Strength Nation Carterton runs a wide range of group classes, all included in membership and bookable through the gym app. Circuit classes are built around Metcon training, combining functional, bodyweight, dumbbell and barbell movements at a scalable intensity for every fitness level. For those training toward competition, Hyrox blends running, functional strength and pacing strategies modelled on the Hyrox race format.
Gentler options include Fit For Life, designed for the older community around balance, strength, flexibility and confidence, and Stretch, which works on flexibility and mobility through a series of full-body poses. Pilates offers a low-impact, full-body approach suited to all ages, while Spin delivers a high-energy cardio workout to upbeat music. Mums returning to exercise after having a baby are well catered for too, with the slow-paced Mumfit Fundamentals and the baby-friendly MumHIIT class, which includes pram-friendly spaces so mums can train with their little ones nearby.
