• I’ve never done Callanetics and I’m over 40 will Callanetics work for me?
    Yes, keeping the classes small means we can modify every exercise to suit your fitness level.
  • I’m young and workout regularly at the gym with weights. Will Callanetics work for me?
    Absolutely, we’ll start with helping you to relax your muscles during your Callanetics training and also lengthening out any short, contracted muscles to promote healthy blood flow throughout your tissues.  This will assist with creating a leaner look to your shape. We’ll then intensify exercises as needed.
  • How many times a week should I do Callanetics?
    If you’re young and fit then it’s recommended you do Callanetics 3-5 times in first few weeks.  The more consistent you are with your workouts the quicker you’ll see results and maintain motivation to continue on your body sculpting journey.  Once you’re happy with your results maintenance is only 2-3 sessions a week. If you’re older, just out of injury or sedentary period and just starting Callanetics, we suggest resting your muscles for a couple of days after your first workout to see how your body responds.  Once any muscle soreness has passed book in for second session.  Following sessions should be no longer than 3-4 days apart for best results.
  • What about cardio?
    We recommend walking daily.  Applying the concepts of check points and counter extensions along with other Callanetics principles you will learn in class, will help reduce belly fat and keep your muscles toned.
  • Callanetics is non-impact but don’t we need to have some impact movements in our activities?
    Yes, fascia, or our connective tissue, has four different properties and one of them is elastic which needs to be trained differently to how we train during a Callanetics non-impact workout. This involves incorporating some impact sports or activities.  This can be jogging, sprinting or using a skipping rope.
