Can I watch the classes at any time?
Of course! If you don't catch our live classes, they are available to watch for several days on our Facebook page, and of our videos are available to watch 24/7 in our comprehensive video bank here on the website.
-
Do I need to do every class in the timetable?
No, you can do as many or as few classes as you like. We suggest sticking as closely as possible to one of our suggested timetables, as that way you will get the best results – there are several different timetables for you to choose from, depending on how many days per week you can train. Ultimately you should fit the training around your daily life.
-
Can anyone see me exercising during the live workouts?
No, you will be able to see Naomi but nobody will be able to see you.
-
What equipment do I need?
You'll need some weighted equipment - we suggest dumbbells and/or a kettlebell. Also, an optional resistance band and/or mini-band will come in handy, as will a skipping rope.
-
What are resistance bands & mini-bands?
A resistance band is a long rubber band with handles on each end which can be used to add resistance to exercises. A mini-band is a smaller circular band which is great for adding resistance to specific exercises such as glute workouts.
-
What weight of kettlebell or dumbbells should I start with?
We recommend a starting weight of 4-6kg for women, while 8-12kg should be sufficient for men. Bear in mind that this is a general recommendation and everyone is different.

Is it suitable for beginners?
