Have you tried our Hybrid Functional class yet? A lot of care and planning is factored into our class structure and we always work with you to ensure that you are feeling safe, supported and confident. We keep the class numbers smaller, meaning we can be observant to your needs.

We LOVE our Esteem Active community!!

You never fail to bring your best effort in class and a warm smile for our instructors 💪❤️‍🔥

Let us know what you love about coming into Esteem Active in the comments 💥

We absolutely love supporting our local athletes at Cove Cobras.

Last night’s session focused on functional movements designed to simulate the demands of on-field performance, with every exercise planned with purpose.

As always, the athletes were an absolute hoot, and we’re proud to support them as they head into finals.

Last night’s professional development session explored our approach to class planning, communication, coaching and the overall member experience, centred around one simple question: What experience do we want to create for every person who walks through our doors, and how do we want them to feel when they leave?

One of the things that makes our team so special is the depth of knowledge and experience each instructor brings. From physiotherapy and elite sport to dance and strength training, every instructor brings a unique perspective, and seeing that knowledge shared so openly with one another is something pretty special.

As a team, we’re committed to continually learning, evolving and investing in our craft because we believe great coaching is about more than what we teach. It’s about how we teach, why we teach, and the experience we create for every person who walks through our doors.

Layers: the gift that keeps on giving

Why do we add layers to certain movements? The simplest answer is there isn’t just one reason. If we listed them all you would be reading a full essay.

In short layering is a programming tool where each progression serves a purpose based on the overall objective of a movement.

Developing foundations / refining technique
Changing the demands of the movement
Build confidence
Introducing more complex movements
Allowing you to work at a level that’s right for your body on the day
Layers can also be added into transitions into entirely different movement that complements the overall objective of a class (ie movement balance, muscle balance, contraction type, and other variables)

Also that’s Jess one of our amazing instructors in this reel. She’s on the schedule today if you’d like to book a class with her

have you been wanting to level up in your classes? ❤️‍🔥💪

in this video, we have unilateral front work - the same exercise with just the slightest tweaks to challenge the stability and upper body control!

at the top we have:
- low to high kneel (wide base of support + we’re using the legs to assist the upper body)

at the bottom we have:
- 90/90 kneeling (single leg/narrow base of support + were static through the glutes, so there’s no momentum from the lower body to assist)
- a bonus layer! The front leg comes into a calf rise (again, reducing the base of support)

if you’re feeling ready to level up, book into an intermediate/advanced reformer class through the EA app! If you have any questions, let us know ☺️
