'The class was good fun and there was a great energy in the room,” enthuses our tester. “You can push each of the exercises to the level that suits you and increase the pace as you get used to the routines.'

‘This workout is particularly good at shaping up those classic problem areas: your thighs and bum! Combining the precision of Pilates, the alignment of yoga and strength moves from sports conditioning, it can help you hit a wide range of fitness goals, whether you’re looking to blast fat, improve flexibility or tone up.’

'The result is a realigned and rebalanced body that works harmoniously and efficiently. To ensure the muscles are re-lengthened, stretches are performed after each strength section so you can really sculpt and redefine your entire body in super-fast time.'

'I’m feeling more toned - especially my thighs. I’ve also noticed a difference in my posture and am more aware of the way I hold myself and I feel as if my shoulder muscles are more taught, and I don’t slouch as much. And I’m continuing training at home, too, albeit using the towel rail in my bathroom as a barre!'

'Low impact, total body workout lifts the butt, tones the thighs, flattens the abs and sculpts the arms, all the while protecting the joints. Small isometric contractions are performed and integrated with an interval training approach that burns fat and improves cardiovascular fitness.'
