Question 1

I haven't exercised for a while and I'm very unfit, will I be able to keep up?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We all need to start somewhere, and there is never any pressure of having to "keep up". All our training is circuit based, which means you can work out to your own ability at each station. You may want to go slower or lighter on weights with some exercises, and faster and heavier with others. And if you need to take a break in-between that’s absolutely fine too. Whilst it’s always good to challenge oneself, there is never any pressure to do more than your best.

Question 2

I'm not very confident, will I fit in?

Accepted Answer

We promise you will. Our small-group workouts are fun and social, and everyone is super friendly and will make you feel welcome from day one. If you are unsure, pop around and have a look, and you can always come meet with us before or after class if you want some reassurance.

Question 3

Will I be shown how to use the equipment?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We always start our workouts with a briefing where we go through each exercise, timings and running order, and health and safety protocols., even if everyone is familiar with the equipment or exercise. We take your health and safety very seriously so we will always make sure you know the equipment, the exercises and know how to apply the correct form. If you are unsure during the workout we are always on hand to help.

Question 4

What if I start and find out it's not for me?

Accepted Answer

We really do hope you will love it. If not - no hard feelings at all, we promise. We know that alfresco training in all-weathers is not for everyone.

If you're unsure before you start - We offer a free weekend taster for you to try us out, and we also have a 30-day trial, both with zero commitment.

If you have already signed up for one of our memberships you can cancel at any time.

Question 5

Is there parking available nearby?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you'll find free parking on surrounding roads. There is also paid parking available in Alton at "Lady Place" appx 7-10min walk away.

Question 6

Are there toilets or changing facilities available?

Accepted Answer

We're training outdoors in a public space, so unfortunately we don't have the comfort of restrooms or changing facilities

Question 7

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Because our workouts are always outdoors the conditions vary, so for your own comfort, health, and safety, you're always required to wear fitness/workout appropriate clothing. The rest is very much weather dependent and up to your own preferences. We do recommend wearing grippy outdoor training shoes to avoid slipping in the grass, and a pair of workout gloves to save your fingers in cold weather.

Question 8

What do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

WATER
Always bring a bottle of water. Never underestimate dehydration also in cooler conditions. In the winter we recommend an insulated bottle with slightly warmer water. Please avoid single-use plastic bottles - they are genuinely bad for you and the environment.

MEDICATION & SUPPORT
Remember to bring any required medication. We are training outdoors in nature, so anyone prone to allergies should take extra precaution. Also bring any required physical support aids such as knee/elbow braces or compression socks/leggings etc - anything that you normally use when exercising.

OTHER
A sweat towel for your own comfort is never a bad idea. As we train outdoors sunscreen and mosquio repellant can also come in handy.

Question 9

I have an injury, can I attend?

Accepted Answer

Always consult with your medical practitioner before starting exercise. If you have the consent to train, speak to us and we can adjust the training to suit your individual needs.

If you have a diagnosed injury or recovering from injury always follow your practitioners rehab protocol and instructions.

If you have an indiagnosed injury or condition - do not start exercising before you have confirmed with your GP it is safe to do so.
