Classes in the Mat Room

• Mat SLT — Full-body strength and control on the mat, using a variety of small equipment. Beginner-friendly with progressions offered throughout.
• Mat SLT (Hot) — The same class under infrared heat. Warmer muscles, more sweat, and a genuinely different feel to the same movements.
• Barre Burn — Ballet-inspired conditioning — small range, high repetition work for the glutes, thighs, shoulders and core. Suitable for beginners.
• Athletic Sculpt (Hot) — Our hardest class. Fast, interval-style work in the infrared room, best suited to intermediate and advanced members.

Infrared heat, and what it actually does

Infrared panels warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you, so the room feels comfortable rather than heavy. Muscles reach working temperature sooner, which is why hot classes tend to feel more open through the hips and spine from the first few minutes.

Hydrate well beforehand and bring a towel. Hot classes are not suitable during pregnancy at any stage — Mat SLT and Barre Burn are the classes to pick instead.

Mat or reformer first?

If cost or schedule flexibility matters most, start on the mat — you will learn the same breathing, alignment and core control principles for roughly half the price per class.

If your goal is progressive resistance, or you are working around a joint that doesn't love bodyweight load, start on the reformer. Plenty of members end up doing both: reformer for strength, mat and barre for volume and conditioning.
