The line-up also includes additional Pilates, Line Dancing, Aqua Fit, Yoga, Body Attack and Tai Chi sessions.
East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure's fitness team has welcomed new instructors on board, to support the local community in achieving their fitness and wellbeing goals.
Jenna McCallion, Gyms and Fitness Co-Ordinator at East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, explained: “We're excited to launch our brand new classes, add to our fitness timetable and welcome new instructors to join our team.
“Our brand new Teen Strength class will support young locals in learning gym techniques like deadlifting, squatting and will concentrate on all major muscle groups and compound moves. The class is for ages 14 and above and will ensure juniors are learning how to do these exercises effectively and safely, taken by local instructor Emma Burrows on Fridays at 3.30pm at Barrhead Foundry.
“The Functional Training class is another new addition to our timetable, led by our gym team in our Studio at Barrhead Foundry, on Fridays at 5pm. It's an intense cardio-based circuits class where we do various exercises as part of a team with functional movements, so you'll get better at working in the gym and at home as well. We'll be doing squat jumps and burpees and using equipment like the rower and SkiErg, tackling all the functional training exercises that you see in the gym. There's a bit of a competitive element to it and you'll push yourself to the limit. It's challenging but really beneficial and you'll see great results!
“Our new Les Mills Body Combat sessions will keep you fighting fit, and we're excited to welcome our fitness members and pay-as-you-go customers to new classes at Eastwood Park Leisure, Barrhead Foundry and Eastwood High Sports Centres.”
Barrhead Foundry will also introduce a new Pilates freestyle class, led by instructor Lorna Watson, on Wednesday and Friday evenings. A new Body Pump class with Lisa Rae has also been added, as well as a new Yoga Freestyle class with Harvie Panesar.
Eastwood Park Leisure will also welcome a series of new classes, including Les Mills Body Combat led by instructor Ashley Walton, a new Body Attack class, Tai Chi with Heather Budge, Line Dancing with Joyce Butchart, and another Pilates Freestyle class with instructor Catherine McKay. Eastwood High Sports Centre will host new classes including Aqua Fit, Body Balance and Les Mills Core.
Kenny McDonnell, Gyms and Fitness Team Leader at East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure added: “We have an exceptional, enthusiastic team who are committed to supporting our customers and helping them to achieve their fitness goals.
“Our fitness membership offers access to three gyms, three swimming pools and over 100 fitness classes per week and it's fantastic to expand our timetable and team to help residents keep active.”
Classes can be booked on the ER Leisure app.
