Programmes
RGU SPORT Gym Programme
RGU SPORT’s Gym Programme allow members to work through a personalised programme based on their own fitness goals. The programmes are split into two different pathways; high intensity interval training, also known as HIIT, and a strength pathway.
HIIT has three different stages varying in difficulty each lasting 6 weeks. Using HIIT style of training has shown to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance by working at high levels of intensity with small periods of rest.
Strength has five different stages with the aim of developing coordination and strength while learning the key movement patterns that will be utilised in daily life and also in the advanced stages of the programme. Each stage will last a total of 6 weeks and will increase in both difficulty and intensity.
You will have access to a 60-minute one-to-one session in the gym for your first week and the following 6 weeks of the programme is self-led.
