all three together for a complete picture.
For those wanting the flexibility of training anywhere, BT Online offers effective training programmes, easy-to-follow food guidance and flexible support, all accessible from a phone.
Body Torque members can use MyZone Heart Rate Monitors for real-time, personalised effort tracking — setting goals, seeing progress, staying accountable, and connecting to the wider Body Torque community during every session.
