Who is it for?
Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to men and women of all ages and abilities.
How it works
Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out.

- Cinch the waistline, slim the thighs, and strengthen connective tissue and infrastructural muscles with the combination of stability and cardio.
- Numerous studies have proven the powerful brain boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming. The rhythm of drumming permeates the entire brain to improve focus, increases higher-level thinking and decision-making skills, boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure, decreases chronic pain, anxiety, and fatigue

How it works
It’s called Knockout, turns out – not ballet. It’s not gentle, it’s not mildly strenuous, it’s not even your run-of-the-mill boot camp – we said KNOCKOUT. Get in the ring with this 45 minute test of endurance and physical strength – conquering obstacles and defying gravity, that’s what we do. High intensity, explosive, functional, core-centric, raw, gruelling – yet FUN. How?? It’s PILOXING – take our word for it.
Benefits
With a distinctive utilization of Pilates principles throughout, the impact of plyometrics and sports drills is safely experienced and significantly reduced. Don’t think this lessens the intensity – quite the opposite. Your fitness level will be taken to places you didn’t know you were capable of achieving. Muscles will gain endurance – respond faster and more efficiently. Your core is on fire, your arms and thighs are on fire – YOU ARE ON FIRE. It’s time to ignite – join the movement.

Tai Chi
Who is it for?
Everybody – no restrictions / no exceptions
How it works
Tai Chi is a type of martial art very well known for its defence techniques and health benefits. The martial art has evolved over the years into an effective means of alleviating stress and anxiety. It has been considered to be a form of ‘meditation in motion’ which promotes serenity and inner peace.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition, its beliefs are thought to have been created by the Taoist monk Zhang Sanfeng in the 12th century.
The phrase “t’ai chi ch’uan” translates to “supreme ultimate fist” or “boundless fist”. Tai Chi has influences that go back to Taoist and Buddhist monasteries.
There are five different styles of Tai Chi, each with their own separate methods and principles:
- Chen-style
- Yang-style
- Wu- or Wu (Hao)-style
- Wu-style
- Sun-style
Benefits
Tai Chi is considered to be safe for people of all ages as it does not put too much stress on the muscles and joints.
In addition to being safe, Tai Chi is also inexpensive as it does not require much equipment. It can be practiced either in a group or alone.
Modern research has found that Tai Chi has positive effects on balance control, fitness and flexibility. In addition, the martial art has been claimed to reduce the risk of falls among elderly individuals who have suffered from severe heart conditions.
