We are so excited to be affiliated with the British Functional Fitness Association. By becoming a member we will be joining a community that’s dedicated to growing competitive functional fitness in the UK.

The British Functional Fitness Association are actively seeking recognition for the sport of functional fitness in the UK with Sport England. They provide governance and they regulate the sport in the UK, representing and protecting the interests of all stakeholders in the competitive functional fitness community.

We support their work and want to help grow this important community for fitness, where we believe that fitness is for everyone.

We are in the process of building our Functional Fitness website where you will be able to learn more about the training and gain access to free training plans that you can do at home with no equipment. You will be able to see our workouts and come and join us. We believe that fitness is for everyone. These workouts are scaled to ability and have zero gymnastics in them.

Our workouts are based on the 6 fundamental movements of life, Squat, Press, Pull, Push, Carry and Lunge. Training these areas improves your stability and mobility and increases longevity.

New bikes

Velocity

The new bikes have arrived at Velocity Disco Spin. We have 12 new bikes for your spin class.
These are belt driven proving a smoother ride. The seats have been selected for your comfort, they are gel seats and provide the adequate padding. They are rear flywheel driven which means the front of the bikes are less rigid meaning the bike responds to your movement.

The bikes are unique in the fact that they have selector gears, 1-8. This provides the rider with the adequate gear for each stage of the class. You can still chose the gear that is most comfortable for you. There is no pressure for you to be in the same gear as anyone else. This is your class and your workout.

The new bikes have statistic monitors attached which show you are speed, cadence, heart rate and distance. This will help you gage the intensity of your class. The computers are a guide only and not completely accurate.

Book on now for our classes and give them a go.
