Heartcore's signature pilates classes

Heartcore's reformer-based classes use core-focused functional training in a highly effective, high-energy class format to provide a comprehensive full body workout in the shortest possible timeframe. Our custom made reformers have been specifically designed to deliver optimal results by maximizing potential exercise combinations and minimizing downtime. The result is a dynamic and intense 55-minute workout that burns calories rapidly and allows you to sculpt your physique in ways that traditional exercise simply can not match.

Spincore

Introduced at the start of 2009, Spincore is a 55-minute dual workout concept that combines 30 minutes of intense cardiovascular exercise on our state of the art spin bikes with 25 minutes of reformer-based lengthening and strenghtening. This workout offers the perfect combination of cardio, weight-loss and body-sculpting. All levels welcome.

Purespin50

Our fast-paced aerobic cycling classes are designed to enhance fat burning in order to maximize the definition of your physique. Traditional spinning classes have long been recognized as a great way to burn calories (up to 550 in just 50 minutes). Throw our state of the art bikes and energetic trainers in to the mix and you've got a cardio workout that is sure to bring out the best in you. All levels welcome.

KettleCore

A serious hardcore class for those of you who are regulars of our HeartCore classes and want to raise the bar.

The kettlebell is a cast iron weight that looks a little bit like a cannonball with a handle. Kettlebell training is known as an extremely effective and speedy way to build strength, balance, flexibility, coordination and endurance.

Lifting and swinging the kettlebell fires up your heart rate and gets your metabolism racing – an intensive session can burn as many calories in 10 minutes as running for 45 minutes on a treadmill! In our 55 minute long KettleCore class, cardio-intensive kettlebell drills are interspersed with lengthening and strengthening to give you a true, all over workout. Your legs might turn to jelly, your heart will pound, but it will be worth it!

Throughout September 2010, KettleCore classes will be running at our Chelsea, Hampstead and Notting Hill studios, and all classes will be focused on getting your technique up to scratch. Our instructors will take you through a series of the basic kettlebell drills - once you've got the knack of the lifts, the swings, the squats and the presses, your instructor will sign you off and you can start the training that has us all hooked! After September, technique classes will run once a week, so you’ll always have a chance to get started on his fantastic workout.
