Class types

Strength Training classes we offer at Clifford Studios.

Sweat + Strength

This class varies from week to week; combining equipment and bodyweight exercises to build up strength, increase the heart rate and get a sweat on!

You'll do AMRAPs, EMOMs, Tabata, pyramid sets, ladders, supersets, tri-sets and much more in any one session with no 2 classes being the same!

Strength Club

NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS

Born out of our Sweat + Strength class concept, 'Strength Club' is a session designed to help effectively track your progression.

Fatema will take you through the same set of carefully planned resistance training exercises for 4 - 8 weeks. We'll keep your Strength Club progress cards at the front desk and during each session, you'll note your rep count and the weight you're lifting, thrusting, swinging or whatever else Fatema dreams up. We encourage you to attend this class consistently to see real gains; regardless of whether your starting point is a 2kg kettlebell swing or a 20kg one.

These sessions will combine the precision and accountability of personal training with the variety and camaraderie of a class, all within the super supportive Clifford Studios community.

TRX

'TRX' stands for Total Resistance Exercise. It was created by the US Navy SEALs and requires the use of the TRX Suspension Trainer; a portable performance training tool that leverages gravity and the user’s body weight to complete hundreds of exercises.

These exercises develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously.

What inspired you to become an instructor?
I have always loved sports and exercise. In my 30’s I started strength training and loved how it challenged me and made me feel. I want to overcome the stereotypes that we have when we think of lifting weights and to show people it’s easy.

What's your favourite thing about teaching?
Seeing clients' confidence increase as they start to lift heavier weights and believe in themselves. I relish the challenges that arise when someone has an injury or weakness I can help them with through exercise. I love inspiring people with my own fitness journey too.

What do you love about CS?
The team and the studio space is amazing. We offer a range of classes that compliment each other. We have built a community where clients can network, socialise, workout and have fun and I’ve made many friendships through the studio.
We have an inspirational boss who leads the team and the best coaches in the business!
