We do this not only to create a safe and structured learning environment, but because it allows the athlete to feel comfortable whilst learning to become competent and confident, leading to safer and happier athletes which get faster results.

For those who aren’t able to make it to one of our facilities, follow and learn the following movements with “virtuosity” to transform your physique, increase your performance, move pain free and to change your perception of yourself and your surroundings.

I suggest completing 2-3 sets of 10 reps with a light weight to start with.

Work through each rep with control and tempo so that you can create a neuro-muscular connection and make adjustments as neccessary.
