The Studio
You must bring grip socks and a sweat towel to class. We’re an environmentally-conscious studio and don’t provide plastic cups, so bring your own water bottle too.
First time coming to STRONG? Give yourself enough time to find parking and arrive at the studio 10-15 minutes before class so we can show you around the studio and introduce you to your instructor.
Been before? Arrive five minutes before class so you have time to grab your spot. If you’re late, your spot may be given to someone on the waitlist.
Yes. Put your belongings in our lockers and get down for more.
More grip, no slip. For your own safety, you must wear grip socks. No exceptions.
You need your own water bottle and a sweat towel. Forgot yours? Purchase a STRONG towel at the studio.
More sweat, more spa. We provide you with showers, change rooms and toilets with full amenities when you workout at STRONG. Eucalyptus-scented towels included.
Each STRONG studio has between 15-20 Rowformer beds. Hit up your studio of choice to confirm.
Leave it in your locker while you sweat in class. Proud of what you’ve achieved? So are we. Grab a picture in front of our photo wall after class to show it off.
The Workout
Our classes are 45 minutes on either our Rowformer or Bikeformer which includes light and heavy resistance strength work for a full-body, STRONG workout. We blend Pilates-inspired resistance training with cardio and strength training to work your upper body, back, legs, glutes, obliques, and abs.
Our Rowformer and Bikeformer are the first machines to combine resistance training with cardio, and we layer in heavy weights. Our classes combine strong controlled movements (slow twitch muscle fibre activation that helps build endurance) and bursts of fast movements (fast twitch fibre activation that promotes speed and power). It’s also low impact so it’s one of the safest and most efficient ways to train.
Our programming is designed where you could attend each day, however three classes a week is the minimum goal we’d suggest to get the most benefits of the STRONG workout. Our classes leave little to no impacts on the joints so you can come as often as you like. But every body is different and it’s important to do what feels good for your body.
Train on our exclusive machines - the Rowformer, a Reformer fused with a rower, and the Bikeformer, a Reformer fused with a bike. You won’t train on them anywhere else.
The Rowformer is a first-of-its-kind machine that combines progressive spring tension, quality vinyl anti-microbial seats with foam insets for cushion and stability, resistance bands, and the renowned Concept 2 rowing machine equipped with a proprietary foot plate and seat system.
Introduced in 2023, the Bikeformer stays true to our high intensity, low impact ethos, giving our members another way to HIIT their goals. The introduction of the Bikeformer allows you to choose your favourite equipment for your cardio workout.
Built for humans who want more. More variety, more sweat, more results in a single session.
All fitness levels are welcome in each class so there’s no need for beginner classes. Our STRONG trainers can modify the class to your needs. If you’re doing the STRONG workout for the first time, arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can get you comfortable with the Rowformer.
The hardest thing you’ll do all week. The best thing too. Because you’re down for more – more challenging, more sweat, more comfort-zone pushing. Our classes are intense. But don’t sweat it. Yet. Our STRONG trainers can adjust the intensity to your needs. The rowformer changes angles to target different areas of the body during the exercises.
Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get it first go. Enjoy the beats, embrace the challenge, and give yourselves a couple of weeks to get to know the exercises and flow of the classes.
Get what you put in. Plus a little more. The number of calories burned depends on your gender and size, but on average you could burn upwards of 800+ calories in a single 45-minute class.
