Group strength classes work well when the coach checks your form and adjusts each move to your ability, so the session stays safe as well as hard. Heart rate monitors help you see how hard you are working, though the numbers are a guide rather than a target. Ask about any injuries before the first class, so the coach can suggest changes. Regulars often build their week around a few set classes.
BFT Nelson suits Nelson CBD workers and locals who want coached group strength sessions with an easy walk from the bus exchange.
